The Art of Listening: Etiquettes of Hearing the Quran

While reciting earns reward, listening with focus is also an act of worship. It was the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) to ask Ibn Masud to recite for him, causing him to weep.

Active Silence

The silence required isn't just a lack of noise; it's an internal silencing of distracting thoughts. It's a respectful pause in your life to honor the King's speech.

Don't Talk Over It

A common mistake is playing the Quran in the background of a loud dinner party or chaotic shop. This is disrespectful. If you cannot listen, turn it off. The Quran should not be competing with idle chatter.
