Quran recitation that even made children cry in taraweeh prayers
REALLY Heart Touching Recitation. Pease do not miss to watch. Dear viewers, I had memorized this Surah in my childhood, and have read and recited it many times. But frankly to speak, I was completely overwhelmed by this particular recitation when I first watched it. This deep, meaning revealing, emotionally charged recitation will make you watch and listen it again and again. Surah Al Fajr touches upon deeds of society and individuals and how God dealt with them. In the beginning, it deals with deeds of old powerful communities and nations (AAD, Thamud in Ancient Arabia and Pharaoh in ancient Egypt). Some excelled in architecture while others mastered cutting and carving the mountains to make their housing and dwelling (remains of these carved maintains of Thamud are still found in Al Oula region of Saudi Arabia called Madaen Saleh and are among UNESCO declared archeological sites). They were materially well off, but morally bankrupt. They spoiled the land of God, spread mischief, did injustice to others, and totured people. So Allah punished them and we see they are now part of history. Then, we try to find how an individual reacts to Allahs favors on him? He beams with happiness and says that my Lord has honored me. But when God tries him in difficult times, he says, oh, my God has humiliated me and has let me down. On the contrary, he should remain thankful (in good times) and patient and firm (in bad times) having unshaken faith in Him always. Reading further, we find that God is unhappy with people for their bad treatment of orphans, for not feeding poor and hungry, for stealing inheritance money left by their dead parents/patrons for their family members. Orphans, poor, surviving children and women deserve attention and their rights should be well protected. Greed for wealth made them blind. Will they be spared? Will Allah not account them for their bad deeds on the Day of Judgement? As we further read, we find that this Earth will be made to powder and brought to end, and Allah will dispense justice to people. The wrongdoers will be in a sorry state then and they will repent for what they did in their life. Hell fire will be awaiting for transgressors, but the believers, who obeyed Allah and submitted their will to His commands, will be welcomed to the spacious paradise of their Merciful Lord.
This is the tarawih recitation of the Chapter (Surah) 89 of the Holy Quran titled Al Fajr (the Dawn or Daybreak).
English Translation of Surah Al Fajr : In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
89. Surah Al-Fajr (The Break of Day or the Dawn)
1. By the dawn;
2. By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah),
3. And by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah).
4. And by the night when it departs.
5. There is indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of understanding (and that, they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbeliefs, etc.)!
6. Did you (O Muhammad) not see (thought) how your Lord dealt with 'Ad (people)?
7. Who were very tall like lofty pillars,
8. The like of which were not created in the land?
9. And (with) Thamud (people), who cut (hewed) out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)?
10. And (with) Fir'aun (Pharaoh), who had pegs (who used to torture men by binding them to pegs)?
11. Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allah).
12. And made therein much mischief.
13. So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment.
14. Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them).
15. As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): "My Lord has honoured me."
16. But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"
17. Nay! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity (i.e. you neither treat them well, nor give them their exact right of inheritance)!
18. And urge not on the feeding of AlMiskin (the poor)!
19. And you devour inheritance all with greed,
20. And you love wealth with much love!
21. Nay! When the earth is ground to powder,
22. And your Lord comes with the angels in rows,
23. And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance (then) avail him?
24. He will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!"
25. So on that Day, none will punish as He will punish.
26. And none will bind as He will bind.
27. (It will be said to the pious): "O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction!
28. "Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing unto Him!
29. "Enter you, then, among My honoured slaves,
30. "And enter you My Paradise!"
