Abu Bakr Zoud – Why Do We Read The Quran

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

We read the Quran also for a reminder

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

because the human being, his nature is that

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

we forget.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

So we need to be reminded,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

That's why we need to read the Quran

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

over and over and over and over again

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

because we forget

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

and if you forget, you're supposed to be

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

reminded.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

I tell you something,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

today the big tech, the giant tech

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

like Apple and Samsung,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

they find the need

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

to put 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 of dollars

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

to always advertise their product.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

Wherever you go around the world, there are

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

billboards massive

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

and just an iPhone sitting there on the

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

billboard. No words, no nothing, just an iPhone.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

And a Samsung, that's all it is. Right?

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

That's the world.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

And they they, this company,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

is spending 1,000,000 of dollars. I ask why?

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

Who's gonna forget iPhone?

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

Who's gonna forget his Apple or his Samsung?

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

It's always with you. If you are at

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

home and you left the house and it's

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

not in your pocket, you'll remember in less

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

than 2 seconds

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

that your phone's not with you. So why

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

the need to put billboards?

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

You see, the thing is because human beings

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

forget.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

If Apple

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

found the need to spend 1,000,000

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

to keep it in your face to remind

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

you, imagine then the message of the Quran.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

How easily would we forget this? So

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

Allah said,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:25

Remind.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

Remind for verily the reminder benefits the believers.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

So we read the Quran to remember. I

00:01:32 --> 00:01:32

tell you something,

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

Allah

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

for example, He says in the Quran,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

Every word you utter,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:43

there is

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

There is an angel that is recording and

00:01:47 --> 00:01:47

writing.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

Every word you say, and every comment you

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

comment, there is an angel that is writing.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

The one who read this ayah today

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

or a week ago

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

will be careful when he talks and comments

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

as oppose to someone who read this ayah

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

1 year ago.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

Because it's fresh in his mind. He's reminded

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

himself so he'll hold himself back in control

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

and watch his tongue.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

But someone who read this ayatulhaman

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

had that he's forgotten the reality. He's forgotten.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

Even those who have memorized the Quran

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

are supposed to be reviewing the Quran to

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

remember the message of Allah.
