Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Becoming Hafiz – Which Type are You

Lots of children want to do his, they would love to be a half is of

the Quran, right?

And I'm going to tell our children that among those who are

memorizing the Quran out of every 10 people, so let's just say

there's 10 People who are memorizing the Quran, this is my

observation that out of them, one or two maximum out of 10 people

are going to be those who will learn themselves, who will wake up

themselves, who will be diligent themselves, and they won't have to

be pushed. They just have to be slightly encouraged here and

there. But they know what they have to do they want to do it,

they sit and read and learn and memorize and review and revise.

Right, and they're on it, usually only about one or two out of 10.

Then on the opposite side, you're going to have one or two who are

never going to do it because either they're just not capable,

or they're just too lacks, and lazy in everything else. There's

the six or seven in between who formed the biggest group.

That group is the one who wants to do it. It's their dream to do it.

They don't want to give up but they keep getting sidetracked.

They keep getting distracted. They'd rather play fortnight

they'd rather surf online, they'd rather go football. So if they

have to learn a lesson, they'll do it last minute job. If they have

to learn their revision, they won't learn it properly. They'll

just do it just about just do it. And then they'll get lazy. And the

teacher I've had cases where we've told the student just leave, go

and do something else. No, I don't want to leave, then learn them.

Okay, then he learns for two, three more days properly, maybe

for a week and then it's slackens out again? So the answer to this,

this is one I'm going to tell the children which group do you want

to be from?

You're wasting your time otherwise, because the longer you

take, the longer you don't have free time to do something else. So

why don't you just learn it properly, finish it off, get it

solid, then you will be laughing for the rest of your life.

Remember, when you are learning if you learn it properly now, it

becomes etched it becomes inscribed in your heart and you

will never forget it if you learn it properly. Now you have to learn

it so well that ultimately when you finish you should be able to

read the whole Quran in one setting that takes you 10 hours to

do and mashallah lots of them. The mother said that my son goes to

that's what they do there once you finish they ultimately build you

up to be able to do the entire Quran in one sitting you know with

some breaks in between but in one setting, and they only get three

or four mistakes mashallah because that's when they allow them to do

it. That's where you want to get to hurry up and do it is a lot of

reward after that. Everything will become easy afterwards. So don't

waste your time now and then waste so many years in doing that, just

get it done.

And ask Allah for assistance when you do feel lazy about it. Ask

Allah for assistance. You can then play all your life you can do

other things in your life inshallah. Jazak Allah here for

listening. May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless you. And if you're
