I would recite a verse in prayer and then after that I would say what
the verse means in English(to understand), is this permissible?
(sometimes I say it in my heart.) For example, I would recite the
first verse of Surah Fatiha, then after this I would say: "All praise
is due to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds."Is this
right, or permissible?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with it if you recite a verse of the Qur'aan
during your prayer and ponder its meaning in your own language, andsay
that to yourself as you mentioned in the example. This comes under the
heading of pondering and thinking of the meaning. That is on condition
that you donot utter it out loud, because the one who is praying is
forbidden to speak during the prayer,based on the report narrated by
Muslim (537)from Mu'aawiyah ibn al-Hakam al-Sulmi who said: Whilst I
was praying with the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him), a man among the people sneezed and I said: Yarhamuk
Allaah (may Allah have mercy on you). The people glared at me and I
said: May my mother be bereft of me! Why are you staring at me? They
started striking their hands on their thighs, and when I realized that
they were telling me to be quiet, (I felt angry) but I kept quiet.
When the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) had prayed – may my father and mother be sacrificedfor him; by
Allaah I have never seen a better teacher or better teachings before
or since; he did not rebuke me, hit me or revile me –he said: "This
prayer is not the right place for any of the people's speech, rather
it is tasbeeh, takbeer and recitation of Qur'aan," orwords to that
effect.
And because it is not permissible to recite Qur'aan in any language
other than Arabic. See the answer to question no. 3471 .
It is permissible in naafil prayers to hold a Mus-haf with a tafseer
inthe margins or footnotes, and to look atthe meaning of what you do
not understand.
