Hey. What's up?

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

Hi, everyone. Thanks for tuning in to a

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

new episode of Queen of the Deen.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

And, we're in the 2nd season. Alhamdulillah.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:18

So

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

today,

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

I'm going to be interviewing

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

a very special lady. So for the very

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

first time,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

we're gonna be interviewing,

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

Sheikha on the show. Her name is Sheikha

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

Zainab. Sheikha Zainab is an Ustazah who teaches

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

Al Quran to women and children.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

She also trains people on how to teach

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

others to recite the Quran. Ustazah Zainab received

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

her Ijazah with Sanad in Quran Taj and

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

memorization from Algeria where she is originally from.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

She recently completed her master's in Quran and

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

Sunnah from the International Islamic University of Malaysia.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

Yay. Alhamdulillah. We're here.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

I hope I'm not too late to meet,

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

Sheikha.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

Hi. How are you? I'm good.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

Nice to see you today. Nice to meet

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

you too.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

I can't wait to do

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

The entire page of the Quran is first

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

written by hand, and then it goes through

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

the computer for digital cross checking for more

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

than 10 times, and then it proceeds to

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

its final stage of digital printing.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

The reading and recitation is checked again after

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

it's printed.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

The mission of Yahya San Rastoo is to

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

spread the message of Islam throughout the world

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

to strengthen the faith of Muslims and revive

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

the field of Islamic arts.

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

We are here now at, Nyasa and Ristu.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

Inshallah, we're gonna be trying to do a

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

bit of calligraphy while I ask you a

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

few questions. No problem.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

For, the people out there who don't know

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

what you do, please do give me a

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

little bit of a background of of yourself.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

Okay. Bismillahirrahmanullahi.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

Alhamdulillahi. I'm a teacher of Quran. Mhmm. Since

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

more than 12 years,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

teaching Quran, alhamdulillah.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

Since I was a kid, I start to

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

learn Quran.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

Alhamdulillah, I, finished memorization,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

in my country in Algeria with my Sheikh.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

Alhamdulillah. After that, when we finished memorization,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

he chose some of us to be,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

to give us, Ijeza. Ijeza is the sonnet.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

Since that you read the whole Quran from

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

the beginning until the end, he will listen

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

to you with the different ways.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

So you have to to practice how to

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

pronounce correctly, how to pronounce every harp,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

every letter

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

in correct way. So after that, like, I

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

took it from my sheikh. I read the

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

code and, and he listened to me. He

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

the same thing do it from his sheikh

00:03:01 --> 00:03:01

until

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

we reach the prophet, so

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

it will be like a chain from you

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

until the prophet,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

so, to Allah.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

Sheikha Zainab believes that the key to learning

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

and reciting the Quran is to ensure her

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

students have the right pronunciation of every letter.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

And once this has been learned, you'll know

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

how to read a sentence correctly, which will

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

then lead to reciting the whole Quran smoothly.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

Ustasa Zainab also has interesting ways of teaching

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

children from various games and contests.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

Many of her students have won a number

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

of Quran recitation competitions.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

So

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

in in your journey of, teaching,

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

of learning and teaching the Quran Mhmm. What

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

is your main inspiration and motivation

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

to to you continuing

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

your journey and your teaching?

00:03:54 --> 00:03:54

Okay.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

Sometimes if I stay for example for 1

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

week or 2 weeks, I don't teach. I

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

feel that something missing in my life. Mhmm.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

I cannot I feel that I have to

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

do. I cannot how come that my time

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

is going without teaching even any

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

one person or

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

only one letter. Mhmm. So it's something you

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

would feel that is missing. SubhanAllah.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

As you know, the prophet said,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

the best among you who learn or end.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

So after you learn what you have to

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

do, you should teach.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

Yeah. So it's 2 ways. Learn first, then

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

go to

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

teach.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:34

Okay.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

So this is our very first,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

not very first attempt but together No. To

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

do a bit of calligraphy

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

and freehand. Yeah. Mind you, we didn't trace

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

anything. Mhmm.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

Yours is so nice. No. Yours is looks

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

so nice.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

Color. You just go through a hand like

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

this. So a? A plus? Oh, great.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

Okay.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:05

So now we are here at coloring department

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

and, this is where they do a lot

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

of the intricate paintings for this type of

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

design as you can see in the mus'haf.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

And, there is a special Arabic term for

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

this. Okay. And masha'Allah, the designs are so

00:05:19 --> 00:05:19

beautiful.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

Coming back to the

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

Quran, you know, sometimes I find that we

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

tend to really focus too much on,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

reading the Quran properly and we forget to

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

act upon the Quran. How important is it

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

to actually have this other part of of

00:05:36 --> 00:05:36

Quran?

