 و أقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكريم المنزل و أقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي و لا أتأوله أسئل أسئل أدخلت في مدينة العرب في برلين و أدخلت القرآن في مدينة العرب بعض الناس قردت لي و أسألتني أن أدخل ماذا أفعل؟ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن و الثناء الجميل و أشد أن لا إله إلا الله و احته لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل و أشد أن محمد عبده و رسوله صلى الله عليه و على آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم دين أما ذلك في مدينة your question I want to say that there are manners and etiquettes that the person should adorn himself with when reciting the Qur'an and listening to the Qur'an there are manners that should be done by a Muslim from those manners and those etiquettes are that the Qur'an is read and recited in or it's listened to in a place where it's clean and the person is in a state of humility, tranquility and also the person whether he's sitting or standing or lying down it's with خشوء سكين عن وقار الله تباركه تعالى هيمانشزين the Qur'an إن في خلق السماوات والأرض و اختلاف الليل والنهار و اختلاف الليل والنهار لآيات لأول الألباب الذين يذكرون الله قياما و قعودا و على جنوبهم و يتفكرون في خلق السماوات والأرض ربنا ما خلقت هادا باطلا سبحانك فقنا عذابا النار الله يشهد about the believers, the righteous people he mentions that when they recite the Qur'an and they remember Allah تباركه تعالى they ponder and they contemplate over what they are reading الله says إن في خلق السماوات والأرض the creating of the seven heavens and seven earths and the alternation between day and night it's signs لآيات الليل والنهار it's sign for the smart people which ones الذين يذكرون الله قياما those who remember Allah تباركه تعالى while they are standing and while they are sitting down and while they are lying down and they ponder and they contemplate over the signs of Allah سبحانه وتعالى also the second manners that a person should come with is sit in a place where you are facing the qiblah when it comes to the Qur'an the Prophet ﷺ he told us إن حديث ألمام مضطبراني narrated in his معجم الأوسط من حديث أبي هوريرا رضي الله تعالى عنه الهيث منه يلز مجمع الزوائد ومنبع الفوائد he authenticated it ألمام الصخاوي أوسع authenticated it in his المقاصد الحسنة الشق للباني رحمه الله he authenticated it in his الترغيب والترهيب in the صحيحة الترغيب والترهيب and he is السلسلة الصحيحة that the Prophet ﷺ he said إن لكل شيء إن سيدة وإن سيدة المجالسي قبالة القبلة that every single gathering every type of sitting there's a good way to do it إن لكل شيء إن سيدة everything has a a sayed and the best form of sitting is to face the qiblah so it's recommended for a person to face the qiblah when they're listening to the Qur'an the third one إن شاء الله وتعالى is the person should choose a place where it's quiet and it's calm ولذلك the Qur'an is not the speech of a human being it's the speech of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and so when the Qur'an is being recited a person should sit down and listen and be attentive of what is being recited even if he's standing up but you're listening to the Qur'an it should be in a way that you are pondering and you're contemplating you shouldn't be talking over the Qur'an الله says وإذا قري القرآن فاستمعوا له وأنصيتوا لعلكم ترحمون even though this ayah came down regarding the prayer the principle is فلعبرا تبع موم إلا فضلا بخصوص السبب we take the generalization of the wording and not the specific situation in which it came down so based on those three points I just mentioned it doesn't seem like a cafe or a restaurant meets those basic manners that are required for the Qur'an so it's best to avoid it and leave it والعلم عند الله his knowledge is with Allah وسبحانه وتعالى وآخر جعوانا أني الحمد لله رب العالمين سبحانه وتعالى والحمده فشدوا الله إله إلا الله استفروا قواته واتوب إليه if you have any questions you'd like to see answered as part of this series then you can email us at questionsatamau.org
