We throw parties when they finish khatamul
Quran and these sorts
of things. We teach them tashweed and all
obviously, these things are good,
but this is not how the companions interacted
with the Quran.
Right? The companions interacted with the Quran. They
would not proceed past 10 verses at a
time
until they had understood them
and implemented them in their lives.
Right now, we live in a time where
we emphasize
quantity
over quality,
and one of the things I think that
all of us, especially the parents in the
room and many of us are parents, can
try to encourage our children
to read the Quran for fun, just like
they pick up any other book,
and to read it in a language that's
your native language, a language that you understand,
get to know it. Open from the middle,
from the beginning, from the end.
And one of the best ways that we
can encourage them to do that
is to do it ourselves.
Right? We can't really,
ask our kids to do very much of
something that we're not doing ourselves.
So in that sense, tafsir is something that's
for everybody.
It's different maybe than, like, hadith criticism
or even faq. Everybody needs a certain amount
of faq to worship
and to live.
But when it comes
to your everyday life,
understanding all the things that are going on
in your in your world
and understanding them through a lens of how
Allah
would be happy with,
then that comes back to tafsir.
