Will Playing a Recording of Surah Al Bakara Expel Satan from the House?

AsSalaamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullaah wa Barakaatuhu! Please read the following document, jazak Allaahu khairan! AsSalaamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullaah wa Barakaatuhu! Tuesday, 18 September 2007 Question: Oh Sheik there is a hadith from the Prophet peace and blessings are upon him, that mentions if a person reads Sura Al Bakara the shaitan will not enter his house; but if Sura Al Bakara is recorded on a tape (and played in the house) does it have the same effect? Answer: No, no… a recording on a tape is nothing, it will not benefit because this is not considered reading the Koran, it is called listening to the voice of a previously recorded Reciter. And in a similar fashion, if we recorded the athan of the Mu'athin and then when the time for the athan came we put the recording in front of the microphone and left it to play the athan would this suffice? And if we recorded an exciting sermon of the Khateeb and then when Jumah came we put the tape recorder with the tape in it in front of the microphone and the recording said, 'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessing' then the mu'athin called the athan and then the sermon began to play, would this suffice? It would not suffice… why? Because this is previously recorded, just like if you would have written it on paper. If you write it on paper or put a Mushaf in the house does it take the place of reading? No, it does not replace it.

And besides Allâh you have neither any Walî (protector or guardian) nor any helper. Or do you want to ask your Messenger (Muhammad ) as Mûsâ (Moses) was asked before (i.e. show us openly our Lord)? And he who changes Faith for disbelief, verily, he has gone astray from the Right Way." 2: 107-108. __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (2) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Members MARKETPLACE Mom Power: Discover the community of moms doing more for their families, for the world and for each other Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
