What is the interpretation of frequent yawning while reciting the Quran in the morning, given that this does not occur at the same time without recitation, and is this considered a trial despite Allah's dislike of yawning?
Yawning is not a sin for which a person is punished, as he has no control over it. However, it should be resisted as much as possible. If it cannot be resisted, it is recommended to place one's hand over the mouth and avoid making a sound. It is mentioned in the that Allah loves sneezing and dislikes yawning, because it is from Satan. Scholars have explained that yawning is attributed to Satan because he loves to see a person in this state, or because it inclines one towards desires and bodily sluggishness, and results from overeating. The remedy for yawning is to reduce its causes, and one should be keen on wholesome food, trust in Allah, and persistently recite (remembrance of Allah) and seek refuge (with Allah).
