Abdullah bin Umar relates: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: ‘He who recites the [entire] Quran in less than three days has not under- stood what he has read’ ( Sunan at-Tirmadhī, Abwābul- Qirā’āt, Bāb fī kam Aqra’ul-Qur’ān Hadith 2949). Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II ra had spoken to this point when someone inquired whether the Quran should be recited on Fridays as well, and if it should be recited on Fridays, why is there no dars on Fridays (In Qadian there is no dars conducted on Fridays). Concerning this H u du r ra said, ‘The Holy Quran should be recited on Fridays as well, but there is no dars because it is also a form of education and since Friday is established as somewhat of a holiday for Muslims, educational activities are not performed on Friday. Secondly, another act of worship has been added for this day and that is the Friday sermon and that takes the place of the dars. ’ 11 ِ ح ُ هللا َ فِي ْ دُبُر ِّ َخِيْب ُ قَائِلُهُن َّ تُسَب ی َّ بَات ٌ ل ِّ هللا ُ عَلَيْه ِ وَسَلَّم َ قَال َ مُعَق ی َّ صَل ِّ عَن ِ النَّبِي رُه ُ اَرْبَعًا وَّثَلَثِيْنَ. ِّ َب ک ُ صَلَة ٍ ثَلَثًا وَّثَلَثِين َ وَتَحْمَدُه ُ ثَلَثًا وَّثَلَثِيْن َ وَت ِّ كُل The Holy Prophet s as said: There are certain prayers right after every prescribed Prayer that will protect the reciter from disap- pointment: ‘Holy is Allah’ thirty-three times, ‘Praise be to Allah’ thirty-three times, and ‘Allah is most Great’ thir- ty-four times ( Sunan at-Tirmidh ī , Abwābud-Da‘wāt, Bāb mā jā’ fit-Tasbī h i wat-Takbīri wat-Ta h m i di ‘Indal-Manām; Hadith 3412).
