Sajid Ahmed Umar – Qur’an In Ramadan #2B – Is Recitation Alone Sufficient

			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. I'm about to welcome back
to our second session. As we learn together the manifest
		

			etiquettes the important morals and mannerisms that each and every one of us must adopt with the
book of Allah subhanho wa taala. Now, just before the break, we started discussing the importance of
pondering and deliberating over the lessons found in the book of Allah azza wa jal and weidel kaha
Allah subhanho wa Taala says in his book, women home, only Yuna lair Allah Muna al Kitab Illa Imani
right, so Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about a group of people. In this particular verse, Allah
subhanho wa Taala says that from them is a group of people that do not know anything about the book,
except to recite it.
		

			Remember show Kenny said that this verse actually refers to the unlettered ones from the Jews who
did not know the Scripture except to read it. So he Allah subhanho wa Taala is speaking about those
that just read the scriptures and do not ponder over it, do not deliberate over I do not understand
it. And Allah subhanahu Attallah is not speaking about them in a praiseworthy fashion. No, Allah
subhanho wa Taala instead wants us to understand our instruction and our Constitution. Even I
should, in other Mufasa further said that this verse refers to the actual receipt reciting of the
Quran or the actual recitation of the Quran in haste, without contemplating over the messages within
		

			them. So this is what some of the lemma have actually taught us from this particular verse, Thus,
reinforcing the important points that we made manifest and made clear to one and all before the
break the importance of pondering over the verses in the Quran. This is something which is
importantly to worship Allah subhanho wa taala. Or first and foremost, we need to understand that we
are worshipping Allah subhanho wa taala. Through pondering over these verses, this should be the
good manners with the Quran, oh servants of Allah may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us this
understanding and this ability. Allah subhanho wa Taala also says in his book that the likeness of
		

			those entrusted with the obligation of the Torah, but subsequently failed in those obligations, they
are like, or they like this is like the likeness of a donkey who carries a huge burden of books.
Right? Who carries a huge burden of books, and they do not understand anything from it. Subhanallah
right. So what's the point of that you have a large library of books, right full of lessons full of
guidance, but you don't open those books, you don't learn from them, you don't understand the
lessons from them, they cease to be of any benefit, besides us taking up space, besides just being a
burden, just like a huge burden, or a huge amount of books is a burden to a person carrying it in
		

			this case, Allah subhanho wa Taala likens it to the burden experienced by a donkey. So we need to
understand Oh servants of Allah, that this is very important. This is criteria we need to ponder and
deliberate we need to visit the Adama and ask them we need to busy them, teach us make us understand
what does this first mean And subhanAllah we will find that we have we will have a greater
concentration as well as tranquility in our Salah and we are in great need of ensuring the highest
standards in terms of the quality of our Salah For we know that Shavon when he can stop us from
worshipping Allah subhanahu Italia in a particular manner. He does everything to ensure that the
		

			quality of that worship is poor. And that's where we find that many people complain that as soon as
they start their salah, they remember a whole host of issues which they wouldn't even remember if
they tried to outside of Salah May Allah subhanahu wa taala protect us also, questions come through
how can we improve our concentration in our Salah How can we raise the levels of tranquility, that
one experiences during his or her Salah from the waves and mannerisms are doing so is to understand
that which you are reading and understanding that which you are reading happens in the form of
understanding the verses that are being recited and that understanding becomes even more apparent
		

			when we ponder and deliberate over the verses found in the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah
subhanho wa Taala also says in his book, I shall turn away from my versus those who behave
arrogantly on the earth without a right and even if they see all the ayat, the proofs, the evidence
of diversity, etc. They will not believe in them. And if they see the way of righteousness, which is
to heat and Islam and Eman and following the the teachings of the messenger of allah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam they will not adopt it as the way but if they see the way of error
		

			They will adopt that way. That is because they have rejected Our Verses. Our evidence is our signs
and we're heedless, and we're heedless. This is the area of concentration in this particular verse,
They were heedless to learn a lesson from those verses. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to protect
us from heedlessness in regards to what some of the fuqaha have said in this regard, we find even
Kodama, the famous humbly scholar he says that sending actually prevents one from understanding the
book of Allah subhanho wa taala. And obviously this lesson is manifest from diverse that we have
just covered together. So knowing understand or servants of Allah, that understanding the Quran
		

			contemplating over it is criteria, right. It will help us improve our concentration in Salah it will
help us improve our association with the Quran. It will assist us in building our agenda in gaining
rewards in having a stronger association with the Quran. Subhanallah obey Allah Allah and Allah He,
you you can't help but learn every day, even if you recite that verse over and over again. And this
is a fact. This is a fact. I mean, if you speak to those that really have been blessed by having a
strong association with the Quran, they themselves will will bear testimony to this, they will
testify to this important fact that I've just mentioned that they recite the Quran, even if it's one
		

