Suleiman Hani – In Love With The Quran #19 – The Art Of Reflection

			How can you contemplate the Quran without knowing any Arabic? Remember Allah subhanaw taala tells us
that the Quran is a blessing book Mobarak and Allah Subhana Allah tells us the objective of it. The
revelation is what Leah did battle at so that you can reflect upon its verses. And so when you take
all of this into consideration, you realize contemplation of the Quran is an act of worship. It is
one of the objectives, one of the goals of Revelation, Allah subhanaw taala commands us to think
about the verses of the Quran, the signs within the Quran. And of course, we know and we realize the
majority of the Ummah does not speak the Arabic language, and Allah subhanaw taala would not command
		

			something that the Ummah is incapable of that we are not able to do. Otherwise, this becomes a
difficulty upon the majority. So there must be a way to do and there is a way to do it. What are the
different things that we can do? And what are some of the lessons we can take from what the
Companions would hear and the turbine would hear? So a man said to Abdullah bin Massoud, he said, I
recite all of the Mufasa sower in one raka these are certain types of soar from one place to
another. So Abdullah, on the long run, he said, You must have been resetting it very quickly. Like
there were citation of poetry. Verily, there are people who recite the Quran, but it does not go
		

			down beyond their collarbones. So it is a factor with the Quran, that it is beneficial only when it
settles in the heart and it is rooted deeply in it means you want to focus on it. Tip number one,
personalize the message. When you read the Quran, read as if every verse is addressing you and no
one else every verse of command, every verse of prohibition, don't do this. Don't do that. Stay away
from this. Abstain from those things. Every time you hear. Yeah, you Alladhina amanu Oh believers at
nine times in the Quran, this was mentioned, reflect on it as though it's addressed to you. And when
he describes the believers, ask yourself if this is how you are, when it describes the disbelievers
		

			or the hypocrites. Make sure you are thinking about the qualities that are describing them and that
you are far away from those qualities. Um, the Rockman been out one time, while the loved one was
brought some food. And then he said most I've been on mayor was murdered and he was better than me
and all they could find to cover him. Shroud him was a single sheet. Hamza was martyred and he was
better than me and all he could find to shroud him was a single sheet. I fear that our pleasures
have been Hastin for us in this life. And then he began to cry, he began to cry. May Allah subhanaw
taala grant us humility. And Robin Alfred, the Allah one was one of the wealthiest of people in
		

			history one of the wealthiest of believers in the entirety of the OMA. And he was worried that while
he had a dunya was going to be basically a reward that he would not then get in the afterlife. Now
he recited one of the ayat of the Quran, and it was describing disbelievers and I want to share
something here about the story. He could not help but be afraid, thinking that he would be amongst
those whose pleasures in this life consumed in this world are a sign that they would not have
anything in the next slide. So read the Quran as though it's addressed to you number to
		

			reflect on the context of the word placement. When you read the Quran, think about the words and
where they are in the eyes. Now, you may not know how to do this. This is why we listen to lectures
and this is why we have classes online and offline and we have resources and books of hamdulillah
Allah subhanho wa Taala sent Musa alayhis salam to a teacher. And the teacher had two qualities. And
we read about this every Friday every Juma. This teacher had two qualities mercy and knowledge, but
Allah mentions mercy first, Mercy precedes knowledge, knowledge is power. And that power can give a
person of authority the ability to do something wrong, or with Mercy, the ability to do something
		

			right meaning to be kind to others. Knowledge allows you to judge to understand situations at times,
but knowledge without mercy can make you judgmental, can lead to a lot of problems and we know this
and we see this in our communities. Tip number three, reflect on the combination of the names of
Allah subhanaw taala, in the different verses that you read. And so, you find the reference to a
lower high alcohol, Allah subhanaw taala the one the prevailing you find this combination to be very
interesting one because the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah wa when the one is always
mentioned alongside the name alcohol, which is like the prevailing one the ever prevailing why this
		

			is because the kings and the leaders of the world they only prevail and they have power due to other
factors like wealth, weaponry, our
		

			means the people that support them. On the other hand, Allah subhanaw taala His power is himself he
needs nothing else. Lisa chemically he's saying there's nothing like him. So to illustrate the
uniqueness of his power, ALLAH SubhanA combines these two names and why hate the one Alpha hardly
ever prevailing. These are some tips amongst others. And I want to ask you this question at the end.
Which of these three principles do you try to practice the most or will you try to practice the most
moving forward?
