My
brothers and sisters, we are
in the month of Ramadan,
The month of the Quran, Al Kareem, the
month of the nuzoor of the Quran.
Allah
so that it will be a means of
guidance
for the people.
And therefore, we need to,
give more time to the Quran, especially in
this month.
And of course, like for everything else, the
idea is not only to give
time to the Quran
in this month, for this month, but to
give more time to the Quran in our
lives itself.
Now one of the ways in which this
is facilitated for us,
thanks to this deen of ours, is through
the Talawi prayers,
which is really,
which is this this we're standing in the
night, which is tahajjud, the form of it
that the form it takes
in,
Ramadan is in this form, which
is which is.
So therefore, it's very important for us to
enjoy that Talawi and to pray Talawi,
listen to the Quran
and
to enjoy that.
Like I mentioned the other day,
the rewards of it are enormous. And would
give us a reward for every letter of
the Quran that we listen to in
And then the additional rewards for listening to
that in a state of qiam, so which
means in in a state of,
of salaam.
So we ask Allah
for us to we ask Allah to give
us all this and we ask Allah for
this Insha'Allah.
Now one of the things that happens,
and I've seen this. I'm talking from my
experience in Hyderabad, and I know this is
true.
In India, I know it's true in Bangladesh,
and I think it's also probably true in
Pakistan and probably in Indonesia and various places,
which is
to try to finish the Quran as quickly
as possible.
Now in Hadhara, may Allah forgive us, we
have
Masajid which complete the Quran
in 10 days.
So they are reading 3 Jews a day.
They complete 10 days. There are other masajid
who completed in
6 days. So they are
reading 5 Jews a day. They completed complete
the Quran in 6 days.
Then our masajid is complete the Quran in
3 days. They read 10 Jews a day
and they finish in 3 days.
And may Allah forgive us, there are some
places where they do what is called a
shabinah.
And a shabinah is they read the entire
Quran, 30 Jews in one day, in one
night.
Now do the sums.
If you start,
even if you pray Isha at the earliest
time. Right? So you've got, say, you pray
a shah at around,
8 o'clock or,
probably close to 9 o'clock. But anyway, take
8 o'clock.
And then you have Sohore,
or say,
which comes in at, say, 5 AM.
So 8 to 12 is
4 hours, and then from 12 to 5
is 5 hours. We've got 9 hours.
In 9 hours, you're completing 30 juice of
Quran. Now see
what speed you're eating at.
Because it's not just the juice of the
Quran.
In Tarawee,
normally as we as I was mentioning to
you, people read 1 Jews per night.
So 1 Jews in 20 rakat.
But apart from that juice,
you have
20.
You have 4 rakat of of of, Isha
before that so So that you got another
4 Surat of Fatihah plus the recitation in
the 2 rakats. First rakats of Suratul
of of, Salatul Isha.
And then you have the sira kat of.
So another 3 and
the surahs.
So one side of it,
this is a way of getting enormous reward
for us. 2nd side of it is the
opposite side, which is
that
when you are praying like this
with this enormous speed, there are 2 very
major problems.
The first thing is that to read the
Quran deliberately
without
paying attention to the rules of tajweed is
haram.
It is a sin.
If
Allah chooses, Allah can punish us for this.
It is as serious as that.
To deliberately, to choose to do that.
1 is, people don't somebody who does not
know tajweed, who does not who's not studied
Tarvin. He is reading it. She's reading it.
Alhamdulillah.
There is forgiveness for them, Insha'Allah.
Not only is there forgiveness for them, but
for their shawkh, for their desire to read
Quran, insha'Allah, Allah will reward them. That does
not mean don't learn tajweed. Tajweed is absolutely
critically important
because that is the method of reading the
Quran.
So in principle, if somebody says I am
reading
Quran
with tajweed,
the real question to ask is what other
ways there? Is there some other way of
reading mukhan?
The way of reading the Quran is called
tajweed.
So therefore,
tajweed is critical
to learn. But somebody who does not know,
he or she is still reciting, inshallah no
sin on them, They should continue to recite.
They should also make the effort to learn
Tajweed.
But for somebody
who knows Tajweed, who studied Tajweed
and who deliberately
read fast
to please
their bosses, to please their own nafs, to
please their own desires because they are
whatever the reason, this is haram. And this
is punishable before Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, may
Allah forgive us for punishment.
To force somebody else to read fast just
because you are paying them a salary, just
because you are and this is what happens
in many masajid.
The,
authorities of the masjid, the management of the
masjid,
the trust the the trustees or the boards
or board members of the masjid, they think
that because they have, you know, they have
hired the imam, they have hired the kari.
Usually, they they get they get, or
half a so fast for Tarabi.
Just because you're paying them a salary,
you think that you have the authority and
the right to force them to read fast,
and so on and so forth.
