The sequence of the Qur’aan Shareef
Q: I heard the first verse of the Quran shareef revealed is iqra, and now the quran is starting with Al Fatheha. Why was the Quran shareef compiled in this manner?
Qur'an
Small alif symbol (khara zabar) and alif

Reciting the Qur'an correctly and with the right pronunciation
Q: I kindly request you to answer my few questions clearly:
- 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?
- Is this a virtuous deed to study different types of tarannums? If so what intention should we make before starting to learn?
- 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)?
- 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?

Q: Is it permissible to read all the sajdah tilawat after completing the entire quran or do we have to read our sajdah tilawat as soon as I read the ayah of sajda?
