Q
What challenges did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) face in Mecca regarding the recitation of the Qur’an?
A
(regarding the Verse):– ‘Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.’ (17.110) This Verse
was revealed while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he raised his voice while
reciting the Qur’an, the pagans would hear him and abuse the Qur’an and its Revealer and to the one
who brought it. So Allah said:–
‘Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.’ (17.110) That is, ‘Do not say your prayer so
loudly that the pagans can hear you, nor say it in such a low tone that your companions do not hear
you.’ But seek a middle course between those (extremes), i.e., let your companions hear, but do not
relate the Qur’an loudly, so that they may learn it from you.
