Abu Taymiyyah – Why The Quraan

Why the Quran guys?

He asked him which

is more beloved to you that I start

with? Do I teach my son the Quran

or the hadith?

He says,

teach him the Quran

first.

Do I teach him all of it? He

said,

except if it becomes difficult.

You teach him some of it.

Okay?

He said,

Upon this, you find that the followers of

Imam Muhammad they

treaded this path.

They treaded this path until this very day.

And also in the Tarjama

of Ibn Abihaat,

Imam al Zabi mentions this in Kitafsira,

He says that his father

My father didn't allow me to busy myself

with hadith,

until I read the whole Quran on fatherly

Ibn Shaddan and Razi.

That's when I started writing

down

the Quran,

the Hadith.

Also Muhammad ibn father,

Rahimullah Ta'ala says,

my grandfather

I sought permission from my father

in order

to go and seek knowledge with Khutaybah.

He said, Read the Quran first until I

give you permission.

So he said I memorized the Quran

So when he was done memorizing the Quran,

he told him you can't leave until you

read.

Some of the scholars they say you know

a true habit of the Quran until you

are able to lead Taraweeh.

That shows your strength in the Quran.

And that you're a real hafel.

He said,

When 8 finished,

he allowed me to go.

Also something very very funny is, Waleed al

Muslim

said,

Every time we sat with Uzzai,

a great tabi'i, and he saw that there

was a young person with us.

Okay?

He said, Oh son,

have you memorized the Quran?

If he said to him yes, he would

tell him to read, you'll see

Who can tell him about his ayah? It's

one of the most difficult ayah in the

Quran.

2nd page of Surah Al Nisa.

Which talks about inheritance.

He put him on the spot and tell

him to read it. How you read?

Okay?

If he said, I didn't memorize the Quran.

He would say it in the Quran and

then start seeking knowledge.
