			Assalamualaikum and a very warm welcome to the philosophy of fasting
		

			Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. All praise is due to Allah. All peace and
blessings be upon Muhammad the last prophet and messenger of Allah. As always, it's my ultimate
honor to welcome in the studio, Dr. Hakim al al dad. I Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah who Baraka,
thanks so much for joining us in the studio today. Because I Calaca Well, Doctor, I want to take
this time as you know, in previous episodes, we focusing upon the
		

			and we got to a certain point about saying the current is so special in Ramadan. So let's find out
now why the current is so special in Ramadan Smilla Rahmanir Rahim o salat wa salam ala Rasulillah
the Quran as we said
		

			that Allah Allah Allah mentioned in three areas that Allah Allah Allah revealed the Quran in
Ramadan. So this is more than enough to make Ramadan as the month of the Quran. And that was
explicitly mentioned in the first area that talk about the Quran and Ramadan, Sharona Madonna lady
on Zillow fee, Al Quran who deadliness you have a unit in mineral who the world for
		

			So, the month of Ramadan is a special month for the Quran. The Quran should be read more, definitely
during the month of Ramadan, we should put more attention to Quran in Ramadan. In fact, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to receive revelation throughout the holy and did you breathe the
angel Jibreel who used to come to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam every year in Ramadan, to
revise with him whatever he taught him throughout the year. And he used to tell him that this verse
has been approved this verse has been approved gate abrogated and so on. And they, as issued will be
Aloka and her said that he used to make more out of them and Mudaraba of the Quran with the Prophets
		

			Allah Allah Allah salah, they, the scholars say that you're the Gibreel the angel Jibreel used to
read and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam used to listen and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
used to read and Gibreel used to listen, this is especially in the month of Ramadan SubhanAllah. And
also she said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told her on the year he died on the year
of the Prophet SAW Selim died that Gibreel revised the Quran twice with the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and she said why he said, I believe that this is my end time. This is the end of
my time.
		

			So
		

			it is it is it is a fact that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam used to put more attention to earn
in Ramadan. And that's why I've been ambassador of the Allahu Taala Han who used to say that the
prophets Allah has him used to be a generous person, he used to be more generous than the blazing
wind. And he used to be generous in particular, or more in the month of Ramadan when he studied the
Quran with Gibreel and that's why this study of the Quran, the study of the Quran, that takes place
in Ramadan it should have an impact on the personality of the person. When once we talk about
philosophy of fasting, this is a very important element. The study of the Quran during the month of
		

			Ramadan should they change the personality? Yes of Muslims. Definitely a why? Because the Quran
touches their hearts, the Quran it changes them. The Quran teaches them and the prophets Allah Allah
Allah sent them as a result of reading the Quran with Jabril it used to be what more generous during
the month of Ramadan Of course, and see it is it is proven that
		

			At the earliest colors used to put more attention to code and during the month of Ramadan
		

			you know Imam Malik he was one of the big Imams of the four Imams. He used to leave any teaching or
teaching anything and he used to what dedicate himself for the Quran, Quran more and more. And they
mentioned you will be really amazed to hear that they mentioned that Imam Shafi Rahim Allah used to
leave everything as well during the month of Ramadan and just focus on reciting the Quran to the
level that he used to finish the Quran 60 times
		

			during the month of Ramadan, mashallah, mashallah not only this, they also mentioned that Imam Abu
Hanifa, he used to finish the Quran 60 times, he used to finish the Quran 60 times during the month
of Ramadan, which means that they used to complete to complete resuscitation of the Quran And
subhanAllah This is, by the way, see many of us especially for the non Arabic speaking people,
especially for those who do not memorize the Quran, they will say this is unbelievable.
Unbelievable, this is impossible, but those who memorize the Quran and they read the Quran fluently,
yes. And frequently as well. They will find Quran. Easy read a blessing, yes, passing very quickly.
		

			Of course, they can really finish a complete Quran or re citation of the Quran in maybe you can say,
eight hours, or something like this, because they read it very, very fluently. Yes. And quickly. I
have some questions for you. Dr. Hathaway, if you don't mind, one of the questions is, I want to ask
you very first of all, let's say in the Western world, we get many young children or even people
saying, Well, I haven't got time to read the crowd. I'm too busy, I have to go to school, I have to
go to work. I have to do this. I'm busy. Can I not just put the headphones on and listen to the
Koran. Okay, this is a very good point to see. When we mentioned about Shafi and Abu Hanifa, they
		

			receive their recite Quran this number of times, it doesn't mean we tell people leave everything and
focus on the Quran. If people can do it, that is very good. But in the West, people can't do it. So
we can't tell them, no, stop going to the school, stop going to universities, et cetera. And just
focus on the Quran because that is not possible. They will be sacked, et cetera, they are non Muslim
countries. But whenever the person can do this, that is good. And this is See this is why we said
planning for Ramadan show is really important because some people who work some people who work they
don't have any other commitments. They can't take holidays during the month of Ramadan. I'm asking
		

			all our brothers and sisters living in the West or living in other countries you plan your holiday
just to maybe travel or to relax or to do something maybe a year ahead and you don't Why don't you
take your holiday it during the month of Ramadan Allah doctor so it will be a time for you to
recharge your battery to gain more Hassan and to focus on the Quran to focus on yourself not just
materialistic life, materialistic life and so on. Of course if you can do it, then why not every
single person who works or most of the people who work they have a holiday time of course why don't
they make the holiday time a great force or and and in particular during the month of Ramadan?
		

