00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			What
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			encouragement would you give to children
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			so that that sorry, to the parents so
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			that the children can do memorizing the Quran?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			Interesting.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			I I just,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			attended a
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			Quran completion program, I think it was last
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			week, in,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			one of the areas in
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			West London, and what you understand is that
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			the maturity of any Muslim community in any
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			area is understood through
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			things
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			like a Quran completion of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			a program of Quran completion. It just shows
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			that they've got a concern.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			They've consolidated their concern, and they've focused on
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			preparing hufas.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			Now the one thing I wanna mention is
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			that
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			when your children have hivs,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			there is
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			the benefit that if you have a hafiz,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			the hafiz can take
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			about 10 people to Hajj with him.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			Not Hajj, sorry. I mean, he can take
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			10 people to Hajj with him if he
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			wants to. He can take 10 people to
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:03
			paradise.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			He can intercede for 10 people, and I'm
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			assuming that he's going to intercede for the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			parents.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			The parents are given a special crown to
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			wear. Now, this is all the incentives. Right?
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			However,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			another incentive that we've discovered, alhamdulillah, it's happening
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			in many places. It's happening in many places
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			in London, in fact. I would say that
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			Haqqani has at least a 1000 huffas.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			The borough of Hackney. The borough of Newham
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			probably has over a 1000 huffas.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			Tower Hamlets probably has over a 1000 huffas.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			I don't know what this bar is called.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			I don't know how many huffas you have
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			here. Right? But you make an effort, it'll
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			happen. There are families that I know where
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			every single
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			kid in that whole generation is half is
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			of the Quran.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			You know, like a family of 5 or
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			6 brothers and sisters and their children,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			so everybody is half is in that Quran,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			including the girls,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			including the women, and you know what? On
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			top of that, they're also top at university.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			When you make your children a half is
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			of the Quran, they're exercising their brain, they're
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			exercising their mind and brain. It can only
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			benefit them.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			I've seen many huffals of the Quran straight
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			a's in GCSE.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			Right? Straight a's in GCSE. So don't think
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			that you're stunting their growth. Now I know
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			in some cultures,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			you know, 50, 100 years ago, and even
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			as recent as 10, 20 years ago, it
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			was one track or the other track. You
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			either could do this or you do that.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			That's a very, very shortsightedness.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			In England, especially in England,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			has actually shown the way of being able
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			to do both,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			get the best of both worlds.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			But for that, you need some infrastructure.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			You need a place.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			SubhanAllah, in some areas in East London, for
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			example,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			there are multiple people outside of the Masjid.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Masjid has HIFS program, but there are multiple
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			other people within homes and other places that
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			are running HIFS courses because there's just such
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			a demand.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			Once you start it off with your children,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			inshallah, it'll just proliferate.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			Right? Now you might say, I've never had
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			a Hafiz in my family. Fine. You start
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			it off, and then inshallah, in your generations,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			it will be hufas.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			I would say, at least start with 1
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			child, if not all of them. My my
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			perspective is that I I think we have
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			an ability, it's very, our children are smart,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			Every child can be a harvist and then
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			they can do I know families that all
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			the children are harvist, they also have degrees
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			in whatever else they do, business people or
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			whatever, and everybody's a harvist as well. So
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			it's not something that's gonna deprive you. It's
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			something that's gonna enhance you, inshallah.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			JazakAllah here for listening. May Allah,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			bless you. And if you're finding this useful,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			you know,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			as they say, do that like button and
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			subscribe button and forward it on to others.
