			Miracle of the Quran is when you start
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			with 1 verse,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			you won't be able to continue just with
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			1 verse. It will continue to 2 and
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			then 3, and then 4, and then more.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			So you end up reading a whole page
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			a day. You end up reading more, and
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			then you start memorizing things. I'm always
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			baffled by how people,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			they want their kids at a very young
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			age to learn every song that there is
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			in the market.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			Whatever song is on Spotify, Dotify,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			whatever other Fi there is. Everyone's learned it.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			And they learn
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			the moves
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			of the same songs
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			on which app?
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			On which app? Don't pretend like you don't
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			know.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			TikTok. There it goes. Masha Allah. You see?
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			We learn the moves. But I tell you
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			what,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			without realizing that I could have spent my
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			time learning verses of the Quran. When you
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			have a little kid, the first things that
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			you put into the sponge.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			It is taken in and absorbed
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			more than anything else. And the life is
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			being molded at that point. So when your
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			life is being molded and whatever you're absorbing
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			happens to
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			be divorced from Allah, and the message or
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			that Allah has given us. What do you
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			expect as an outcome?
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			Rather, we
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			let the child absorb
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			beautiful
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			recital of the Quran. Recently, I came across
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			a lovely reciter by the name of Muhammad
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			Al Fati from Yemen. Have you heard that
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			name?
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			No. You can check him out. Young guy.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			And
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			beautiful melodious
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			recital, I swear I could sit all night
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			and hear the entire Quran, listen to it,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			and concentrate.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			That's how beautiful the recital is. People ask
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			me, who's your favorite reader? Can you guys
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			say a few names? Who's your favorite reciter?
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			Just call out names.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			Abdulbasid,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			Ma'akili.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			Who else?
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Mushari. Who else?
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			Afa who else?
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			Ana Sala Emadi.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			Who else?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Look at all the names.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			Beautiful, right?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			I have a different favorite reciter in different
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			moods.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			How's that one?
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			I promise you, and I'm not cheating, by
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			the way.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Sometimes you listen to so many Haytham Addakheen,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			for example, Hazza al Blushi, for example. This
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			guy, Muhammad Al Fakih, I'm talking about a
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			guy known as Ra'ad al Kordi, a guy
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			known So many recitals one after the other.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			There are tons and tons of them available.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			And wallahi, I tell you depending on your
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			mood each one will help you by the
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			will of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to calm
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			down, to soothe, to fulfill that
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			within you that needs fulfilling because you are
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			connected with the Quran Just by listening. Imagine
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			if you are reading. Imagine if you try
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			to read with a melodious tone. I once
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			told some people,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			a a gathering, that you must make an
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			effort to read with a melody.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			So one of the ladies messaged me later
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			and told me, it's so difficult to read
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			with a melody. I said, you have to.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			You must. It's only you. It's only you
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			in your room. But instead of looking at
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			the Quran and saying,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			It's not wrong to do that, but Allah
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			wants you to beautify it.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			See the difference?
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			Amazing.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			And the sister tells me about 2 weeks
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			later that I can't believe the contentment I
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			feel. I'm happy. I'm so happy. I was
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			sad and depressed. I look forward to reading
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			the word of Allah and telling Allah, oh
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			Allah, for you I'm doing this. Listen.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Listen to this, subhanallah.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			May Allah Almighty grant us ease.
