Mufti Menk – I’m Never Going To Give Up

When I was doing my hif You know

what's hif when you want to memorize the

Quran. Right? I was 9 years old, 10

years old, and I started getting an idea

that perhaps it's too difficult, and I'm not

going to finish.

I'm not going to finish. How many Jews

in the Quran? How many chapters in the

Quran? Can you?

How many?

30.

30 chapters in the Quran or 30 ajzah.

Some call it 30 Paras. Right?

In Urdu, it's para.

So it's 30

sur 30 chapters not surahs. Surahs, there's 114.

But when you start off number 1, number

2, how many are remaining now?

I think.

28 remaining. Right? When you do 3, how

many remaining?

27. When you do 4, how many remaining?

So 26 is so much and you start

thinking, gosh. Am I going to finish?

And that question comes about shaitan makes you

think again and again. And you think perhaps

it's going to be so hard for me.

I'm here to tell you do not give

up. Do not

Give

up. Do not Give up. Because

we all completed it. How many of you

are afar? You finished the whole Quran. Put

up your hands.

See, there are few from amongst us.

They didn't give up. They didn't?

Put your hands down. Put your hands down.

It's okay.

They didn't give up. If you give up,

it's you who gave up, but the world

will carry on. The other people who did

not give up, they will finish. They will

complete. They will succeed. It's not going to

be easy, but we're not on earth in

order for everything to be easy. Sometimes things

are going to be tough. They're going to

be what?

It's going to be hard.

Do you think it's going to be a

walk in the park to become a Hafid?

Allah makes it easy only when you fight

your laziness

and you don't give up.

So what are you doing? 2 things. Number

1, fight your?

Number 2, don't?

Don't give up. Masha'Allah.

So you continue before you know it you're

already on 15.

How many Jews in the Quran did we

say earlier? 30. 30. 15 is exactly half.

Right?

When you're on 16, you're going downhill now.

Right? 17,

you're going downhill. 18, a few more left.

And then you're on 21. Some people give

up. If they give up, they lost. I

want to encourage those who might have give

given up. Today is the day. I'm reminding

you go back. Don't give up. It's never

too late. You must make sure you finish.

Do a little bit a day but do

not give up. It might take you 1

year, 2 years, or 5 years, or more.

It's okay. I'm not going to give up.

I'm not going to

give up. Never. That's a Muslim.
