Quran For Barkat And For Esale Sawab
About Esale Sawab I’ve heard that It’s bidat but my question was not regarding just esale sawab I want to know about Reciting Quran just for Barkat like we do on daily basis So If we Do Quran Khawani for Barkat just reciting not for esale sawab for deceased so is it bidat? just like if someone gets sick he recites some Portion of Quran and that Kind of acts are those bidat because we are not doing it in the sense of ibaddat. And the referred link above Sir Javed Ghamidi said If you offered prayers, fasting etc if its Sawab not going to deceased whatever so you will get the sawab so continue doing it who stops you. What he wants to says Isn’t it Bidat doing this for esale sawab just like recite Quran with neyat of esale Sawab. 1:16 to 1:17 something https://youtu.be/nXEKH5BxMzg?t=4594 Please explain thoroughly.
In principle, the Quran is a book of guidance that we’re supposed to read, contemplate upon, understand, and adapt to. Quran 2:185 Translation by Asad It was the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was [first] bestowed from on high as a guidance unto man and a self-evident proof of that guidance, and as the standard by which to discern the true from the false… However, reciting the Quran also has some intangible benefits. For example, since it reminds us of our Creator, we find peace in reading it (Quran 13:28). Generally such benefits are termed as ‘barakah’ or blessings. There’s nothing wrong with someone reciting the Quran for such blessings keeping in mind that the main purpose of the Quran is to guide us. On an individual basis if someone wants to do a good deed with an intention that it would benefit a deceases loved one, they can do that, however, as Ghamidi sahab explained in the video, God will still deal with that person according to His laws. This is the same principle when we make a dua in favor of a deceased loved one. It will be accepted if God finds any room for it in dealing with that person according to His laws. Even if they don’t benefit from our good deed or dua, it will still benefit our own selves. The way that esal-e-sawab is generally conducted in our society where a lot of people gather up, many of whom don’t even know the deceased, and recite the Quran for his benefit is an innovation or bidah. There’s no precedence for such an act by Prophet Muhammad SAW or His sahaba. Since this is an unsubstantiated practice that is considered to be a part of religion, therefore we should abstain from it all costs. I hope that this helps.
If some women want to sit together, the best would be that you try to read and understand the Quran. Or perhaps you can listen to the recitation of the Quran together. I’m not sure what’s the point in individually reading the Quran while sitting together.
