The other thing the prophets Allah Allah is and this is a Hadith by
Imam Bay having a Shabbat Eman Prophet sallallahu sallam said,
the hearts become rusty, rusted just like iron does. If you don't
look after if you leave it in the wrong place,
the Sahaba said O Messenger of Allah, how do you punish the
hearts them by reciting the Quran. That's how the huts keep getting
polished.
The Rila Hamden cathedral the uban Mubarak and fie Mubarak and Ali,
Kemal your headboard, buena aorta Jalla Jalla, who am and the word
was Salatu was Salam or Allah say you didn't have evil Mustafa
SallAllahu Taala are they who are either early or sahih or Baraka
was seldom at the Sleeman kefir on Eli Yomi Dean a mother and Earth
man Radi Allahu Anhu
narrates that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said the best of
you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it.
This is beautiful. This is a Hadith of Bokhari that Imam that
authority when I found out the Allah and relates Protestantism
sent the best of you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches
it.
So you study it, then you teach it so that means your whole life is
spent doing that, masha Allah, some of our children, we teach
them the Quran from the age of three, four years old. They learn
in the Quran, they will learn how to read it first, then learn to
memorize it, then learn Cara, you know, to upgrade their reading
even better, then they go and learn Arabic, right? That's all
learning the Quran because when you learn Arabic, you're learning
to understand the Quran, then you're learning the Tafseer of it,
then you learn in the Bulava of it. Then you're learning the
Quran, maybe. And then after that you're teaching it and maybe
you're studying and teaching at the same time. And in sha Allah
you can be teaching until you die. And that means that you have lived
in this world for the majority of your life as the best person. The
best of you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it
may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to so even if you're an adult now
and the childhood years are gone, that doesn't mean that we cannot
learn the Quran or more of the Quran. Now look at this.
Sophia and authority was once asked Rahim Allah if he preferred
to someone to fight in the battle or to recite the Quran.
He said he preferred them to recite the Quran because the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the best of you are
the ones who learn the Quran and teaches it. Now of course this in
particular situation sometimes fighting and fighting in the path
of Allah becomes necessary or superior because of the particular
situation.
Imam Abu Abdurrahman a salami I mentioned him earlier.
He remained in the masjid of Kufa. He was in Coover, he remained in
the masjid of Kufa for 40 years to teach the Quran because of this
hadith. He was so inspired by this hadith, that he remained in the
masjid in Kufa teaching Quran for 40 years. And you know, this is
not unique. We have so many people today even in England who have
been teaching Quran for over 40 years. They've been teaching since
the 80s. And they're still teaching Quran and they have made
so many of love. They have helped so many people read the Quran and
memorize the Quran.
Now if we cannot become a teacher, let's become a student of the
Quran and be and be qualified for that even as we die. So in sha
Allah the benefit is that even if you want to we go to somebody or
every now and then go to somebody and you consider yourself in the
sight of Allah as a student of the Quran. Even if you're struggling,
then inshallah we die like that at least we're a student of the Quran
at least we're learning the Quran and if you've already know the
Quran, try to help somebody
and keep helping somebody because this is what's going to give us
benefit in the hereafter.
Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu reports that the messenger of
allah sallallahu sallam said, teach the Quran to people and
learn it. Why? For if you die in such a state that angels will
visit your grave
just as they visit elbaite will attic. What is albedo attic albedo
attic in literally means the ancient house means the Kaaba, you
know, like the angels that go and do tawaf of the Kaaba all the
time. They will visit your grave like this to pray for you if you
die teaching the Quran and learning it. That's a huge reward.
That's a huge reward. Imam core to the states that the scholars have
said that teaching the Quran
can also be teaching people the best of deed why not? Why is it
the best of deeds is because it helps people in their religion. If
you teach more people the Quran they will be better believers and
better human beings. You'll have a better world. A lot of people
misuse the Quran misunderstand the Quran and they do crazy things.
And that's why a lot of our problems happen.
Ignore adversity. Allahu anhu, underrated
Now look at this. He said the prophets of Allah Islam said
anybody who does not have any Quran inside of him
is like
a dilapidated house, a desolate house, a broken down house because
you've got no Quran inside. The actual word is Joseph Murphy JioFi
he there's nothing in his job which could be in huts, but he's
got no Quran in his heart. So always, as Ramadan comes, don't
just recite and reflect, but also try to memorize something new. And
it's very easy to do that. All you have to do is that you get 10
rewards for every letter, right? So now, if you're gonna read a
whole Jews, that's fine, you will get reward for that. But what you
can do instead is if you just, for example, Surah Tolkien, you don't
know sort of
the Oracle Arabia, the hill, mule Cooper, who are either coalition
in Kaddi, read that 50 times. You're still going to get the
reward 1010 1010 10 Even though you're insane verse, but the
benefit is that you will memorize that. If you read something 50
times you'll definitely memorize it inshallah. You read the next
verse 50 times, and the next verse and they read all of them together
2040 50 times, and eventually, you'll memorize it.
So, do a bit of this in Ramadan. The benefit of this is you can
then use this in tahajjud instead of just Kulu Kulu Allahu Ahad
and kalaburagi regatta you know more when you're riding driving
your car when you're commuting and you can't open them yourself you
can recite this and we in the hereafter get additional place in
sha Allah.
Okay, the other thing the prophets Allah Allah is and this is a
Hadith by Imam by having a Shabbat Eman Prophet sallallahu sallam
said, the hearts become rusty, rusted, just like iron does. If
you don't look after if you leave it in the wrong place.
The Sahaba said O Messenger of Allah, how do you punish the
hearts them by reciting the Quran? That's how the hearts keep getting
polished.
