Ustaaz marking mistakes in hifz students Quraans
Q: I wanted to ask Mufti Sahib for some advice for Hifz Asatiza. There is a need to mark mistakes in students' Qurans to conscientise them of their mistakes. However, it is taken to another level where words of Quran are circled, overlined many a time on the word. Please advise the correct method so that we can practice.
A: Utmost respect should be shown to the Quraan Majeed as this is the kalaam of Allah Ta'ala. The ustaad may underline or make a mark under the word where the mistake is made or he may make a mark on the side margin to indicate that the mistake is in this line. However, making circles or boxes around the word or making lines on the letters or words is not right and is not in keeping to the respect of the mubaarak words of the Quraan Majeed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ (سورة الحج:32 )
أَخْرَجَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ فِي فَضَائِلِهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَعَ رَجُلٍ مُصْحَفًا قَدْ كَتَبَهُ بِقَلَمٍ دَقِيقٍ فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ وَضَرَبَهُ وَقَالَ: عَظِّمُوا كِتَابَ اللهِ (الإتقان في العلوم القرآن للسيوطي 4/182)
ولأن تعظيم القرآن واجب (بدائع الصنائع 1/33)
