stuttering in islam (for educational purposes) Stuttering is islam ( قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي (25) وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي (26) وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي (27) يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي (28) ) “Qaa-la Rab-bish-raH lee sad-ree; Wa yas-sir leee ‘am-ree; WaH-lul `uq-da-tam-mil-li-saa-nee, Yaf-qa-hoo qaw-lee.” 25. He said: “O my Lord! Open for me my chest.” 26. “And ease my task for me;” 27. “And loosen the knot from my tongue,” 28. “That they understand my speech.” Surah Ta-Ha (20:25-28) Interpretation of the meaning (Tafsir Ibn Kathir): The Supplication of Musa ( Mosess) Peace be upon him: ((Musa) said: “O my Lord! Open for me my chest, and ease my task for me.”) Musa requested his Lord to expand his chest for his mission. For verily, He was commanding him with a great task and a weighty affair. He was sending him to the mightiest king on the face of the earth at that time. He was the most arrogant and severe of all people in his disbelief, and He had the largest army and the most powerful kingdom. He was the most tyrannical and the most obstinate of rulers. His case was such that he claimed not to know Allah at all, and that he knew of no god for his subjects other than himself. Along with this, Musa lived in his home for a period of time as a child. He stayed in Fir`awn’s own room and slept on his bed. Then, after this, he killed one of their people and feared that they would retaliate by killing him in return. Thus, he fled from them and remained an outlaw during this entire time. Then, after all of this, His Lord sent him to them as a warner calling them to worship Allah alone, without associating partners with Him. This is why he said, “O my Lord! Open for me my chest, and ease my task for me.” This means, “I cannot perform this task if You do not help me, aid me and support me. “And loosen the knot from my tongue, that they understand my speech.” -This is referring to the lisp that he had. This lisp was a result of an incident when he was presented a date and a hot coal stone and he placed the coal on his tongue instead of the date. A detailed explanation of this story is forthcoming in the following chapters. However, he did not ask Allah to remove this affliction all together. Rather, he asked for removal of his stammering so the people would understand what he intended in his speech. He was only asking for what was necessary to deliver his message. If he had asked for the removal of his affliction in its entirety, it would have been cured for him. However, the Prophets do not ask for any more than what is required. Therefore, he was left with the remnants of this accident that took place with his tongue.
