Assalamu alaykumu Rahmatullahi wabarakatuhu BismillahirRahmanir

Rahimin the name of Allah, the most gracious,

the most merciful.

Indeed, the greatest word

in existence is the word of Allah.

There is nothing more powerful than the word

of Allah

The Quran.

Indeed, we have revealed this Quran, this reminder,

and we will protect it. That's what Allah

says. So Allah will protect this book from

change. He will protect it from

all sorts of negativity, from harm, from those

who intended to desecrate it, etcetera.

Allah will protect this book in every way.

So

when Allah says I will protect this book,

any human being who has made an effort

to protect the book

will be looked after by Allah as a

person who is looking after the book. So

if you've memorized the Quran and put it

in your heart,

you will be a hafil. A

hafil means a person who

has memorized the Quran, but hafeelah

means to protect.

Okay.

Initially hafee'ah

means to protect, to look after.

So you have protected or looked after the

Quran. As a result, Allah will protect you

because he has to protect you. The Quran

is inside of you. Subhanallah, it's in your

heart and your mind.

May Allah grant us an understanding. So I

want to call on 1 and all to

make a little effort to try to memorize

this Quran,

even if it means chapter by chapter,

verse by verse, page by page, whatever it

may be.

Let's listen to the recital repeatedly

so that we can actually

memorize

the verses. The Quran is so beautiful. You

listen to it a few times and you've

already memorized. Even little children, instead of getting

them used to all the songs on earth

that might be immoral and, you know, void

of values and morals,

we'd rather replace that from a very early

age with melodious recitation of the Quran. You

don't know how long the child is gonna

live and you don't know how long you're

gonna live. So we'd rather pack away good

rewards for ourselves and for our children

by teaching them the right thing, steering and

guiding them towards the right thing from a

very early age.

This is the word of Allah. So when

your child is young and as the child

is growing, instead of playing,

like I just said now, that the songs

and the musical items that perhaps are of

low morals and values, which the children pick

up and they begin to sing from a

very early age. In fact, even the movements

of their bodies, they learn them from a

very young age. Wouldn't it be befitting

for the word of Allah that we started

with something like the word of Allah in

a way that their whole life will be

steered in the right direction?

So consider what I've just said. It's very

important.

It's a very strong point. If you can

make it a habit to replace all that

that, which is not in the pleasure of

Allah with the Quran, the Quranic recital, something

good, maybe a good speech, a good lecture.

Trust me, your children from a very early

age of even below the age of 1,

you know, even below 1, they will start

picking up some of these words and at

a time they will pick up the verses

and the surahs and they will memorize pages

and pages. I did it when I was

little. And SubhanAllah, here we are telling the

same thing to us,

reminding us in my age group, for example,

those who have children, those who have responsibilities,

let's do the right thing.

The importance of the Quran. This is the

month of the Quran.

The month of Ramadan

in which the Quran was revealed. Masha Allah.

Masha Allah. My brothers and sisters, these are

a few words I thought I'd share with

you during this month of Ramadan regarding

the importance of the memorization of the Quran

and how to be able to achieve it.

I've just mentioned one point about memorizing,

Allah will protect you as a result of

you having made an effort to protect his

word. SubhanAllah. Isn't that enough? And then on

the day of judgment, you're called out, you

know,

where are the people of the Quran? A

lulahi wakha sattuhu,

the VIPs of Allah, the special guests of

Allah

on that day, You looked after the Quran,

you read it, you recited it melodiously, you

corrected the recitation, you looked into the meanings,

you learned the meanings, you understood,

you meaning you made an effort to understand,

you put into practice as best as you

could, and guess what? You taught it to

others. And when you teach others, it's a

sadaqa jarya.

So I taught someone who taught someone who

taught someone who taught someone.

Every single person in the whole line, including

the one who taught me and the one

who taught that person and the one who

taught the one who taught me would all

get a full complete reward. It is so

tremendous. It's difficult to even perceive, but Allah

knows, he says, I'll keep it for you

and you watch, you will never regret it.

So in the same way you teach someone

bad and they continue teaching others bad and

bad because you were a source of it,

you get a sin for all of their

sins

when you do good. It's the opposite. Alhamdulillah.

May Allah protect us all and grant us

from that goodness. May Allah open our doors.

My brothers and sisters. Similarly, the Quran Al

Quran.

Quran

will come and bear witness for you or

against you. When you read it beautifully and

you have a good relationship with it, it

will bear witness for you. When you have

a terrible relationship with the Quran,

it will bear witness against you. So my

brothers and sisters, we need to change that.

We need to make sure that we have

utilized the short lifespan that we have to

do the right things. It's enough.

Enough of the bad, Enough of evil. Quit

it. Leave it. May Allah grant us a

sense of responsibility.

My brothers and sisters,

it really pains us to see what's going

on across the globe. But what we do

know is, let's seize this opportunity to get

closer to Allah. You never regret that. You

can never regret

abandoning the bad

for all of us.

for all of us.
