What is the interpretation of a person sweating upon hearing the Holy Quran from the radio or a cassette tape?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sweating upon hearing the Quran can be due to the awe of Allah, in accordance with His saying, the Most High: "The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver therefrom; then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allah." Asma bint Abi Bakr described the state of the Companions when they heard the Quran as having tears in their eyes and their skins shivering. However, if the sweating occurs without the influence of the Quran, it could be due to satanic touch or a psychological illness. In this case, it is recommended to persevere in listening and remembrance of Allah.
