Sharon sada we say welcome all month of Ramadan welcome all month

Felicity, this is a month in which that you and I can attain
unimaginable good. And one of the great ways that we can do that is
to not only perfect our fasting and move up in his degrees but to
also work on our relationship with the Quran. And this is in sha
Allah how to add a what we will try to do from the lens of this
great look of her digital system was Addy
the keytab adapted I will read Quran, the book on the proprieties
or the etiquettes of Quranic recitation, one of the 40 books of
the year lemon Dean and inshallah Tada, we hope that this will be
means for both you and I to have a renewed relationship with Allah
subhanaw taala his book, and in sha Allah, what we'll be doing is
after today, which will be focusing on the introduction, we
will then be looking at the various etiquettes of Quranic
recitation, so that we can improve our relationship with Allah
subhanaw taala his book, so let's get right down into the material.
This means that the heme Alhamdulillah le M Tana at a
birdie, Lena V and Marcelo Salalah, a cinema Kitabi and Monza
la la, Praise be to Allah who has bestowed favor upon mankind by
sending His Prophet sallallahu Sallam and revealing his book, ie
the Quran.
And so this is one of the greatest blessings of all. For us to be
believers. This is the greatest blessing of all for us to be
believers in to have the Quran been sent to us through our
Prophet Muhammad SAW Allah Allah they sent him this is surely from
the divine favor. And then in description of this great book,
Allah subhanaw then, you know was it says, LED light to hit vaulted
on many a day he when I'm unhealthy 10 Zero min Hakeem and
Hamid to which falsehood cannot approach from before it, or from
behind it in which is a revelation from the all wise, the
praiseworthy
HUD that doesn't matter the analytical total quality bar we
have even in classes, one of bar, in consequence of this the path of
consideration from stories and reports of past events described
and it has become broad for men of reflection.
So this is the first thing that I found was it points us to all of
the opportunities in Allah subhanaw taala his book to take T
bot to learn lessons from the people of the past. And so it's
important to note here when we speak about Allah subhanaw taala
his book, the Quran has history in it, but it is not a book of
history.
And this is an important distinction that we make. There is
sacred history in the Quran. And if you really think about all
human events, everything that's ever happened from since the first
man until now, such that it can be considered to be history. How many
things is that that's how many things are there that could be
considered to be history and in unimaginable amount. Allah
subhanaw taala mentioned what was most important for us in his book,
so that we can learn about the archetypes of the people who came
before us. So that we can follow them if they are good and we can
avoid them if they are bad, but this is what T bar means. It means
to take lessons and it comes from the root of our Yarbrough which is
to cross so you cross from the outward
dimension of that particular event, or what is happening down
to the lesson that you learn from it. And so this is really what we
want. We want to think very carefully about our situation,
thinking very carefully about those who came before us. Try to
learn what those archetypes are, and then strive to look around us
and see how those archetypes manifest. This is of the utmost
importance. Because if we do not learn lessons from the people of
the past, we will become lessons for the people of the future. And
this applies in general, but it also applies to our own selves. If
we don't learn lessons from things that we've done, and they've gone
sour, or there's been repercussions because of what
we've done, then it will continue to happen and we will simply be a
lesson for other people. So we have to learn from people of the
past, just as we have to learn
from mistakes that you and I have made. And then you have this word
if T card that you use, which is points to reflection, and really
pondering deeply. Allah subhanaw taala this book, this is the month
to do this. And one of the things that I would recommend everybody
does, even if you can read Arabic, even if you understand much of
what you're reading loss upon todos book, I would highly
recommend that an English speaking person read a translation of the
meanings of the Quran. And if you're going to read one, I would
say read Professor Abdullah Helene's translation of the
meanings or the clear coat on by Dr. Mustafa Al hilltop, may Allah
to Allah preserve both of them, these really bring forth kind of
like a tafsir does some of the meanings of Allah subhanaw taala
his book, a translation is really almost like a tafsir it's a
transition of the meanings, because it is only the original
Arabic expression that has to be that can that can really give so
many meanings when you translate it into a language you are of
course translated in a very specific way. So I do recommend
this though, because sometimes in addition, sometimes we don't
reflect the way that we should upon hola todos book. And by
reading in addition to the Arabic in English, that you can
understand the translation and the meanings it helps you reflect upon
a lot that in his book, or then you could go back and just focus
on the Arabic but this is the month for reflection. This is the
month where you and I can ponder deeply the meanings of Allah
subhanaw taala his book so after mentioning the Quran and the
blessing that came that to the believers that ALLAH SubhanA then
that Imam was that he then says what Tada happy so local men had
going on set out to the Mr. Bean, be Mufasa Daffy minute,
well funded aka been in Hollywood haram. Then he says
and the traversing of the straight path by following the rules of
conduct he has expounded in it and by observing the distinction he
has made between the lawful and the unlawful has become clear to
mankind. So that
through the Quran, is that anyone who is traveling, a straight path,
a path of drawing near to Allah subhanahu wa Tada. They will find
everything that they need in the last book is that there is
detailed guidance about what to do.
And if we are sincere with our Lord, this will be something that
we allow to come to the surface of our heart because it exists within
us naturally. The wants in desire to be in conformity with the way
the loss of 100 has created creation. All human beings want to
be aligned at the depth of their being. But this is exactly what
guidance does. It enables us to do so. And I'm reminded when I speak
like that of early on before this abduct for gear into the into this
deen and believing in God, but not having guidance, not knowing what
to do. And I noticed what happens happened if you didn't have clear
guidance. You get dragged into a whole bunch of different things.
You end up doing things that will then derail you and be very
detrimental to your spiritual state. And when I was searching,
and really wanting some form of guidance when I came across Islam,
and I learned that what some of what is taught in the way that it
regulates every aspect of your life.
I welcome that wholeheartedly, in what a blessing to have guidance
on all matters, where we have guidance that gives details into
our gives details for us for everything that it is that we can
possibly do.
And this is really what we must all think about when we think
about the idea of this little optimal stocking. The straight
path
is that ultimately, every decision that we make, everything that is
that we do, will be various degrees in closest or distance
from the middle, which is that straight path right where we want
to be. And we have comprehensive guidance such that there's nothing
that we can do, there's nothing that we can even think about,
except that ultimately there is a way that we can do it in a way
that is most pleasing to Allah subhanho wa taala. And one of the
specific ways that this manifests is enriching to the outcome, the
legal rulings of the sacred law, which we all need, this is an
essential part of guidance, and then closely related to that the
halal and haram, what Allah has permitted, and what are the
various things that we have to avoid. So the Quran for Hua Alia
when Nora is an illumination, and a light will be in a jar to him,
and in war, Violet is obtained deliverance from air and deception
with a shifa on the mafioso door. And in it lies the healing of the
diseases, diseases that exist in the heart. So all of this is found
in Allah subhanaw taala, his book, and it is guidance, it is a light
for us so that you and I can know the way that we need to go. And it
will, it's Najat, Tillman and Nora, it will save us from
deception. And this is one of the amazing things that when you and I
read a lot to add his book, it will completely remove our
delusion if we listen, and we pay attention. And we reflect deeply
on for what it is that we're reciting. It will remove
all of these clouds that are covering our thoughts.
And one of the things that it's highly recommended
before that you have to make a major decision, something
important that you need to decide on.
It's highly advisable that you read a lot sopranos book, if you
can do an entire Hatha, from beginning to end a complete
reading. That's great, if not read a portion of the Quran.
Because sometimes our decisions are influenced by our how our
desires.
And when you read Allah subhanaw taala this book, it gives us the
perspective that we need to put everything in its proper place. If
indeed what was motivating us was some type of desire. That was
blameworthy. By reading the loss of hunters book, the door opened
up for us to have clarity. And then hopefully we'll be given
Tofik from Allah enabling grace to do what is right.
And it's also a Shiva is a Shiva the math is pseudocode for that
which is in our hearts, the Quran is there to heal us 100 Zero
mineral Qurani. Now what she thought on what I have written in
what we mean, we reveal this Quran with that which is a Shiva healing
and a mercy for the believers. And the more we embrace the meanings
of this book, the more that we will become healthy in whole
internally.
Men who are left for home in algebra Bira can somehow law
whoever goes against it, in contradicts it from powerful men,
Allah subhanaw taala will break their backs
that the jib aberra are tyrants who are completely wreaking havoc
in the earth. And this is really important because there are
definitely many verses that are considered to be majestic and a
lot to this book. And we live in a in a world where there is so much
injustice. And when you read what Allah subhanaw taala says is going
to happen to people who spread corruption and evil in the earth.
You realize there's a lord who's in control of everything.
We have a Lord who is in control of everything. And even though we
are drawn into believing that some
How that everything is going to play out ultimately, in this
world, we know through belief, this is the nature of the dunya.
It's always going to be like this. But there are consequences for our
actions Yamo gamma.
So it gives us a perspective that you and I need to have about what
is happening in the world. It gives us a perspective of how to
understand injustice, and how to understand tyranny, and people who
do terrible things, and the consequences of their actions, so
that you and I can put everything in its proper place, and making
sure that if something's wrong, that we hate that wrong, and at
the same time that we do what it is that we're supposed to do,
outwardly in relation to that wrong, and helping if there's some
way that we can do that woman Abdullah anma theory about the
whole law, if anyone seeks knowledge from other than the
Quran, Allah will lead them astray. And what is meant by that
is the Quran gives us the found the Quran gives us knowledge,
whereby which all other knowledge that we can acquire, has to be
understood through the knowledge that we get through the Quran
and the Quran that opens up our minds so that we can have true
knowledge. And then, as we in this doesn't mean that we don't acquire
other types of knowledge but it gives us the perspective that we
need to incorporate other types of knowledge into a worldview of
Tawheed and if people have knowledge that is not informed,
that are in contradiction to Allah subhanaw taala his book, this is
where we know is that they will start to fall into air, who are
hablo law and Mateen that it is the firmly held rope of Allah. It
is the strong rope of Allah and will inaudible moonbeam and it is
his apparent or clear light. What underwater what call it is the
firmest handhold went to summit Oh call and the most dependable
support will in Mojito Ville Khalili will Kathir.
No. And it encompasses that
things will that all different things are encompassed a little in
a lot as was severe will cover small in great Latin called the
aija Evo is that its wonders will never end, what not at the na hora
ibux. And it's amazing aspects will never finish. What are you
here to be for what at the end alhfam de Hadid and the benefits
that it has yet it gives can never be limited.
So what are we learning is that every time that we come to Allah
subhanaw taala as a book it gives, there's more that we learn,
there's more benefit that we derive.
And then that no matter how many times that we recite it, we never
have what's called melon boredom, the Quran continues to give. And
there's a hadith that says that Allah subhanaw taala Mel had the
terminal. And then we we translate that is, as long as we don't
become bored and worship Allah will continue to give us reward
for it. And this is the nature of of humankind, we become bored,
fairly easy. And so from the blessing of Allah, we have a lot
of different types of worship, so that we don't get afflicted with
boredom.
And we should strive though to purify our hearts so that the
heart becomes pure. So that that never even crosses the mind. That
never even comes to the heart, ie that we get bored and even saying
that I was the biller with Allah subhanaw taala his book is
extremely bad and bad manners. And as a commandment, I found the
great kill of said lo behold out good Obinna mercial Vietnam
antibiotic Quran that were our hearts to become pure, we would
never become satiated from the recitation of the Quran. We would
always want to have more, do more and do more. And then we heard the
we heard the verse in the previous session with us that Amgen would
have the other said that Oh, would you want Oh honey, one of my
cereal Jen. Let me it was in Waldo era Kimmy moondream of all in
Santa Ana Khurana and Javon. Yeah Did Rushdie for him and Obi Wan

Allah's book has been given Tofik enabling Grace run Allah woman

clings to it will be guided woman I made a movie called FAS and
whoever acts upon it will surely be successful. Will call call it
Tada. In Neverland, Zina Lika no longer have you known. Indeed, We
have sent down the reminder, and indeed that we have taken it upon
ourselves to preserve it. A loss of 100 data has preserved his
book, he has preserved the
he has preserved that every single letter of his book subhanho wa
taala, has preserved the meanings of his book, he's preserved the
recitation of his book, and this will remain preserved until Allah
subhanaw taala wants to lift it here, the book of Allah subhanho
data from Earth, it's been protected by ALLAH from any type
of distortion, and at 100 Allah, anyone that has been in scholarly
circles, and visited the Muslim world, and met people that have
memorized Allah subhanaw taala his book, and are masters of the
science of Quranic recitation, because we then have sat with
scholars who know tafsir and exploration of the meanings and
can explain aroma Quran and the various sciences associated with
the Quran, will come to know with certainty that Allah subhanaw
taala his book is preserved, as he said, tobacco data woman as babby,
hefty Villa Cordova Messiah st dam to Tilawat it. So then he's going
to now shift towards what it is that he's really going to be
speaking about. So he said, from the meanings of the preservation
of lotta barcode data, his book in the hearts and in the Masahito,
that is copies of the Quran is continual recitation of it. This
is one of the ways that the book of Allah data is preserved. And I
highly, highly recommend if you look at trends, that talk about
percentages of other faith based communities in relation to certain
types of worship.
The closer and closer that we get to the end of time, these
percentages drop in relation to these different forms of worship.
And so one of the statistics that is dropping is people's reading of
Scripture. And there's a lot of Muslims who might even be
practicing Muslims who pray five daily prayers a day, but they
don't read the Quran regularly. The Quran should be recited every
single day, by ourselves, in our homes, in our apartments, in our
places of worship, and in other places. And we should also strive
to learn the meanings of Allah subhanaw taala his book, if we're
struggling with recitation, we should learn how to recite Allah's
book, just as we should learn the meanings of his books and handle
the data so that we can bring this to life. And this is one of the
great ways for the Quran to be preserved. One word about
diversity.
And also, continuously studying it might have a piano maybe a W or
sruti, while upholding its conditions and etiquettes. And
making sure to do what it is that we should be doing outward, the an
Edward Lee, and this is what he's going to speak about in this
lesson book. The first chapter speaks about the father of Quran,
the merit of the Quran and its people. And since also the Amgen
is going to be speaking about that in his lessons, we're going to
skip over that and move to the Domitilla will FUBAR the various
etiquettes of Quranic recitation outwardly, and then inshallah to
Allah we will get to the detailed inward etiquettes of recitation of
Allah subhanho ZBook in hopes that our relationship will increase in
this lesson month with Allah some poems on his book, may Allah
attach our hearts to the Quran where we come to love the Quran,
and may we dedicate ourselves to learning the Quran and have an
increased understanding of the Quran. Yeah, Mohammed Amin, may
Allah subhanaw taala bless each of you who recite it by day and by
night and who will put it into practice into practice in a way
that is pleasing to Allah subhana wa Tada wa salam ala had I seen
Muhammad and by the ad Yusaku Salam Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
