Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Why You Should Make Your Children Hafiz

What

encouragement would you give to children

so that that sorry, to the parents so

that the children can do memorizing the Quran?

Interesting.

I I just,

attended a

Quran completion program, I think it was last

week, in,

one of the areas in

West London, and what you understand is that

the maturity of any Muslim community in any

area is understood through

things

like a Quran completion of

a program of Quran completion. It just shows

that they've got a concern.

They've consolidated their concern, and they've focused on

preparing hufas.

Now the one thing I wanna mention is

that

when your children have hivs,

there is

the benefit that if you have a hafiz,

the hafiz can take

about 10 people to Hajj with him.

Not Hajj, sorry. I mean, he can take

10 people to Hajj with him if he

wants to. He can take 10 people to

paradise.

He can intercede for 10 people, and I'm

assuming that he's going to intercede for the

parents.

The parents are given a special crown to

wear. Now, this is all the incentives. Right?

However,

another incentive that we've discovered, alhamdulillah, it's happening

in many places. It's happening in many places

in London, in fact. I would say that

Haqqani has at least a 1000 huffas.

The borough of Hackney. The borough of Newham

probably has over a 1000 huffas.

Tower Hamlets probably has over a 1000 huffas.

I don't know what this bar is called.

I don't know how many huffas you have

here. Right? But you make an effort, it'll

happen. There are families that I know where

every single

kid in that whole generation is half is

of the Quran.

You know, like a family of 5 or

6 brothers and sisters and their children,

so everybody is half is in that Quran,

including the girls,

including the women, and you know what? On

top of that, they're also top at university.

When you make your children a half is

of the Quran, they're exercising their brain, they're

exercising their mind and brain. It can only

benefit them.

I've seen many huffals of the Quran straight

a's in GCSE.

Right? Straight a's in GCSE. So don't think

that you're stunting their growth. Now I know

in some cultures,

you know, 50, 100 years ago, and even

as recent as 10, 20 years ago, it

was one track or the other track. You

either could do this or you do that.

That's a very, very shortsightedness.

In England, especially in England,

has actually shown the way of being able

to do both,

get the best of both worlds.

But for that, you need some infrastructure.

You need a place.

SubhanAllah, in some areas in East London, for

example,

there are multiple people outside of the Masjid.

Masjid has HIFS program, but there are multiple

other people within homes and other places that

are running HIFS courses because there's just such

a demand.

Once you start it off with your children,

inshallah, it'll just proliferate.

Right? Now you might say, I've never had

a Hafiz in my family. Fine. You start

it off, and then inshallah, in your generations,

it will be hufas.

I would say, at least start with 1

child, if not all of them. My my

perspective is that I I think we have

an ability, it's very, our children are smart,

Every child can be a harvist and then

they can do I know families that all

the children are harvist, they also have degrees

in whatever else they do, business people or

whatever, and everybody's a harvist as well. So

it's not something that's gonna deprive you. It's

something that's gonna enhance you, inshallah.

JazakAllah here for listening. May Allah,

bless you. And if you're finding this useful,

you know,

as they say, do that like button and

subscribe button and forward it on to others.
