5-Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

eading Qur’ân al-kerîm are disbelievers, their torment is
lessened.” A tradition (conveyed by savants) declares, “The
number of the grades in Paradise is the same as the number of
the âyats (verses) in Qur’ân al-kerîm. A person who does a
khatm of Qur’ân al-kerîm will attain to all those grades.” A
hadîth-i sherîf, which exists in Kunûz-ud deqâiq and which is
transmitted by Tabarânî and Ibn Hibbân, declares, “The prayer
of a person who does a khatm of Qur’ân al-kerîm is
acceptable.” It is written in Kitâb-ut tibyân, “Rahma (Allah’s
mercy and compassion) rains on a place where the khatm of
Qur’ân al-kerîm is performed. It is mustahab to say prayers after
a khatm. It is mustahab to assemble when doing khatm of
Qur’ân al-kerîm. Hadrat Abdullah ibn Abbâs would have one of
his men keep company with the person doing a khatm. And he
himself would join them when the khatm was finished. Hadrat
Enes bin Mâlik would gather his household together and pray
whenever he did a khatm. It is mustahab to begin another
khatm when one khatm is over. A hadîth-i sherîf declares, “The
best of worships is to begin a new khatm when one khatm
is over.” Hadîths, which exist in Hazînat-ul esrâr, declare,
“Sixty thousand angels pray for a person who does a
khatm of Qur’ân al-kerîm,” and, “A person who attends a
place where they are doing the prayer of khatm is like a
person who is present while the ghanîma is being divided
and distributed. A person who is present at the place where
they begin a khatm is like one who makes jihâd. A person
who attends both attains the thawâbs for both and thus
thwarts the Shaytân.” Sa’d ibn Ebî Waqqâs said, “If a person
reads (a passage from Qur’ân al-kerîm) for a khatm during the
day, angels pray for him till evening. If he does so at night, they
pray for him till morning.”
A hadîth-i sherîf, which exists in Kunûz-ud deqâiq and
which is transmitted by Daylamî, declares, “A person who
reads Qur’ân al-kerîm following the rules of tajwîd is given
the thawâb of a martyr.”
As it is seen, there is an additional thawâb for reading each
of its âyats. The thawâb given to a person who does a khatm of
the entire Qur’ân is much greater. Since such worships as
performing namâz, fasting, reading Qur’ân al-kerîm and doing
dhikr are done only with the body, everyone has to do them
himself. It is not permissible to appoint a deputy and have him