			Definitely you know doctor what keeps coming through very strongly is you know my messages to the
viewers at home forget the dunya forget dunya book that holiday for Ramadan because it's important
that we read the Quran definitely. So moving on Doctor one of the next question is definitely for me
and the the brothers and sisters who can't read or Arabic. So how can we recite the Quran or read
the Quran? Okay, this is a good point. There's a Calaca for that. And I want to maybe embarrass you.
Yes, yes, definitely. You must learn. Yes, you must learn Quran and don't take it in a very
offensive way which is not offensive. Definitely a Muslim who does not read the Quran properly.
		

			is a bad Muslim.
		

			There is no excuse for any Muslim to say that I can't read the Quran.
		

			For me, this is it. And subhanAllah there is a statement by Imam Tilbury Imam Tabari he was, he is
the greatest professor, he you can say that he's the father of all Morpha Syrian movements he means
those who interpret and explained the meanings of the Quran, very great scholar.
		

			Anyway, they say that he wrote in his life, what Europe could you not write in the dark age or in
the Dark Ages? Only. And he said to his students, let us write the explanation of the Quran. They
said, how big that he said
		

			500 or 50,000
		

			paper or or documentary, they said that oh, this is impossible, we will die before that. Then he
summarized it. And we have his book now. Which is
		

			tafsir Al Quran.
		

			They will have the Quran we have it ready in our hands? Of course it is in Arabic. Yes. Jeremy
Albania and Peter with the Quran. He said even Jarier. He said, I am amazed and I am really
surprised to see people enjoying the Quran and they do not understand the Quran. How can people
enjoy the Quran and they do not understand it. What does that mean? It means that the one who does
not read the Quran, he is what he is disattached from Allah, Allah Allah, from the light of Allah,
Allah Allah. So how can this Muslim wanted to be a good Muslim, and he doesn't have to read the
panel. That's why my message to you and to all of our viewers, whether they are new Muslims, whether
		

			their languages Arabic, non Arabic, all of us have no excuse not to be able to read the Quran
fluently. Subhanallah and we can set a plan for people to learn Quran and to read Quran, brother
Rafi, you said that your life had changed when you started to read the Quran definitely. And you
still do not read or and very fluently. Imagine what will happen to your life. If you start reading
the Quran fluently. Definitely. And as I say to our brothers and sisters, you will never enjoy
Islam. You will never enjoy Islam, if you are not enjoying the Quran, and you will not enjoy the
Quran unless you are very close to the Quran. And you read the Quran, free freak frequently and yes,
		

			fluently. I definitely agree with you. That's all we have time for right now in this part, Doctor, I
guess we'll pick up on after that after the break and we're just going to take a quick break. Stay
tuned. Assalamualaikum welcome
		

			you
		

			Oh man.
		

			Good.
		

			You
		

			Oh, man.
		

			Good.
		

			Salam Alaikum and a very warm welcome back to the philosophy of fasting. Well, before the break, we
were talking about the Quran. And the, you know, the ultimate reason why we must read the Quran in
Ramadan, and especially in the Arabic language. And Dr. Hatton was saying, Look, you must read the
Quran in Arabic, it's important that a Muslim must know the doctor touched my heart once again by
saying look, you you yourself Rafi, you must learn the Quran. So Dr. Let's pick up on and say what
is that plan to learn the Quran in Arabic? Yeah, this allows for that was salam ala Rasulillah first
of all, that reading the Quran, reading the Quran in English is not reading the Quran is reading the
		

			meanings of the Quran. Yes, and that is good. The person will learn the basic meanings of the Quran.
But it is not an act of a bad what is an act of a brother is what to read the Quran in Arabic
because Allah revealed that Allah likes that Allah likes his words to be recited everywhere in the
world. And that's why we like to see more people reading the Quran we would like to see non Muslims
		

			start reading the Quran and submitting
		

			to the Quran. Why? Because then Allah sees more people glorifying Him through
		

			Whoa, reciting his own words definitely. So and that's why, you know, the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
The very famous Hadith did have delight because the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, the one who
reads any single letter from the Quran, he will get one Hassan.
		

			He will get one husband, and then the prophets Allah wa sallam said, I don't see Alif Lam Meem as
one letter, I say, Olive is letter, lamb is letter mean is letter. So by reading Alif Lam Meem you
will get 300 In fact, you will get more than the brother of it.
		

			Do you know that Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim which is one verse from the Quran, and it is the first
verse of Surah Fatiha. Do you know that it includes 19 letters? 19 letters means 19 has no good
deed. In fact, Allah, Allah Allah out of his generosity, he said that normally there has an out of
his generosity. He said the Hasina will be given us 10 100 When a person makes 100 Allah who will
give him 10 has hunted and Allah even man, me multiply it more than though so the one who reads
Listen, our viewers, the one who reads just Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim, he will get 19 Hasina. In
fact, 19 times 10 190 hashanah shall how long it takes to recite Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. Okay
		

			take the other story.
		