Please understand that this is a crime. This
is a sin on your head and Allah
will punish you for it. If you do
that, because you are forcing that
person
to
disregard the rules of the recitation of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's Kalam.
And just because you have the authority
fear Allah.
I say fear Allah.
Fear the day when you will stand before
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. That person is doing
wrong, listening to you, but at least that
person has an excuse. The person can say,
Allah, I was a poor man.
I needed the money. These people have no,
appreciation for your column. They forced me, so
I had to read fast. But what is
your excuse?
What is your excuse? How did you force
and why did you force that person? Right?
So please understand this. In the if anyone
who understands that,
will never read fast because he is he's
understanding what he's reading. Only people who can
read fast is people who,
who do not understand, so it doesn't make
any difference to them. They read whatever comes.
My brothers and sisters, please do not play
games with Allah
and with the kitab of Allah
and that also in the month of Ramadan,
the day, the month in which the qalam
of Allah was revealed.
Right? Final point is just think about how
ugly and how miserable this seems
in the sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Rasool Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala loves for his slave
to recite Quran
and when the slave recites Quran, Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
turns towards their slave with tawaja, with with
concentration. Allah is listening. It's like it's like
a it's like a favorite song coming on,
you know, on on,
on the radio. So you say, hold on.
Everybody keep quiet. I wanna listen to the
song. Allah
pays attention like that to the to the
person who's reciting Quran. Right? And the Inshallah,
may Allah make us among them. And
Ramit Salam said, Allah also draws the attention
of those around him. Who are the people
around Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
Are the major, the big angels?
Allah draws their attention and says, here is
my slave. Here is this this person, this
man or woman who is leading my calah,
listen to them. Now
in that situation,
think about that situation. They say, here is
a person who is
butchering the Quran. Here is the person who
is making khimah of the Quran, right, in
their recitation.
What is Allah
going to say?
What is Allah
going to say when he is listening to
this person doing this to the column of
Allah
I still remember a friend of a friend
of ours.
She was a classical singer classical Indian, sorry,
singer.
Now we have in India, they used to
be, she passed away.
1 of the greatest Hindustani classical singers, her
name was Begum Akhtar.
So this person, a friend of ours,
auntie Chandra, her name was auntie Chandra. So
she said that when she was a little
girl, she said, maybe she said maybe I
was, you know, maybe 8 years old, 9
years old.
My Ustad, my my classical
sing singing teacher
said to me, I'm going to take you
to meet Begum Akhtar.
Now this little girl who is 7, 8
years old,
is going to meet this big name. Right?
It's like a big, big chef.
For example, if if somebody said I wanted
to take you to meet and then, you
know, think of the name of the biggest,
recital of the Quran that you know,
Abdullah bin Mathur, for example, or something. They
say I want to now imagine that. Right?
So you have this if you have the
love for the kalam of Allah, then you
are you're you're you're so excited. You're so
almost fearful. So this little girl, she said,
I went
there. My Ustad introduced me to her to
Begumukhdar,
and she says she loves your singing.
Or then he also said, she also sings
some of the things that you sing. She
also sings those.
And then Chandra says
Bega Maqthar said to me,
So Bhagavakhtar says to him to her, okay,
my little daughter,
sing something for me.
Now
what? And he said to me till today.
Believe me, it takes the
the the earth away from my feet. And
the chandra says,
She said, I am sitting there and thinking.
I Bega Master wants me to recite her,
song, her Kalam,
her poetry
to her.
How can I recite her Kalam to her?
Now, this is Allahaka kalamah, Allah kusudarebhai.
Think about this in talawi.
You are reciting the Kalam of Allah to
Allah.
You are reciting the Kalam of Allah and
Allah is listening.
Now, think about how do you want that
to be?
Do you want to do your best
that the kalam of Allah is this is,
recited in the most beautiful way so that
Allah can listen to it and love his
peace.
We want to be the person who is
facilitating that to happen, Right? So I'm not
reciting, but I'm making sure that the person
reciting has all the facility.
There's nothing stopping that person from reciting beautifully
by reciting well. I'm not pressurizing the person,
not telling him hurry up and so on,
nothing.
I'm letting them do their job in the
best possible way. Do you want to be
that? Or do you want to be the
one who forced the person who could have
recited beautifully
not to recite beautifully
because of the pressure you put on them?
And that person was a poor person. They
needed the money that you were supposed to
pay them. And
so they quite wrongly,
they accepted and they
accepted your pressure and they decided the kalam
of Allah in a way that was not
in keeping with the grace and majesty of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and his kalam. My
brothers and sisters,
make this choice
because you are making this choice through your
behavior
and you are being watched by the malaika
and your account is being written in, make
sure what you want to put in that
account because one day you will stand before
Allah and this account will be read out
to you.
Ask Allah
to help us,
not to fall into the traps of shaitan
and not to fall into the traps of
our own nafs because Shaitan is chained up.
