The Spanish language webinar will be in Milan with a free webinar on the topic of the greeting of the upcoming quarter in Milan. The speakers stress the importance of reciting the Quran in a way that makes it easier to think about it, setting goals for oneself, and letting surrounding areas affect one's perception of "meditation." They suggest reciting the Quran at a slower pace to achieve goals and actionable goals for oneself.

other relevant content to that series inshallah Tata coming up to really prepare our hearts for that
series with Allah and what it would be like to be with the beloved sallallahu wasallam. So look out
for more webinars for more videos in Charlottetown to prepare us for that series and of course the
quarter and 3430 inch outlets on which will also be starting anytime next week. And finally, I want
		
00:00:38 --> 00:01:12
			to remind you all in sha Allah to Allah of the greeting Ramadan with South Africa program, if you
donate at the link below but and lie to Allah in the description, then you can put the amount that
you've given him a lot and shot lots on it, and it will process on the first day of Ramadan. But in
the meantime, and hamdulillah Grameen every year, we look forward to the support that we received
from the community to continue to put out these free resources in the light, Anna, so please do be
amongst those that sign up in Charlottetown to the greeting on Milan with Celica, programming
Chatelet on at the link below, and of course, we also have the Ramadan prep webinar coming up this
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:57
			weekend being in LA. So with that in Charlottetown, I'm going to make this shorter halakha inshallah
hotter and Sharla. And that is a question that often gets asked, especially as we go up into Rome,
Milan, how often should I be reciting the Quran in the sense of how many huttons? should i do?
Should I recite it all? Should I complete the plan? Should my goal be to complete the recitation of
the quarter? And should my goal be to push myself to maybe recite it twice? Should I be looking to
finish half of the plan? How do I, you know, juggle the desire to finish the Quran? With the desire
to also read it in a way that I can ponder it and that I can enjoy it? What if I have difficulty
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:39
			with the recitation? Should I be focusing on reading the translation as well? You know, pausing
making sure that I'm understanding it. And I want to first begin by saying that in Ramadan, you want
to engage the Quran in any way possible, right? and engaging the Quran in any way is a form of Riba.
It's a form of worship. Whether you are engaging it by listening to its recitation or reciting it
yourself, or pondering upon its verses or understanding something deeper about it. All of it is a
form of Nevada and Shawn lotta even reading the translation is a form of Nevada in the intention of
wanting to understand the Quran. It's not the same as reciting the actual verses of the Quran, but
		
00:02:39 --> 00:03:20
			it is rabada in that sense, right? If the intention is to gain knowledge and gain closeness to Allah
and gain a greater understanding of the Quran, so that's the first thing you want to engage the hold
on in multiple ways. The second thing is that Ramadan is certainly a month of recitation. And so
yes, we do see that the self the pious predecessors used to push themselves in them a lot to recite
the Quran more in Ramadan than they would outside of Ramadan. It wasn't a month of studying as much
as it was a month of reflecting and developing and reciting right. But with that being said, there's
this beautiful statement from our beloved Mr. Little the low tide, where he says about the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:31
			recitation of the Quran he says Latin for oho Natha Daiquiri one at a hoodoo who had that had the
chef? He said, so he said, Well, the alongside
		
