🎙️ BeQuranic | Tajweed Tuesday – The People of the Left (Ashab al-Shimal)

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, and welcome back to BeQuranic.

It’s week 4, and today is Tuesday – which means it’s time for Tajweed Tuesday! We’re continuing with our journey through Surah al-Waqi‘ah this term, and today we’re reading Ayat 41 to 56, which focus on the third category of people mentioned in this Surah: Ashab al-Shimal — the people of the left.

Just a quick reminder before we dive into the ayat:

We’re now in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah — the best ten days of the year. So let’s increase our acts of worship, reduce our distractions, and make the most of this window of opportunity.

That means:

* More Qur’an reading

* More dhikr

* More salah

* And if you’re able, more fasting

Especially on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah — Yawm ‘Arafah.

Fasting on this day wipes away the sins of the previous year and the coming year — two years of forgiveness for just one day of fasting.

And if you’re not fasting — for example, if you’re unable due to health or it’s that time of the month — you can still earn reward by feeding others who are fasting. Even something simple like a date or a glass of water counts, and Rasulullah ﷺ promised that the reward of feeding a fasting person is equal to the fast itself, without diminishing the reward of the one who fasted.

Alright — now let’s recite Ayat 41 to 56 together.

And remember, when you’re reading:

* Smooth out each verse.

* Focus on one ayah at a time.

* Don’t rush — the goal is quality, not speed.

* Once you’re comfortable, link the ayahs together and keep the fluency going.

Pro tip: Every time you revise, start from the beginning — ayah by ayah — so it all flows naturally by the end of the week.

Alright — that’s all for today’s Tajweed Tuesday. I’ll see you again on Thursday for Tafsir Thursday, where we explore the lessons behind these ayat — what they tell us, how they challenge us, and how we can live them.

Until then, keep practising — and may Allah bless your Qur’an journey.

Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
