Abu Taymiyyah – Ep 7 Recite The Qur’an How To Soften Your Heart Series

My dear respective brothers and sisters,

welcome back to another session where we hope

to

learn how one can soften up his heart.

We are now on the

6th point.

And this point my beloved brothers and sisters

is

reciting the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

and contemplating on it.

I haven't seen anything that feeds the mind

and also nourishes the heart.

Wayahf Al Jisman also preserves

one's physical body.

Wayadman al Sa'ada,

and also guarantees him happiness.

Atfaraminidamitin

Nadarifikitabilah,

more than continuously looking

and reflecting

and contemplating

on the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Also,

Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

has not sent down a cure ever

that is more beneficial

and more greater

in removing the different diseases

that one may be suffering from, than the

Quran. Also Imran Khan says,

When

your heart

needs its thirst to be quenched,

And do not quench

the thirst of the heart

except by the Quran,

where the Stoh Hasha

And when the heart

feels alienated,

then do not

give it that which is going to remove

its alienation,

except

the remembrance of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

From an

Awe,

and whoever seeks

to be shouted by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

and then Allah Azzawajal will indeed shout to

him.

And whoever returns his affairs back to Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, then Allah Azawajal will take

care of it.

Also, my beloved brothers and sisters,

said, he tells us

in his Kitab at Tabsurah,

the Quran

has the same effects as honey.

When one consumes honey, what does that do

to a person's body?

It works as a cure, right?

This has been medically proven,

and it has also been proven

through the

tradition of the Prophet

He tells us that the Quran

cures the body,

or cures the heart should I say.

The same way the Asal, the same way

the honey

treats one's body when it's suffering from different

types of illnesses.

He says,

Reciting

1 verse with Contemplation and Reflection,

it is better

than reading the whole Quran doing a Hatha

without

Contemplation,

and also without understanding it,

and it is more beneficial for the heart.

And it has a bigger effect on an

individual's heart, his Iman.

And also him

tasting the sweetness of the Qur'an.

And then he says

reciting the Book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

with Tafakkur,

with Contemplation

is the root cause for one's heart becoming

rectified.

Ibn Utayr Ahmadullah He also says:

Says if an individual now recites the Book

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

with Tadabur,

with Contemplation,

And this, my beloved brothers and sisters, are

from the greatest of causes that prevent

this individual now from falling into sins,

Maausi.

And even if it doesn't completely remove

all of it,

when you recite

what it does,

it removes a part of it or some

of it.

He says: The keys

to bringing life to the heart

is 3 things:

contemplating on the Book of Allah and

also breaking down in front of Allah

in the

last part of the night,

and

also abstaining from sins.

And the quotes and the sayings, my beloved

brothers and sisters, are many.

We quoted a lot of that which Ibn

Uqaym Rahmatullahi mentioned, and also Imutania.

You know, my brothers and my sisters, when

you

hear the advice of an individual or acts

upon his advice,

this tends to have a bigger effect on

an individual's heart.

Ibn Hataym Rahmatullah,

you can see it from his sayings and

his speeches

and that which he has uttered,

that he really, really meant it

from the bottom of his heart because of

the effects that he's seen have on him.

Walim mutayeem Rahmatullahi

passed away,

and this was when he was in prison.

They say that he completed reading the Book

of Allah

80 times.

And then when he reached

on his 81th Khatma,

the 81th time when he wanted to complete

the Quran,

he reached the statement of Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala.

In the Malik and Muqtadir.

Indeed those who are pious, those of Taqwa.

They will be blessed with gardens

and rivers.

Fi Maqad is Sudhak in the Maliki

Muqaddadir,

and they will have

a place before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

a place of truth and sincerity.

And that's when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sees

this soul.

Allah

tells us that the

those who have come with a taqwa,

they will be

granted

gardens and also rivers in Al Jannah.

And they will also have a place that

is truth that has no sin.

And Allahu,

by Their Lord Allah Subh'anaHu

Wa Ta'la who is capable of all things

and who is mighty.

Then Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala seized his soul.

That's how Ibrahim 'Rahmatullahi

passed away.

Last thing that he uttered was these statements

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

And perhaps

because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wanted to grant

him

the highest part of Al Jannah,

and that it becomes a lesson for those

who come after it.

We at the Knowledge College have managed to

revolutionize

the way Islamic Studies is taught in the

West Alhamdulillah

You see, before the knowledge college, you'd have

to find a teacher which is a hard

enough task as it is And if you

found that teacher,

you'd have to hope that he would actually

finish the book that he was teaching

which again was not very likely

but now, Alhamdulillah, you can study and seek

knowledge from the comfort of your own home

and you're not just watching videos

that have been pre recorded but you're being

taught live where you can actually engage

with your teachers

and with your fellow students in

the communities that we've built for you guys
