memorizing quran without understanding

memorizing quran without understanding:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  is His slave and Messenger.The Quran is a book of guidance for mankind. Allaah revealed it for reflection. Allaah Says (what means): {[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.} [Quran 38:29]

The Companions  used to ask the Messenger of Allaah  about those verses of the Quran they found difficult to understand. Ibn Mas‘ood  narrated that when the verse {They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice} [Quran 6:82] was revealed, the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah  were distressed and said: “Which of us is not unjust to himself?” The Messenger of Allaah  said: “It is not as you think. Rather, it is as Luqmaan said to his son: {“O my son, do not associate [anything] with Allaah. Indeed, association [with Him] is great injustice.”} [Quran 31:13].” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Likewise, the Companions, used to explain the Quran to the Taabi‘een [those who came after them]; Mujaahid  said: “I went through the Mus-haf three times with Ibn ‘Abbaas, each time from its beginning to its end. I would stop after each verse and ask him about it.”

Therefore, many Muslim scholars dedicated themselves to Tafseer [interpretation of the Quran] and compiled books thereon and they continue to do so. In fact, we have never found anything from the books of knowledge that any of the scholars ever forbade people from learning the interpretation of the Quran. Rather, they warned people from presenting opinions about the Quran without knowledge.

Besides, the scholars laid down some principles for Tafseer upon which this science (of Tafseer) is based. They even compiled independent books on the subject, like the book Usool At-Tafseer by Ibn Taymiyyah ; or they included these principles in books of Tafseer, just as Ibn Katheer  did in the introduction to his Tafseer.   For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 192685 and 90244.

As for the opinion of forbidding the Tafseer of the Quran, on the basis that it is sufficient to recite it (without understanding), then, as far as we know, no one of the trustworthy Muslim scholars has ever said such a thing. Instead, this is only a matter in the minds of some laymen and we do not know when exactly such ideas started to appear. What laymen say (about matters of religion) should not be given attention. Rather, they should be guided to the truth through wisdom and good admonition. Allaah Knows best.

he answer to the question: Is it permissible to memorizing quran without understanding it?

Yes, it is permissible for believing men and women to read the Qur’aan even if they do not understand the meaning, but it is prescribed to ponder and think so that one may understand, and to refer to books of tafseer (commentaries) if one has enough knowledge to understand them, and to refer to books of tafseer and Arabic language in order to benefit from that, and he can ask scholars about anything he does not understand. What is meant is that he should ponder the meanings, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“(This is) a Book (the Qur’aan) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember”

[Saad 38:29].

Trying to meditate on the Qur’an:

The believer should ponder the meanings, i.e., he should pay attention to reading and think about what it means; he should understand the meanings and thus he will benefit from it. If he does not understand the meaning perfectly, he will still understand many meanings. So let him read carefully and ponder and understand. This also applies to women. The reader should benefit from the words of his or her Lord and understand the meaning so that he may act upon it. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Do they not then think deeply in the Qur’aan, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?”

[Muhammad 47:24].

Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, urges and encourages us to think and ponder His words. When the believer — man or woman — reads the Book of Allah, it is prescribed for them to ponder and think and pay attention to what is read. so that they may benefit from the words of Allah and so that they may understand the words of Allah and so that they may act upon what they learn from the words of Allah. They may seek help in doing so from books of tafseer that have been written by scholars such as those by Ibn Katheer, Ibn Jareer, al-Baghawi, al-Shawkaani and others. They may also make use of books of Arabic language and ask scholars who are known for their knowledge and virtue about anything they do not understand. End quote.