			Surah Fatiha Surah Fatiha it includes more than 150 letters
		

			just to read fattier, which means what? Which means 1500 Good deed by just reading Surah Fatiha that
does not take even maybe one minute or so, of course read Surah Fatiha Of course. So, by reading
Surah Fatiha, you are getting 1500 Hassan and it is the Mercy of Allah that we Muslims read Surah
Fatiha at least 17 times a day because we are praying five times a day and we are doing 17 raka a
day. Yes to the Fajr for the whole for us. Three Mallory for Asia, the total is 72. If we read Surah
Fatiha 17 times 17 times 1500 It has Anna, which means that by reciting Surah, it has no we are
getting almost 30,000 has Anna, of course, every day, every day. And by the way, if you make a call,
		

			I would like to take this opportunity. My dear brothers and sisters especially we are talking to
people from different backgrounds, people in different countries.
		

			One of the best things that you do is to teach people how to read Surah Fatiha yes Wallahi see, if
we know and we believe in the reward that we will get by teaching people Surah tell Fatiha we will
pay money to people in order for them to accept that they receive Surah Fatiha from us in order for
them to accept that we teach them Surah Fatiha not they pay us money in order to what in order to
teach them if normally people you know when you want to study something, you go and you pay your
teacher, we should pay people money in order for them to learn how to lead to rotate. Why? Because
as far as the person reading Surah Al Fatiha the one who taught him Surah Al Fatiha will get a
		

			similar reward. So for example, you accepted Islam the one who taught you so that Al Fatiha Raza
Rafi, whenever you read
		

			whenever you pray, yes, the daily prayer you will read Surah Fatiha in 17 times you will get 30,000
Has
		

			the one who told you he will get 30,000 has an A for himself and he will get similar 30,000 has no
because he told you Mashallah. So every day you are giving him 30,000 has another 30,000 has an and
whenever he dies, he you will be continuously giving him in his grave. 30,000 has another 30,000
Hashanah and so on. Not only this, you said you have a daughter
		

			Have you started to teach her Surah Fatiha, you will be getting 30,000 Hasina for your daughter. And
that person who taught you so what Fatiha he will get 60,000 has enough because you taught your
daughter and he was the source of this I shall so he will be getting 30,000 has no for your daughter
30,000 has no for you and it will be what? going on and on Subhanallah this is by what? By teaching
Surah Al Fatiha that's why I appeal to all of our brothers and sisters. First of all, to rake to
learn how to read Surah Fatiha properly and then to teach it to other people. Definitely.
		

			Sorry, our job
		

			is very, very important. Yes talk about us.
		

			Now you said about how can we read Quran in Arabic first of all, Allah Allah Allah confirm that he
made it easy to read or while uppity Yes sir. Now call analysts Zeke river hunted me Medaka we made
it easy for those who want to read it. In the beginning, brother Rafi, you might find that it is a
little bit difficult because your your the muscles of your house are not trained to read the
statement. Like the heart. Yeah, like that, like the bot. Definitely grab your throat.
		

			I mean, we can't do it. Exactly. But believe me, once you get into this, it will be very smooth.
Very easy. Definitely. And that's why you will find in the worst, I send my child to a Muslim
School. And in that Muslim school, most of the people are not Arabs. Yes. They memorize the Quran by
the age of 10. Yes. And in my son's school, of course. They memorize the Quran many of them. This is
the plan that they memorize the Quran by the age of 10 from different bank grounds of Pakistan is
Bengali Somalis. Some of them are white people. Wala he if you listen to them, you will say Subhan
Allah is this a Bangladeshi guy who is reading of course they are Western Westerner Bhangra were
		

			born in the West. So they are not fluent in their own language. But when you they are fluent in
English, yes. And they shall have the same difficulties in pronouncing ha ha wah and so on. But if
you listen to them, will Allah he will enjoy the citation. Of course you will see those younger
children. They are competing oh they say, Oh, I am reading like today's you know, the Imam of the
Hello.
		

			My favorite recited is a Sharpie. And they read and they read it exactly usually for like Sedalia or
SHA theory or arm D or so on. Holy SubhanAllah. Yes. What are the sadhana Quran Allah decree, the
Holman moody Okay, anyway, just to cut it short.
		

			You will need to first of all learn the alphabets. And this is easy. Alif Baa, Jim, and so on. Yes,
yeah. And then you need to learn how to read the words.
		

			Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen? Yes, I think we are running out of time. Definitely. I'm so sorry,
doctor. Okay. Just Just to quickly, yes, always keep a copy of the Quran that has the Arabic and the
English if you or your language, have it with you, and then we can explain the plan later Inshallah,
of course, Inshallah, talk to him once again. Thank you so much for joining us in the studio. I
really do want to bring this conversation back to him. Maybe next time, we can pick up on this
