Incorrectly reciting the Quraan Majeed

Submitted by user2 on Fri, 2018-09-21 07:17

Q: When I recite Quraan, whether looking inside or not, if I dont know the correct pronunciation of a word or I don't know what the next word is, I guess what it is and continue in that way. I feel lazy to check the correct word or its pronunciation even though I have a Qur'an near me.

Also, sometimes when I read Qur'an while looking inside, I guess the next ayah or the continuation of same ayah because I feel that I know it or I have heard or read a similar ayah somewhere. I don't read a word wrong while knowing the correct pronunciation.

Is this the same case as adding or removing a word or letter?

A: Guessing is not right. If you do not know it then guess work is not right. Check what is right and recite accordingly.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
