If one fears any mischief from the evil Jinns, all one needs to do is follow the example of the Prophet (saws) and recite the Muawidaat.

is it a sin if we donot do sajdah (14 sajdahs in quran) while reading the quran?

Answer:

Sajdah quran recitation

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: what is Muawidaat? could you pls. write.

’Muawwidaat’ is the name prescribed in Fiqh or Jurisprudence for the last two Surahs of the Glorious Quran: the 113^th Surah Al-Falaq and the 114^th Surah An-Naas. This pair of the two blessed Surahs is called and named the ‘Al-Muawwidaat’ in Islamic Fiqh.

Your Question: is it a sin if we donot do sajdah (14 sajdahs in quran) while reading the quran?

Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 2.41a

Topic: Ruling concerning prostration during the Quranic recitation

The majority of the scholars say that prostrations for the "'ayyat of sajdah" are Sunnah for the one who recites the 'ayyah and for the one who hears it. This is based on what al-Bukhari recorded from 'Umar who recited Surah An-Nahl upon the minbar one Friday, until he came to the "'ayyah of sajdah," and he descended from the pulpit and prostrated along with the people. On the next Friday, he recited the same and when he came to the 'ayyah of sajdah, he said: "O people, we have not been Commanded to prostrate (on a Verse of Sajdah). Whoever does so has acted correctly, while, there is no sin upon one who does not do so."

In addition, Bukhari and Muslim relate that Zaid ibn Thabit said: "I once recited Surah an-Najm to the Prophet (saws) and he (saws) did not prostrate during it."

Although it is preferred and a Sunnah to make the prostration when one hears or recites a Verse of Prostration from the Glorious Quran, if one forgets or delays the prostration, there is no harm and no sin upon the person.

But if the reason behind not prostrating when one hears or recites a Verse of Prostration from the Glorious Quran is because one is arrogant and proud, or one believes that Allah Subhanah, the High and Exalted does not deserve the prostration…then indeed such an intention would be a grave sin and tantamount to disbelief in the Sight of Allah Subhanah. But if one who sincerely believes forgets to prostrate when reciting or hearing a Verse of Prostration, or wishes to delay it until after he/she has finished their recitation, there is absolutely no harm and no sin.

Your Question: i am a tajweed learner, if a sajdah comes in a page, i keep repeating the same page many times , do i have to do the sajdah once or the same times i repeat the chapter?

May Allah Subhanah bless your striving to learn the science of reciting the Glorious Quran properly, and bestow its full and due reward upon you.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.545 Narrated by Uthman

The Prophet (saws) said, "The best among you (muslims) are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it."

Beloved Sister, if you are learning or teaching the Quran and are required to recite the verse of prostration again and again, one prostration at the first or the end of the class would more than suffice to fulfill the Sunnah of prostration. There is absolutely no need to do the prostrations for the number of times you have recited the verse of prostration in the process of your repetition.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
