Beaut-ify
By ʿĀmatur-Raḥmān (Female servant of The Most Merciful)
Recite with your voice beautified.
NabiyyulLoh ﷺ said that:
“Allah listens more attentively to a man with a beautiful voice who recites Qur’an out loud than the master of a singing slave-girl listens to his slave.”
Source: Ibn Majah no. 1340, Ibn Hibban no. 754 – [Sahih – according to Ibn Hibban, Suyuti and Ibn Taymiyah]
So, beautify your voice, for the sake of your Lord. For the sake of your Lord…
May Allah make the Qur’an the light of our hearts. Āmīn
May Allah help us to do ‘ibaadah for his sake alone. Āmīn
Additionally:
At some point, he ﷺ also said that whoever doesn’t beautify their voice while they recite the Qur’an isn’t one of us. This was reported in Sahih Al-bukhari.
