Yes, it is permissible to listen to the Quran while driving. In fact, many Muslims incorporate Quranic recitation into their daily commute as a means of spiritual nourishment and connection with Allah. Listening to the Quran while driving allows you to engage in acts of worship, even during routine activities, creating a peaceful atmosphere and reinforcing faith throughout the day.
However, it is important to balance attentiveness to both the road and the Quran. While listening to the Quran is encouraged, it’s essential to remain focused on driving and ensure safety for yourself and others on the road. The Quranic teachings emphasize mindfulness, and as long as your attention remains primarily on driving, listening to the Quran during your travels can be both beneficial and permissible.
In Surah al-A’raaf (7:204), Allah commands believers to listen attentively when the Quran is recited, which applies to both active recitation and listening. While driving, ensure that the listening does not lead to distractions or unsafe driving practices. With the right balance, listening to the Quran can transform your journey into an opportunity for spiritual reflection and connection.