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

Actually, the main idea of having Quran, we

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

have to understand. Mhmm.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

And there are many aya talking about the

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

thebur. Mhmm. So you will learn and understand,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

SubhanAllah.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

There is this, point of tadabur.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

Tadabur,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

it doesn't mean you go through all the

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

tafsir.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

Okay. It's like maybe one ayah, you can

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

understand something Allah will send you understanding

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

that maybe no one understand it. I heard

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

many people,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

they change their life just by one ayah

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

when they understand the meaning of this ao.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

Mhmm. So they try to to change their

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

life. So it's very, very important to get

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

all this pronunciation, our recitation,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

reflection Mhmm. And how to apply how to

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

apply that in our life.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

It says a line up. We are going

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

to play a game. Because usually every time

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

we do an episode of Queen of the

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

Deen, there's a challenging game. So for this

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

one,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

we will be given a name of Surah.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

Mhmm. And we have to draw something that's

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

got to be related to the Surah.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

Oh my god. It's a very hard game.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

Anything. Okay. I will try my best.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Take a long time I didn't draw, you

00:06:56 --> 00:06:56

know.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

Okay.

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

So we should relax. Can I add a

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

a fourth leg or cannot? Okay. Okay. It's

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

Yeah. Okay. We're still up. Ready?

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

Okay.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

It's supposed to be a cow. Yeah.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:16

It's

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

the

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

cow.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

Oh my gosh. Do you know what they

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

think? Ashom's is,

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

how do I draw?

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

And it's, Jordan. It's, Palestine. We let her

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

continue or we should tell her? Where is

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

it? Where is it?

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

Sun.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

Oh, it's the sun. Yeah. The sun. Yes.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

Asham's.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

Is he right? Yeah. Okay. Okay. I can

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

do it. I can do this. Oh, your

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

son is smiling. I love it.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

This is shimps for, for children. But your

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

Is it? From Oh, it's an abstract.

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

Oh, I know. I know. Related.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

Related. Okay. Okay.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:05

Oh, you've got texture.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:09

Okay.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

What is that, Elisa? It's a boat.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

Look. There's the sea and there's the fish.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

The fish is there, Elisa. Yeah.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

Oh, I forgot. You look like where you're

00:08:25 --> 00:08:25

staying. Yeah.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

You have to have k. You can just

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

see a real bee. Yeah.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

Yeah. Do something here?

00:08:35 --> 00:08:36

Very hard.

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

Oh, okay. Mine, you shouldn't see. Just like

00:08:41 --> 00:08:41

a meal.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

Yay. We did it. Yeah. I'm good. We

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

survived. We did. Yay.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

Okay.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

So we are in the gallery here.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:56

And,

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

there's so many beautiful,

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

drawings and writings of the Quran. Indeed. It's

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

so beautiful. It's so beautiful. And I don't

00:09:04 --> 00:09:05

think there's many places like this

00:09:08 --> 00:09:08

in

00:09:11 --> 00:09:11

the

00:09:14 --> 00:09:14

world.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19

So, okay. What would your advice be for

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

people who want to learn

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

and also teach the Quran?

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

Is this something like when we learn the

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

Quran, we need to aim that yes, I

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

can teach this also? Yeah. It's very important.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

Actually, the first thing, you have to bring

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34

your Ikhlas with you, the sincere. Okay. Bring

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

it with you and just go ahead and

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

Allah will make it easy to you. You

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

have to be patient. Don't say that I

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

cannot. It's impossible for me. I cannot learn.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43

It's like we have to give it time.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

Okay. We shouldn't let it like as like

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

if I have free time, extra time, okay,

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

I will give it time. No. It's not

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

like we have to feel that it's the

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

most important thing in our life.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

So have to be good intention with Ikhlas,

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

be patient and go ahead. Every time, keep

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01

in your mind that

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

Quran.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

If you teach your children or your,

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

mother or father or anybody.

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

Yeah. Anyone you can teach him, you will

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

get the blessing of, of the Of course.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

Oh. So whatever you learn, try to teach

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

it to the others. The rewards will come

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

back to you. It will come back to

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

you. Oh my god. Even you died, you

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

are in your grave, but still,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

the bank of rewards

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

is still working after you. Sometimes

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

I wonder how do we continue to keep

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

having good deeds even after we pass away,

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

and this is it. Yeah. By passing on

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

your knowledge of Quran.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

To the final question,

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

what is the biggest change you would like

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

to see in the world today?

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

We would like to see the peace in

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

our as Muslims, we have the key. The

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

key is Quran. We have to return back

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

to Quran, not only reading, but we try

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

to apply it in our life. Mhmm. And

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

we'll keep this

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
