TEACHING THE QUR’AAN IN A ZINA SETTING

Everyone is aware that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) has mentioned about the zina of the eyes, zina of the ears, zina of the tongue, zina of the heart, etc. We find ourselves in an era wherein even the zina lusts of the nafs are pursued via the Qur’aan Majeed. A Brother, commenting on this evil, writes:

“Quraan teaching and testing ghair mahram women in purdah and niqaab by a prominent Qari Saheb

Assalamualaikum

A family member informed me that a certain Qari Saheb who runs a Madressah Ihya id deen in Takolias farm in Lenasia conducts weekly Quraan lessons with his female Apa’s where they are instructed to recite passages of the Quraan to him and they beautify their voices when reciting in the name of learning tajweed. The Apa’s are forced to do this. The Qari Saheb explains how to pronounce the letters and they are corrected by him. He teaches them about the specific sounds and expressions in their recitation. Each one is repeatedly corrected and made to recite to him after he recites.

I am shocked to hear this as I understand from my little knowledge that this is haraam. This Qari Saheb may be taking joy from this. Isn’t the voice and reading of these females alluring and seductive in doing so? They are forced as this is their job in teaching in his madressah.

Should the voice of a female not be concealed. These Apa’s are also in hijaab. How can their husbands allow this? Can this not be done by a female who is well-versed in Quraan or a mahram be trained who can teach them? Is this permissible in Shariah even if they are not forced? Are these Apa’s allowed to do this if they are forced and fear losing their job? Is it not against the modesty of a woman to stoop so low? Some Apa’s resigned because their husbands did not allow it. Kindly advise on the shariah ruling so that this Qari Saheb can realize his wrongs and make taubah. Jazakallah khaira” (End of the Brother’s letter)

COMMENT

This miserable qaari comes within the scope of the Hadith: “Most of the munafiqeen of my Ummah are its qaaris.” Indeed he is a veritable shaitaanul ins (human devil).

He derives zina pleasure from his satanic teaching of the females. Most certainly it is haraam for him to teach the Apas and it is haraam for the Apas to submit to the evil teaching based on vile nafsaani desires of this faasq qaari. Husbands who condone such haraam zina teaching are scoundrels of the Dayyooth class of villains.

The idea of the Apas being forced is baseless. Losing a job is not ‘force’ which renders a haraam act permissible. The Apas who submit to the zina-nafsaani-shaitaani ta’leem of the faasiq are complicit with the qaari in his perpetration of his haraam teaching.

In teaching qiraa’t to the Apas, the acts of zina as mentioned in the Hadith are committed. This evil faasiq qaari is bereft of even an iota of khauf for Allah Ta’ala. He manipulates the Qur’aan Majeed for his nafsaani gratification. It is Waajib for females to conceal even their voices from ghair mahram males. Their reciting with alluring tones aggravates the sin. The whole scenario is a stepping stone to zina. The Qur’aan Majeed commands: “Do not venture near to zina.”

Fussaaq and Fujjaar molvis, sheikhs and qaaris are today the greatest fitnah for the Muslim community. In the name of the Deen they corrupt the Imaan and ruin the Akhlaaq of Muslims. This evil qaari also comes within the purview of the Hadith which mentions among the signs of Qiyaamah:

 “The dunya will be pursued with the amal of the Qur’aan.”

The recitation of the Qur’aan Majeed is an amal of the Aakhirat. But this miscreant qaari is using it for nafsaani gratification – to gratify his carnal lust.

Thus he is among the signs of Qiyaamah, promoting baatil and moral corruption under guise of the Qur’aan Majeed.