I will say the holier the Allahu Anhu said
that Allah Most High says this is a beautiful hadith is a Hadith of
Cozzi. Allah says whoever is too busy reciting the Quran to make
the archenemy is just so busy reciting reciting reciting that he
has no time to make dua to me, Oh Allah give me this give me that
give me this give me that he has no time for that. I will give him
better than what I give to those who ask.
That needs a big Tawakkol that you know what I'm just gonna read
Quran Allah knows what's best for me. So he's just going to give it
to me. So I'm just going to focus on the Quran I'm not even going to
make dua
Subhan Allah. Another version of the Hadith says that the
superiority of the speech of Allah over all other speeches like the
superiority of Allah over his creation, because you're reading
the most superior speech,
Imam quote to be said that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is
informing us that whoever is too busy reciting the Quran to even
make dua and supplication, Allah will give him the best of what any
of his creation will ask you. So in your area around the world,
whoever's made the best doors, you're gonna get all of this. If
you want the best doors for you, and you don't know how to even
make them read Quran just keep reading Quran so much so much that
you don't even have time for the while. Imam top Ronnie really
relates from Kab Allah Akbar, whoever performs one of three
deeds will enter paradise. He mentioned the three
and the one that's relevant to us I'm going to mention that is the a
man who sits with a group of people. he recites the Quran to
them, and then they praise the Lord Most High.
And then he they supplicate to Allah thereafter.
Allah asked the angels, why have these people gathered?
Obviously he knows better than them why they've gathered but he
wants them to just be a witness and say it the replay Lord
universe, He says I know best but tell me what you know.
They said they are asking you to admit them into paradise and to
avert them from the hellfire. So then he says I make you witness
that I have decreed paradise for them and averted them from the
hellfire. So this was then there's another person who speaks about
but I'm just going to mention this one. Abdullah Masuda the Allahu
Anhu and writes that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, recite the
Quran for indeed Allah Most it does not punish a heart in which
has the Quran memorized. So in sha Allah if you memorize the Quran,
at least parts of it, at least I know five sewers. I know yeah seen
it's still a Quran you can argue like that in the hereafter
inshallah.
You won't get a punishment. Then he said this Quran is the banquet
of Allah, the banquet of Allah. What does that mean?
banquet means, you know when somebody called somebody for him
Wait somebody and says this is all you usually very welcoming and
honoring. So the Quran is like that anybody who comes and takes
from the Quran because it's a banquet, your Allah's guest and
that Allah is hospitality.
Then he said whoever enters it is safe meaning whoever starts
reciting the Quran is safe and whoever loves the Quran should
rejoice.
In Mantovani if not Ambassador Jana has a narration probably
Salah isn't that notable people of my OMA the special people I am are
the carriers of the Quran and the people of the night.
What does that mean? So the people of the night refers to those who
are awake before dawn to hedge your time in remembrance and
devotion and Masha Allah Allah has given us his month of Ramadan, we
usually wake up the Sahara, don't let this Ramadan pass.
Don't let a day pass without you doing the Hajj with at least two
other gods. So have you meal your soul anytime and then have two
records of the Hajj at least minimum and dua to Allah and
inshallah if we can do this for the next 2930 days. hamdulillah
Abdullah Muhammad Ali Allah just a few generations and we finished
Abdullah Amara, the narrator promises and fasting and the Quran
fasting and the Quran, both will intercede for the slave fasting
will say I prevented him from food and indulging in his desires
during the day. So accept my intercession for him. And the
Quran will say, I prevented him from sleeping during the night. So
except my intercession for him, and they will be accepted. But
that's if we read in the Quran at night. Then the Quran has stopped
us from sleeping right? If we recited at night we stand and read
the Quran at night may Allah subhanho wa Taala make us of these
people. May Allah make us of these people.
Abu Musa shaido The honorees are probably so on set it is from the
veneration of Allah Most High to honor a gray haired Muslim,
somebody who's become old and gray head, Allah will honor that person
because he's old. The and also it is from the veneration of Allah
that He will honor the carrier of the Quran, who is neither
excessive nor negligent during and the third person is the gesture
Allah that Allah will honor these people Imam Abu Dawood reports
report this hadith
Abuja, the Allahu underwrites that the Prophet saw some said, it is
better for you to set out in the morning and learn a verse from the
book of Allah than to pray 100 units of prayer in no matter.
Learning an extra verse with its meaning a spiritual 100 records
because 100 records you'll get reward. But in here you get the
reward by which you'll pray eventually anyway and you're also
learning something new and it's often in your heart.
Now,
more other Johanne generates these are Hadith that you may have heard
about. The Prophet Allah some said the parents of the one who
memorizes the Quran and acts upon it, the parents because they've
encouraged the child to do this. Right.
They get reward as well.
They will be crowned on the day of resurrection with a crown that
gives more light than the Sun does to the houses of this world. What
then do you suppose will be the reward of the one who actually
memorizes the Quran and acts upon it? If that's the reward of the
parent then imagine the reward of the student you have is
finished when how many supporters have eaten mashallah, you've done
11
Masha, we have many of us hamdulillah Allah has blessed us
with this, this is the reward.
And you know, the Allah narrates that the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said, Whoever reads the Quran, memorize it and complies with it.
What is permissible and prohibited Allah will place him into paradise
and allow him to intercede for 10 of his family members who are
otherwise destined for the fire. So you will get Shiva, Shiva as
well.
May Allah subhanaw taala grant us this Sophia, may Allah subhanho wa
Taala accept it from us. And may Allah subhanaw taala make us true
reciters reflectors and those who practice the Quran, Allah Who

The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate which you take 20 Short modules and at the
end of that insha Allah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you will feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well as local law here and Salam
aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