			verse 10 times with contemplation obviously and concentration, they learn 10 new lessons from that
same verse Subhanallah Bella Bella, this is from the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala upon the
unblock Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are lacking Katara Nasional Yeah, Allah moon, but most
of the people who do not know May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us or so we've learned from this
verse just covered in from the statement of even Kodama that some of the reasons that prevent a
person from understanding the Quran from contemplating and revising the Quran I sense, right and
this is a fact a situation that happened with the mammoth Shafi comes to mind where Mr. Musharraf
		

			who was the person that Allah subhanahu Atana blessed with memory Subhanallah some of the Allama
state that he was blessed with an ability to memorize in such a manner that if he had a book in
front of him, he would have to cover a page to protect himself from even memorizing it without even
intending to Subhan Allah, Allah Allah. He was blessed. Imam Shafi says Sherco to Isla were Kiran,
su Ashley, for our shed any electoral kill Massey, or Akbar Ronnie be NLRA Manu rune, or Guru la
Hui, later who asked me Subhanallah remember Sheffield, he says, I complained to my teacher who
cared about my poor memory, about his poor memory when he indeed had a strong one. So what did his
		

			teacher do his teacher advised him towards leaving since and told him that since that knowledge
rather, is a light from Allah subhanho wa taala. And the light from Allah subhanho wa Taala does not
come to a center may Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all. So these are great lessons from the
Quran that we've covered from the narrations of our beloved Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam from
some of the incidents and statements of the pious predecessors before us, also are servants of
Allah, that which prevents us from contemplating from deliberating and learning from the bountiful
lessons in the Quran is having an absent heart when reciting having an absent heart when worshiping
		

			Allah subhanahu Attallah. And this point is not only specific to the Quran, it's specific to all our
worship of Allah subhanho wa taala, even when we invoke aid, right and worship Allah subhanho wa
Taala through the various ADKAR It is one thing to just recite it on the tongue without a present
mind and heart. But it is another thing to recite it to Say Subhan Allah and really understand what
you're saying Alhamdulillah and understand what you're saying, Allahu Akbar, and understand what
you're saying. And the same thing applies with the Quran. If we read it, just on our tongues, in a
manner that nothing penetrates our throats, our voice boxes, meaning nothing reaches our hearts,
		

			then, indeed, we will fail to learn anything from the Quran. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us
and the Allama have gone to great lengths in teaching us the importance of having a present heart, a
present heart that you actually know what you are reciting, you actually
		

			see the words feel the words and thus feel the lessons this is important. So it's not only tongue
worship, even though Allah subhanho wa Taala rewards a person for reciting a letter in the Quran
with the Hassan and the husband is equal to 10 rewards but the rewards are greater for the one that
has a present
		

			Hot a present mind. So this is important. So we've covered two points that prevent a person from the
setup bar from contemplating and deliberating. One is being sinful, right for sins, prevent
knowledge, that is from the light of Allah subhanho wa taala. It prevents it from entering the
heart. The second point that we've just covered is the importance of having a present heart when
actually worshiping Allah subhanho wa taala. And, more specifically, reading the Quran, in other
point are servants of Allah, that prevent one from the board is not understanding that which we are
reading and that which we are reciting. But this is not a problem. Why? Because at Hamdulillah, as I
		

			said earlier, Allah has blessed us with those knowledgeable about the Quran Alhamdulillah meaning
Allah has blessed us by allowing us to have them within our vicinity, right? We all have those
people in our communities, in our cities, in our towns, that have been blessed by Allah subhanho wa
taala, and that they have an understanding
		

			in terms of the lessons and the verses in the Quran, and we should utilize them, we should go to
them and ask them to teach us or we should find a translation of the Quran, read the meaning go to
them, confirm the meaning and contemplate over that lesson. So there's no excuse not understanding
the Quran really is no more an excuse, we have the tools and the abilities to do so. And we should
do so and Allah subhanho wa Taala will reward us in that as well. So with that, our time has come to
an end for this particular session. So in summary, today we learned about the book and that it is
from the great manners and etiquettes with the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. We discussed verses
		

			from the Quran and from the teachings of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam in regards to it.
And then we went on to learn the reasons that prevent a person from contemplating and deliberating
over the Quran. And we discussed three in particular, firstly, is the presence of sins secondly is
not having a pleasant heart when worshiping Allah subhanho wa taala. And thirdly, we discussed the
issue of a person actually not understanding that which they are actually learning and we said that
that is no more an excuse in today's day and age for Al Hamdulillah. We have the dilemma and we have
a translation of the Quran amidst us. Inshallah, in our next session, we will continue with to
		

			double until them I love you all for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala As salam o alaikum
