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

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

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.

00:08:08 --> 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.
