B ASICS OF R ELIGIOUS E DUCATION - F IFTH E DITION 40 40 40 40 40 At the end of Surah Al-Teen, when Allah asks — Is not Allah the Best of judges? (95:9) we agree and say, Yes! and I am among the witnesses to that! (Jawahirul Ihsan) Similarly, at the end of Surah An-Nasr, Glorify thy Lord, with His praise, and seek forgiveness of Him. (110:4) one should say, Holy are You, O Allah Our Lord, with all Your Praises; O Allah, protect me from sin ! (Bukhari Kitabut Tafseer) Regular recitation (e. g. daily) should be started from the first chapter and continued to the last chapter. Finishing the recitation in this way is known as a “complete cycle”. On completion of each “cycle,” you should start again from the beginning of the Holy Qur’an in the same session — and recite this prayer: O Allah, show mercy on me through the Qur’an, and make it a Director and a Light and a Guidance and a Mercy for me. O Allah, remind me of that which I forget of it; and teach me of it that which I am ignorant of; and bestow on me its recitation through the hours of the night and the day; and make it a decisive reasoning for me; O Lord of the Worlds.
