Q 3: What is the ruling on
saying: “Sadaqa Allah-ul-Azhim (Allah, the Most Great, has spoken the Truth)” upon finishing recitation of the Qur’an?
A:
In themselves these words, when said, are true. However, mentioning them constantly upon finishing reciting the Qur’an is an act of Bid‘ah (innovation in religion), because it did not happen during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace be upon him) or that of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, as far as we know, despite their constant recitation of the Qur’an. It is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Whoever does an action which is not in accordance with this matter of ours (Islam), will have it rejected.”

According to another narration:
“Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (Islam) that is not part of it, will have it rejected.”
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
