What is the meaning of “Sadaqa Allahu ‘l-Azeem”, and why does it have to be said eac

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf Mangera

What is the meaning of “Sadaqa Allahu ‘l-Azeem”, and why does it have to be said each time at the end of reading the Qur’an?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaykum

In the name of Allah the Inspirer of truth

Sadaqa Allahu ‘l-Azim translates as “Allah Most Mighty has told the truth” and it is normally said after the recitation of the Qur’an in order to verbally verify what one has read to be the truth from Allah Most High.

However, it cannot be considered an etiquette or necessary to say it at all after one’s recitation since the belief of it is in one’s heart. Likewise, if one wants to say it, it cannot be not considered a bid’a either unless maybe if someone thinks of it to be necessary.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalam

Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf
