Road to Return #17 – Letting The Qur’an Slip

Don't let the hole and slip away it's a major transgression.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam warned, he said I should I should do Shay ntfl lootah of the things that are quickest in slipping away from you is your memorization and your practice of the whole and that it is more sneaky in its departure than a camel that is left untied that you wake up in the morning and it's run off into the desert. That's such a powerful image given to us by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam abandoning the Quran, letting it slip away from us. There are three things that I warn you about first is that we recite it but don't seek to learn its meaning. And I don't mean you have to know what every letter means and become a scholar of Tafseer. But I

want you to make a daily habit, a daily ritual, a weekly ritual, if you can do a daily monthly ritual, if you can do more than that, where you sit and take pause, listen to something that educates you about the Quran, connect with the sources that you read most. Be able that when you lead yourself in prayer that the sources you are habitually regularly reading that at least you know their meaning and can connect in yourself to Allah subhanho wa Taala. Number two, learn something new every day from the Quran, memorize even if it is but a word a day, if all you can do is half an hour a day that you open the Quran and you memorize a new verse from solothurn cat for example.

Alhamdulillah he Leddy and then the next day Alhamdulillah he loves he ends Allah Allah happy then the next day Alhamdulillah he led the NZ Allah Allah Abdi Hill keytab while me edge Allah who were a Wada, you complete an iron finish as much of the Quran, connect your life to it, make it a scheduled habit, just like you schedule watching the basketball game and playing your games and having a timetable for your schoolwork and your homework schedule a time for the book of Allah that isn't just asked of you by your parents or by your you know, your siblings or your spouse, but something that you connect to the Quran on a level that you've chosen to be its partner in life. At number

three, be careful that the Quran slips away from you that it's just read by you studied by you, but it's empty in your home and empty in your lifestyle that you hear the words of Allah but you take a route other than it that you deprioritize a law that you resist the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made the Quran a part of your life that you are as each other the Allah who described your husband said Allahu Allah, you are Selim can Al Quran neuem she been a nurse, I wouldn't be as I said, lamb was like the haoran that walked amongst mankind. He was a living embodiment of the teaching of the Horan, do not let the Koran slip out of your life. Don't let the

verses of the Holy Land be recited on dumb deaf ears where you're unable to hear it unwilling to listen to it unable and unwilling to actively embrace it into your life. May Allah Subhana Allah increase us with our love and our attention to the Quran. And may Allah protect us from the transgression of de prioritizing the Quran and letting it slip away from us.
