I have a question regarding Sajda / sajdah- e -tilawat / prostration of recitation . There are points in Quran, where a prostration is considered compulsory , why ?
Q:Also Why the locations of these following verses below ( please check pix ) are marked in the Arabic text of the Quran with a symbol in the shape of mihrab / محراب and in some cpoies of Quran text word sajdah mention apart as well in arabic/ urdu , What's the reasoning behind this ?
verses of prostration Lo! those who are with thy Lord are not too proud to do Him service, but they praise Him and prostrate before Him.
7:206 And unto Allah falleth prostrate whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the morning and the evening hours.
13:15And unto Allah maketh prostration whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of living creatures, and the angels (also) and they are not proud.
16:49Say: Believe therein or believe not, lo! those who were given knowledge before it, when it is read unto them, fall down prostrate on their faces, adoring,
17:107These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.
19:58Hast thou not seen that unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the hills, and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind, while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due. He whom Allah scorneth, there is none to give him honour. Lo! Allah doeth what He will.
22:18And when it is said unto them: Prostrate to the Beneficent! they say: And what is the Beneficent? Are we to prostrate to whatever thou (Muhammad) biddest us? And it increaseth aversion in them.
25:60So that they worship not Allah, Who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knoweth what ye hide and what ye proclaim,27:25
Only those believe in Our revelations who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate and hymn the praise of their Lord, and they are not scornful
32:15(David) said: He hath wronged thee in demanding thine ewe in addition to his ewes, and lo! many partners oppress one another, save such as believe and do good works, and they are few. And David guessed that We had tried him, and he sought forgiveness of his Lord, and he bowed himself and fell down prostrate and repented.
38:24 And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship
41:37Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him.
53:62 وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَM. M. Pickthall
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?
84:21 Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985)
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate Abdel Haleem
Why, when the Quran is read to them, do they not prostrate themselves [to God]?
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِب
M. M. Pickthal
Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah
). 96:19 Abdel Haleem
No! Do not obey him [Prophet]: bow down in worship and draw close
Q: Are the verses
84:21 and
96:19 the reason of sajdah-e-tilawat ?
what i have heard is !! When reading these verses we should perform extra prostration' either reciting Quran or listening to someone's recitation, / (downloaded or online translation listening are also includes ), and when one of the verses of prostration is recited he / she must perform extra prostration / Sajdah,
There are also two recommendations !
1: If a person he/she reciting Quran at home and recited a sajdah verse then ,Put the Quran to the side in respectful manner ,
And start from a sitting position and locate the direction of the qiblah and face it , Make intention that u are doing a sajdah-e-tilawat
Say Allahu Akbar" (Takbir) , Go straight into sajdah (same like u would do in salat/ namaz/ prayers) , Sitting up after the single sajdah /prostration , Saying "as-salamu alayikum " (as u would when ending namaz/prayer), And Carry on reading the Quran.
2: Some said Sajdah -e-tilawat does not need to be performed straight away.( mean starting from sitting position ) one should put the Quran to one side and then stand up to offer the Sajdah similar to the way we do in Salat/ namaz
3: some said Either starting from a sitting position or standing position , or after recitation is finished (its okay what u prefer)
4: Or do in ur next prayers/salat but must perform ,this is recommended as sunnah
Q: Is performing sajdah -e-tilawat sunnah of wajib ?
Q: I don't know but i think it is not obligation to do so and it is not a sin to omit this ? Since am used to listen Quran with translation , so , what if i have repeatedly listen the sajdah verse at home or outside home or in the car , and some time I do repeats the same verse several times , then what would i do ? how may sajdah - e- tilawat should i perform ,if i repeatedly listens sajdah verses ? So If one reads a sajdah verse more than a few times does he/she have to perform multiple sajdah-e-tilawat?
Q; If some one repeating particular ayah/verse , over and over again like 10/15 times so he/she could memorize it, do he/she have to make sajda tilawat 10/15 times ? What about them ?
Q: Or only one Sajdah-e-Tilawat will be sufficent ? whether reading or listening or memorizing ?
Ur feedback please ?
