Shayma Youssoukie with us. Masha'Allah, she is a
Qariyah in Morocco.
She has won Quranic competitions and Masha'Allah her
recitation is so beautiful. Insha'Allah today, we're going
to ask her in Arabic about her journey
to the Quran
and ask her about her work with the
Quran and ask her to recite for us.
And then InshaAllah, we're also going to joint
recite Surah Zumr, which is the 39th chapter.
If you'd like to listen to the translation,
read along, listen to the recitation and read
the translation, InshaAllah.
She said something so beautiful. She said, yes,
we are speaking sorry. We're speaking live. And
so our, our, our,
joining together
in, you know, in the remembrance of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala isn't in person, it's online.
But still inshallah, we hope that this is
one of the beautiful gatherings that Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala will accept as gatherings for his
sake.
She started, then her neighbors, she started. And
then slowly, she started in schools and she
would she, attended a specific,
kind of, kind of like an institute
specifically for, continuing with the Quran.
No.
What kind it's, like in the I mean,
I'm gonna have
a
you
may successful ahead.
Mhmm. So
Sunday, and she would do her, work with
the Quran on those days. And also in
the summers, they're in Morocco. They have, like,
a special time just for memorizing a special
special, program just for memorizing the Quran being
part of the Quran during the summertime.
So she started she started going to,
take specific classes with, a particular shayef and
she went and she studied Tajweed rules with,
with Shiyuf and mashAllah these teachers encouraged her
and said, you know, mashAllah, you have a
beautiful
gift with the Quran and your recitation. And
so they encouraged her to enter,
Quran competitions and mashAllah in her city, she
won
Inshallah, she's going to recite Quran for us.
So she's going to recite from the end
of Surtil Insan, which is,
No.
So she's gonna recite from, Aya 23.
I'm asking her why did she choose this
particular Surah?
He chose
he chose the surah because it begins by
giving,
you know, the glad tidings for the the
descriptions of the people who are of paradise.
I'm asking her, mashaAllah, she has participated in
Quranic competitions and won. Is she, like, the
only woman in all of of of Morocco
who participates in Quran competitions, or is this
part of, like, the culture of women we
said in the Quran there?
So she's saying that young woman and women,
they are all,
you know,
encouraged to recite the Quran, and so many
of them participate in Quran competitions. And sometimes
so many more women participate than even men.
There is like a saying that says, the
Quran is filled in Mecca, and it is,
memorized in Egypt and it is recited in,
and it is recited in Morocco. SubhanAllah.
SubhanAllah.
Masha'Allah.
So so many children from the time of,
you know, being young are encouraged to go
and memorize
Okay. I I mixed it up. I realized
a second later that Mecca was where the
Quran was revealed. It was it's
and it's,
memorized.
I'm asking her, does she have any for
someone who is I need advice for, for
for women who are trying to memorize the
Quran, begin with the Quran, and they don't
even know where to start. Did she have
any advice for them?
So if you're saying focus on,
you know, listening so much, the more you
listen, the more you're gonna perfect your recitation
InshaAllah. Practice every single day, work on perfect
perfecting the, tajweed.
So like listen daily and that's really what
helped her just constantly listening.
So much to Minshawi. Masha'Allah.
So she is saying that there is a,
a focus on women in,
there's been a focus on these programs for
women to be able to,
perfect the recitation of Tajweed if I understood
correctly in the beginning. So she, for example,
one time went to the Masjid and she
was reciting, and there was a woman whose
level is not that high, but she was
able to even correct her because, mashaAllah, the
focus on the perfection of the letters and
the perfection of the Tajweed
is so, is so, is so focused that
even someone who is not as high of
a level is able to correct someone who
is higher.
So there's also a,
a competition in
So,
I'm I'm just saying that it's so different
when you live somewhere where Quran is encouraged
and recited and supported. It's so different than
when you live in a culture in which
there's none of that and you never even
see that. SubhanAllah.
SubhanAllah.
He's a real woman to go to the
Quran because,
even though the Quran is a journey and
it can take time and sometimes it can
be difficult,
the Quran is beneficial.
It is a healing and it is,
something that I forgot.
Yes. Long journey and you need patience for
it, but it is a beneficial journey, and
it is one that brings healing with it.
So the part of the Quran is such
a beneficial,
the the Quran is so beneficial. The journey
with the Quran is beneficial
in this life before the hereafter, and it's
beneficial in the hereafter, and it's beneficial in
this life and the hereafter. So for everyone,
go to the Quran.
So the Quran is,
beneficial if the person is sincere. It helps
them and it raises their race.
And the Quran is the best friend and
the best intercessor. It intercedes and is your
friend in the,
and,
in in in the
also in the hereafter.
Okay.
So we, we decided that we're gonna do
Surat Zumr together Insha'Allah.
I am always embarrassed to recite, to be
honest in front of these incredible,
women, but so many sisters asked if we
could do joint recitation
because,
hearing the different,
tones,
each time has been really impactful for a
different woman to hear. So that's why inshallah
we're going to continue, even though I'm super
embarrassed to do it in front of her.
Okay. So we're gonna start with
39.
Oh.
So for most of you,
Her must have different. So most of the
masahif that we see here in the United
States,
they end like here. But mumkin
mumkin
naraa, mushaq aandiki maratin ochra?
See, hers doesn't
at that the the it doesn't end. The
ayah doesn't end on the page. So her
hers the difference, subhanAllah.
So for my must have, we're going to
start with,
42,
verse 42. This is the 39th chapter of
the Quran.
Someone can answer tabdayina insha'Allah.
39.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Her voice is gone. From
Ecuador.
They
don't know why
she's
her voice is incredible. We're missing it.
Hands upside. How do I do that?
She's in the zone for sure.
She's in the zone and she can't hear
about
that's what we should all look like all
the time.
I
don't know if she sees us.
May Allah bless her and increase her. These
aya are talking about
the people who are there
standing
on this day and
opens the gates of paradise and
they're the the angels, they're saying salaam una.
They're saying they're greeting us with this peace
and this this blessing.
And every time I think of these verses,
what I imagine
is I just imagine standing there with the
people that I wanna see so much, the
people that I love most just standing and
seeing, like, what would it be like? SubhanAllah,
what would it be like to be standing
there and seeing
all of these people that you've missed for
so long?
Allah, Allah, Allah. Allah, may Allah make us
of those people.
Do you hear us?