00:03:32 --> 00:04:19
			Latin through who Natha Daiquiri, do not recite the Quran as if it was as if it was some dates,
right dates falling from a tree, so don't scatter the recitation of the quarter. So don't don't
recite it as if it's a scattered recitation. But at the same time, he says, What not to hadoo who
has the surety, he said, Do not recite it so quickly that it's like poetry. So don't scatter the
recitation as if it's dates falling from a tree. Well, that's a hoodoo who has the surety and do not
recite it so fast as if it's like poetry do not go through it as quickly as you would poetry he said
before in the larger and the Agile AB he, he said, instead stop at its at its verses, it's it's
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:59
			verses that amaze you that cause you pause. So before in danger, maybe he will hardly call me he'll
call loop while I can hammer a honeycomb. He rasulillah He said, Well, the law of town I'm home that
makes sure that you recited in a way that you move your hearts and do not let the concern of one of
you as you're reciting the Quran, simply finishing the surah don't just think about I need to finish
this much. I need to finish this much. So I'm going to repeat the narration once again. He was asked
about how the Quran should be recited. He said Latin for all who Natha Daiquiri while at the hoodoo
who had the Sherry before in the idea you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			He will hardly call me he'll globe, whether you're calling him or her decom. If you're surah, do not
recite it like dates that are falling from a tree. And do not recite it like verses of poetry, but
instead stop at the verses that amaze you. And let it be that it moves your heart and do not be
simply concerned with finishing the surah. Now, what does this mean? Obviously, there are different
speeds that you recite the quota and as well. And it is important to have quantity in mind in the
sense that if you don't set any goals for yourself, for finishing the Quran, for example, are
finishing a portion of the quarter and then you might fall behind altogether. So it is important, I
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:21
			think, for you to set in Charlottetown at a time period and a goal, a quantifiable goal, but take
into consideration the recitation of the verses at a slower pace so that you can have time to
reflect for example, you could do it that way. So you could say that it would take me this amount of
time to recite this much thought and, and to reflect on it a little bit as well. And to stop at some
verses that move the heart and to ponder upon those verses for some time. So you could do that you
could encompass that with, you know, a time that suits the goal that you have in mind, you could
also divide as some of the amount mentioned in this regard that there's a difference between the
		
00:06:21 --> 00:07:01
			recitation to finish a item to finish the, the recitation so that you could reach that quantifiable
goal, and then standing up and reciting the poor. And at night in your PM, for example, where the
prophets lie, some would repeat the same verse over and over and over again. And he would spend the
entire night sallallahu aarnio center with one idea, right, and make a day out with it and cry, and
reflect upon it. So there's a difference between the recitation of the verses at night where you
slowly recite the verses and you reflect upon them and you cry with them, and you make do out with
them. Or there's also the recitation, you know, if you're sitting outside, for example, and you are
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:36
			pondering during the day, we talked about to Dublin and Suffolk code last week, this idea of
contemplation and reflection, you're pondering during the day you're reading, it's versus you're
really taking your time to look up into, and to say, at home did a lot to say Subhan, Allah to, to
really let the poor and move your heart and administer to the law, the law of town and who of
course, love the poor and so much, you know, he describes, for example, the, the how I mean, the the
surahs that start off with how mean, he said that when he would get to those sewers in the poor, and
it was like he got into some beautiful gardens. And so what do you do, when you get to these
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:17
			beautiful gardens, you stop and you take time, to observe and to smell the flowers and to, to
really, you know, take into into your heart, the beauty of what is around you. And so it is also
natural that you might be attached to certain parts of the body, and you should be attached to all
of the color and of course, but certain parts might get to you because of your circumstances because
of just a certain thing about those sodas or those stories that relate to you. But it's natural,
even a bit mystery with all the Allahu anhu, who certainly loved the whole point and would stop at
certain suicides as well and take his time and enjoy the surahs a little bit more. And he described
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:58
			the how I mean in another narration as like the silk garments, these beautiful silk garments of the
Quran. So the point is, dear brothers and sisters, you have to have some recitation of the Quran and
that is with some reflection time and some pause. And it is a good idea to quantify to an extent. So
even the self as they talked about the pious predecessors talked about the importance of reflection,
they still set goals for themselves, and they still would try to recite the Quran a certain amount
of times, but at the same time, they took that into consideration with the time that they spent with
the Quran. And all of it is a bad so yes, if you want to set a smaller goal, for example, in terms
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:27
			of how much you'll recite, but at the same time, give it the same amount of time that you would have
given for a longer goal. So that you can give your time more give yourself more time to reflect and
to ponder, then do so but in the 90 Tada. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to fill our hearts with the
poor and to to allow our tongues to be busy with the quarter and in our thoughts to be busy with the
Quran. In the month of Quran We ask Allah paradata to make us people of Quran Allah Ameen. zakon
