Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Sir, One of my good friends is very pious, but does not read Koran with meaning on my almost daily request. He is in need of money for his marriage. I want help him but if he starts reading Koran with meaning! Can I do this without his knoledge by requesting to read Koran with meaning ? AS Mahmood

Answer:

 

Give money to understand quran

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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125:

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

 

Except for force and compulsion, one is at liberty to employ any means available to spread the Truth of Islam to all those who are willing to listen to good caution. To the best of our knowledge, there is absolutely no restriction in Shariah if one wishes to offer another some material help in return for their reading and/or understanding of the Glorious Quran. 

 

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,
