Muslims,
we give respect to the Quran, hamdullilah. But
many of us,
they go beyond the limit.
They give so much respect
that they forget for what purpose the Quran
was revealed.
You know, we keep the Quran on the
top most shelf.
They keep it so much on top that
difficult to reach, and the Quran catches dust.
You know, the Quran is a book of
guidance.
It's a guidebook.
Suppose if you are studying, you know, it's
kept on a shelf which you can reach
the easiest.
You won't keep it on top. Very difficult.
I'll take a stool to get it down.
So Quran in the book, we should be
referred every day.
It should be handy.
And many of us Muslims, you know, we
tie the Quran in a pure silk cloth,
and then we tie a knot on it.
Suppose if you want to read the Quran,
you start thinking, okay, 5 minutes to open
the Quran.
5 minutes again to tie the Quran. 10
minutes.
The thought of you opening the Quran and
again tying it
will be a deterrent. And if you have
10 minutes,
if you have 10 minutes
time, you know, to open the Quran, go
10 minutes, better not read the Quran. See,
we have to respect the Quran, but the
main respect is in the heart. I'm not
against keeping the Quran on top. Don't get
me wrong. But see to it that it
is accessible.
It's easily available for guidance.
