Quran Wali Bukarim. A generous Quran. This is
the literal,
translation
So one of the reasons why the Quran
is called Al Kareem, the generous or the
noble because it came down from Al Kareem.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. One one of those
attributes is Al Kareem.
And also, he came down with,
an angel who is Kareem, Hajibreel alayhi salaamu
wa Kareem.
And he came down to a prophet who
is Kareem,
and he came also to a nation, an
Ummah, that is Kareem.
Okay? So everything about the Quran is Kareem.
So one of the reasons why Al Quran
is called Al Kareem because it has no
contradictions,
no imperfection.
It is perfect, and this is why it
is called Al Kareem.
Al
So how
number 1, you have to show respect to
the Quran. You have to honor the Quran.
Are there any Muslims who dishonor the Quran
and disrespect it? Of course, all the time.
Number 1, I'm gonna give a couple of
examples.
When you take an oath on the Quran
and you know for sure you are lying,
this is disrespectful
to the Quran, and this happens all the
time.
Sometimes you find yourself in a difficult situation
and the only way out is to make
a full, false oath on the Quran.
Okay. And the people come to me all
the time, you know, I was in this
difficult situation and I had to lie and
I put my hand on the Quran. I
I lied.
But I was not taking an oath on
the words, but I was talking the oath
on this empty,
margin of the page. I was not talking
about the words of Allah. I was talking
about the page and the ink.
Okay. If you take an oath on the
Quran, it's an oath. If you swear by
the words of Allah in the Quran, you
are making an oath by Allah. Don't play
games with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And this happens all the time with a
lot of leaders back home. They take an
oath on the Quran when they assume the
office, when they come to office that they
will,
inshallah, be honest,
and they steal all the money. Send to
Switzerland. Send to London. Send to all these
countries.
Oh, I will protect my people from every
yeah, from every heart.
So when they asked him, okay, you swore
in the Quran that you protect your people
from outside aggression. He said, yes,
but I never said I'm not gonna kill
them myself. I'm not I will never allow
anyone from the outside to kill them, but
I'll kill them myself.
K? And I never made
an awesomeness. Okay?
So this is also a violation, and this
is also disrespectful
of the Quran.
When
the Quran is
When the Quran is recited, you have to
pay attention and show respect. And they say
this means the recitation in salaam.
How many times
you are standing in the salaam,
crying and thinking about all the ayes and
you hear all the crazy ringtones and you
feel like you're gonna dance with the phone.
Okay? This is disrespectful
to the club. Some
people, they stand up to pray salah to
sunnah in Jummah and other days, and people
stand in the back and they crack jokes
and they they laugh.
Okay? And sometimes, they they they pray second
jamaas outside. And I see this with my
own eyes. Some people come late. They stand
in in the line to pray salat al
jamaas. Some brothers, they stand in the back
and they crack jokes and the people can
hear the recitation of the imam. So this
is too much.
And it's a shame all by and I'm
not talking about anyone
that there are some people, including
Arabs, who can't even read the Quran. And
I'm not talking about Tajmid, by the way.
Okay. I'm talking about misreading the word in
a way that changes the meaning completely.
So if you are an Arab and you
can't read the Quran,
I really don't know what to say. Okay?
You have to track this what you need.
So if the Quran says, do things this
way, you have to follow what it says.
Do it this way. Do it this way.
Okay.
Are those who learn the Quran and read
it.
And the prophet,
SAW, ASSA, also says in the authentic Hadith,
they would go higher in rank in Jannah
based on the amount and the number of
source they memorized
and they were reading in this dulill.
Sorry. Left the middle of this. That's what
happened.
So
brief story about that I work for those
who learn the Quran and teach it. One
of the scholars, I heard it from a
couple of scholars, they say, there was this
orphan
and his mother wanted him to learn the
Quran, to become a shayf,
a huja, Quran. So
she sent him to this far away shayf
in his village to learn from him a
long time ago. So he said that the
kid the kid went to the shayf and
asked him, please teach me Quran. I'm an
orphan, and, you know, I I want to
learn the Quran. So the sheikh told him,
I'm very busy. I have a lot of
students. I I can't give you any time.
You see, I I'm I'm eating while I'm
teaching because I don't have time.
The kid insisted, and he said, please, I
wanna learn Quran. So he said, well, I
can't. Maybe wait a few months until I
finish my with some of the students, and
he can come.
So the kid didn't leave. He didn't go
back to his mother, and he slept in
front of the house of the sheikh.
The next morning, he came to him, please
teach me Quran. He said, I can't. The
second night, he slept in front of the
house.
So the sheikh said, this kid is gonna
waste my time, and he's gonna stay in
front of my house forever. I'm gonna ask
him for something difficult, he cannot do it,
then he will leave.
So he said,
if you give me 10 golden pieces, 10
dinars, inshallah, I'm gonna teach you. And he
knew that this is impossible for a kid
like this to break.
So the kid got so frustrated,
and he left, and he said, I'm gonna
go to my mother. Even if we sell
the house, we can't pay this amount.
So on the way, he said
he was tired, and he slept under a
tree.
So the prophet
told him go back to the shayef and
tell him that the prophet
is ordering you to teach me Quran.
So the kid said, but
what if
what if he,
what if he if he said that I'm
making up this story? Give me a side.
I tell him.
So the prophet told him,
tell him,
say this word to him. Zumal and Zumal.
It's a word from the Quran means in
groups, in big numbers, in groups. Zumal and
Zumal.
So the kid went back to the shayef,
and he said, I had a vision, and
the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, is asking
you to teach me Quran. So the shayef
said, what is the sign? He said the
sign is Zumal and Zumal.
So they
shaved yeah. And they started to kiss the
hands and the head of the kid, and
he said, Shama, I'm gonna teach you Quran.
Sit down. Sit down. So the kid said,
what about Zumal and Zumal? What is this
word?
He said that I have been teaching Quran
for so many years.
And I'm not taking money from anyone. Okay?
The reason I told you this because I
wanted you to give me some time, but
I I was not going to take any
money from you.
But
I've been teaching Quran for a long time,
and
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
they would go to Jannah, Zumal, and Zumal
in groups. They will go in groups to
Jannah. So he started to teach him. We'll
put him next time.
