Which is better, reading Qur’aan together or individually?

What is the manner in which Jibreel review the Qur’aan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in Ramadaan? Does that indicate that it is better to study the Qur’aan together rather than individually? Is it better to do that at night rather than during the day? We hope you can explain.

Praise be to Allaah.  

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

Firstly: 

With regard to how he reviewed it with him, I do not know how that was done. 

Secondly: 

With regard to whether it is mustahabb for people to gather to read Qur’aan together or for each person to read it individually, that depends on the person himself. If gathering with his brothers to study Qur’aan together will make him more focused and help him to learn better, then gathering with others is preferable, i.e., if gathering with others will make him have proper presence of mind and be more focused on pondering the meanings of the Qur’aan, and allow the opportunity to discuss the meanings, then that is better. But if it is the opposite then reading it on his own is better. 

Thirdly: 

With regard to Jibreel reviewing the Qur’aan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), that was for the purpose of making sure that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) memorized it.  

With regard to the third part of your question – which is whether it is better to do that at night rather than during the day – the answer is yes, but a person may need to do other things which means that he cannot study Qur’aan at night, in which case he should study it more during the day. 

So each person should look at what is best for him, because of the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Strive to do that which will benefit you.” So whatever is more beneficial for you, so long as it is not forbidden according to sharee’ah, is best. 

Its the responsibility of every Moslem in learning quran and read tajweed and we also must teach our kids Quran and not only the Quran teaching we should let then begin to see the basic of Islam and why it was reviled you bet it was railed and truth teaching of holy Quran and with tajweed quran we read Quran we can understand better all the responses that are involved if we study koran from a qualified Quran tutor he will let you know verity heart of Islam and why koran was reviled for it we should gain the information of the Word of God with there translation and the context of when those verses were reviled and why and that is only potential when we carry on with not simply learning quran for beginners but gaining the information of Quran tafseer and one inquiry that we all needs to ask our self that why we all are here in the world to do good acts or to do bad humen action to promote correct or to promote incorrect and will we be answerable to any one after this life of not then the interrogation remains the identical that the reasons why we are here in the world but if yes then whom we have to reply is there any Maker All these reply exist when we go deep in to the Quran education do Quran reading and the so let us connect hands to full fill our job.
