Reading the Qur’an fast with no understanding or Reading it with Tadabbur (pondering) which is better?
Allah ﷻ says:
˹This is˺ a blessed Book which We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ so that they may contemplate its verses, and people of reason may be mindful.
[38:29]
Ibn Jarir at-Tabari رحمه الله would say, “I am astonished with one who recites the Qur’an and he does not know its ta’weel (i.e. tafseer), how (then) will he taste the sweetness of his recitation?!”
Shaykh Abdur razzaq al-badr حفظه الله said in one of his sitting.
Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“Reward for reading the Qur’an with tartil, Melody/beautiful recitation, and with tadabbur (pondering) is greater in it’s value/quality and reward of reading the Qur’an quickly/very fast it’s reward is based on it’s number
So the one who read with melodious beautiful recitation (and pondering) is like the one who gave sadaqah with valuable/precious jewels, or his (reward) is like the one who set a slave free – the value/quality of the slave who is tremendous
And the one who read fast lots of verses – (with little understanding/pondering) Is like the one who gave charity with lots of darahim or the likes of releasing many slaves – each of whose value is less”
To conclude the one who reads the Qur’an with tadabbur (pondering and understanding) what is being read the effect of that on the slave and the yield that one will get from reading with (pondering and understanding) is extremely tremendous, where it will lead to increase in iman, in which he’ll be actualizing the purpose of reading the Quran. Therefore the people of knowledge they advice the one who reads the Qur’an, his concern/worry should not be when will i finish/make khatm of surah rather his concern should be how can I gain guidance from (reading)the Qur’an?
