Imam Shaltibi

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03

is someone that you should know,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

one of your ancestors from Ishbeliyah,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

from far

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

Western Andalus.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

And,

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

he was blind.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

And he he composed a poem. It's more

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

than a 1,000 lines,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

which discusses the different ways to read the

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

Quran, the usul

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

and the farosh.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

Can you imagine? That's our ummah.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

That's what our blind people did.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

That's us. Not only that, man, he went

00:00:30 --> 00:00:30

to Quds.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

Well, can you shed your salahuddin?

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

He went to Quds and he went and,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

like, encouraged salahuddin

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

to handle his business.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

But in his poem, he says,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:51

He

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

said you have to know that the rope

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

of god amongst us is the Quran.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

It's called

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

because the is something that you grab on

00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

to

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

in a time of need to reach a

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

goal, to accomplish something.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

And for us, the prophet

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

said that the Quran

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

is is the rope of god extending from

00:01:15 --> 00:01:15

the heavens

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

that we are responsible for holding up. This

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

is a good hadith.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

I say that because sometimes I find people

00:01:23 --> 00:01:23

like oh

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

Quran is hard or,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

you know, I struggle with it, but nobody

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

struggles with Netflix.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

Nobody struggles to watch The Office.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

You know what I'm saying? Nobody struggles to

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

play

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

the new PS 5.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

Why is it that shaitan

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

and our nafs make us feel like the

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

Quran is something we can't handle?

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

But the sheikh, he says,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

so make jihad with it.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

I mean, you gotta make jihad against yourself

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

to have a relationship with it.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

That's why said about

00:02:00 --> 00:02:00

that Quran

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

in the form

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

is You know what I mean?

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

That there's gonna be some opposition,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

that the book won't come easy to you.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

But I can say this,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

start to give at least 5 minutes a

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

day for the Quran,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

Get back with me after 1 month, and

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

tell me how you feel after that.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

And you tell me about the unlimited

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

doors

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

that Allah will

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

open for you

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

when you have a relationship with his book,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

with his words.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

There's no better way to get close to

00:02:35 --> 00:02:35

Allah

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

except with his words.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

When someone came to say

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

and said, how do I get close to

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

Allah? He said, I know a no easier

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

way

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

than with his words. So make a little

00:02:49 --> 00:02:49

effort, man.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

Struggle a little,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

Push ourselves a little

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

and see where the Quran takes
