Can you give us
Can you give us some general advice for
people seeking knowledge? How do we do
how do we make our memorization
better and our
intention better?
Good. That's
a very good question.
2 things that really really helped me.
Me personally,
I found
memorizing Quran very, very difficult.
Wullahi, without any exaggeration.
Before I went to the Maja, I went
to another place called Darul Mustapha.
It's more like a sufiqam, I was there
for a year.
I would be the first one to go
into the Masjid, the last one to come
out to sit for 20 hours. I will
sit down for 20 hours reading 1 page.
I will go to the teacher and it's
as if I never read anything.
The teacher, like, he thinking to himself, I
just seen this guy sit for 10 hours.
I walk into the Masjid, I come out,
he's still there.
And now it is if the guy hasn't
read anything.
Wallahi brothers, one page.
I will sit for that long
because he was very intensive at the time
And it's as if
I I could just could not memorize.
Very, very hard for me.
One thing, brothers and sisters, I I I,
you know, if I could, like, pour into
someone to make them understand the weight of
this
and what a big effect you can have
on a person's life.
A dua.
Sometimes you say, yeah, Inaam, yeah. Yeah. Allah
can't give that but
halfheartedly.
We make dua sometimes halfheartedly.
The prophet said to us, Allah is shy
and he's generous.
The guy that puts his hands up to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Allah will send it
back into handed.
Anything that you need, whether it might be,
whether it is hib,
whether it is money, whether it is a
wife with this characteristic.
You want her to be a cook, you
want her to be beautiful, you want her
to be this. Ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Nothing is hard
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Anything you need,
any place, anytime.
There's a hashtag going around any place, anytime.
Anything that you need, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
says,
The giving of your loan is not restricted.
And it's only
if Allah
wants something, he says be and it becomes.
Me, Walaib, Robin, I'm just telling you from
my own self.
A lot of problems I've had in my
life.
Sometimes you find where does the guy go
run to as soon as something happens.
He loses his job, the first place he
runs to is what? The job seeker's allowance.
He becomes ill, people are lining up at
the NHS
or the GP. I'm not saying don't go
there. There's nothing wrong with it.
Why can we not go to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala
first and foremost put your hands up to
Allah and ask him and he's telling I'm
gonna give it to you.
Who's gonna make Dua to me so I
can give it to him? Who's gonna ask
me so I can give it to him?
Who's gonna make Dua to me so I
can reply back to him?
Do we have that in our lives?
Constantly going back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
Whatever we might need, whether it's problematic.
Zakariya alaihis salatu wa sallam
for years he didn't have a child
and he became old.
And also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
his wife, Kunahab,
she reached the stage.
He went and made dua Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala at an old age.
Allah
anything you need, brothers and sisters, make it
a habit that we constantly go back to
Allah and ask him.
The second thing,
Wa Akhima bihaala
and I'll conclude that you see the
just one of my things
Whatever little Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala teaches you,
even if it is something small,
whatever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives to you
bad him. Hasten
to thanking Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Why? Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
Thank me and I'm gonna give you more.
If you're struggling, you memorize one eye today.
Don't say, Akhi, why is Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala? And
my friend is,
Don't look at those who are higher than
you. Look at those who are below you.
There's people that the Quran is just not
entering.
Everything he teaches you, whatever money he gives
you. Thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The promise of Allah, he doesn't fail in
his promise, and he will increase for you.
