Qur'an

Reciting the Qur'an correctly and with the right pronunciation

Q: I kindly request you to answer my few questions clearly:

  1. Is all the types of tarannums like, bayyati, hijazi,sikah,jiharkaah, saba, nahawand,rast etc which exist today is jaiz in the view of deobandi ulamas?
  2. Is this a virtuous deed to study different types of tarannums? If so what intention should we make before starting to learn?
  3. Can we listen to Egyptian qurras who don't have beard? Does their qiraat and tarannum have an authentic chain which reaches to our Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?
  4. It is clear that some tarannum needs more breadth and learner should work very hard to achieve the goal. Is this a sunnah to work hard only for the sake of tarannum or it is like putting oneself into trouble which he cannot bear?

Sajdah-e-Tilaawat

Q:

  1. Does Sajdah Tilawat have to be commenced from a standing position or can it be done straight from a sitting position?
  2. When completing the Sajdah Tilwat does one have to stand up after the Sajdah or is it ok to complete the Sajdah by returning to the sitting position?

The meaning of Tawbah

Q: “Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allaah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allaah is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful” [al-Furqaan 25:68-70]

Above saying from Allah that repent and do righteous deeds so if you repent do you also need to do righteous deeds sametime for your repentance to get accepted? Another way of asking is, If you just repent without doing righteous deeds, would Allah accept your repentance? or you have to repent
and also need to do righteous deeds to get your repentance accepted? Also how long do you need to do righteous deeds?
