Please comment on the speed with which the huffaaz recite the Qur'aan Shareef in Taraaweeh Salaat.

Question

Please comment on the speed with which the huffaaz recite the Qur'aan Shareef in Taraaweeh Salaat. Much of what they recite cannot be understood. Is it correct to recite the Qur'aan Shareef in this way for Taraaweeh Salaat?

Answer

The reason why they recite at such speed is because their hifz is extremely shaky. If they recite in the way they should recite as the Imaams in the Haramain do, then these huffaaz will break down. They will not be able to recite. They are hafiz in name only. The quality of Hifz Is extremely poor. Similarly the quality of the 'ilm' of the new breed of molvis is putrid. We are moving swiftly towards Qiyaamah, hence all departments of the Deen are suffering severe haemorrhaging. While the 'huffaaz' make a mockery of the Qur'aan Shareef, the molvis of today who masquerade as Ulama, are treacherously selling the Deen down the drain. About these times, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) predicted: "Knowledge (of the Deen) will be acquired for purposes other than the Deen."
