الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له واشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعاليه وعاليه وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بيحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد في هذا الفيديو بإذن الله الكريم أريد أن أتحدث عن رمضان وشهر القرآن رمضان هو قرآن وقرآن هو قرآن الله سبحانه وتعالى خسر القرآن شهر رمضان危ها صدق الله أعلم لله هو إن it was in a month of Ramadan in which the Quran was sent down لذا هناك ذلك المنطقة البداية من القرآن كانت في رمضان في المنطقة المنطقة المنطقة المنطقة المنطقة وإذا كنت تظهر at the early pious predecessors سلف الصالح رضوان الله عليه مجمعين They understood that and their thick incomprehension of the religion الموضوع أن في هذا month It's the month of Quran and we are reviving the Quran وفي ذلك I'm going to give you some of the self and how they were in the Quran and how we should be when it comes to the Quran in this month of Ramadan إذا كنت تنسى the Quran and left the Quran in the other month here's an opportunity نضع نفسنا إلى روتيل المساعدة في القرآن very often and frequently ألمام الشافعي محمد من وإدريس الشافعي قلت about him that he recited the quran in رمضان 60 ختمة 60 times that would mean he was finishing the quran twice a day 60 ختمة he was finishing the quran twice a day in the morning and at night this is what my beloved brother and sisters that wasn't the salah included يعني these recitations these two recitations per day 60 recitations in the whole entire month of رمضان was from outside the salah and he prayed in the salah was additional it was said قتاده he was an individual who teach the quran في شهر رمضان إنه مثل رمضان يعني he would stop everything else ألمام محمد من الشهاب زهري it was said إذا دخل رمضان if the month of Ramadhan entered قاله فإنما هو تلاوة القرآن وإطعم that's what he would say if Ramadhan entered زهري would say إنما هو تلاوة القرآن this month is the month of reciting the quran it is the month giving and feeding إذا دخل رمضان if Ramadhan entered يفر من قراءة الحديد ومجالسة أهل العلم وأقبل على تلاوة القرآن من المصحف رحمه الله if the month of Ramadhan entered he would run away from reciting حديث يعني قراءة الحديث he would abandon it and he would leave it and he would also run away from sitting with the people of knowledge and what would he do أقبل على تلاوة القرآن من المصحف he would take a and he would read the quran from it that's what he would do because this is what they were they were who understood فضل زمان they knew the virtue of places and they knew the virtues of time يعني there are times in the year where there is a particular action that is befitting for that particular timing and that is a lot of in the religion you're a very knowledgeable person if you know what to do at what particular place يعني we know that the quran is the best zikr is that not the case but you're not allowed to recite the quran in prostration in sujud and the sujud is the time when you're the most closest to Allah the time when the slave is the most closest to Allah is when he's in prostration when his face is on the ground sujud is when you're the most closest to Allah and the zikr the quran is the best of zikr with that being said they don't go together so not every single action should be done at a particular time the quran and ramadan are like that they are bonded stuck together and the slave understood that it's not about reciting hadiths this particular month how great it is to read hadith and how virtuous it is to read hadith and how important it is to study the religion but they knew that this month was not that this month was the reciting of the quran so aliman malik would run away from sitting with the people of knowledge he wouldn't sit with them he wouldn't also recite hadith what he would do is he would turn to reciting the quran from the mushaf and aliman malik was an alim who knew the quran but he was still reading from the mushaf sofiana thawriou he said if ramadan entered he would leave all of the worship he would leave all acts of worship and accept the quran and sofiana thawriou will turn towards the recitation of the quran because it's the reality of this month and the truth and the importance of the quran in this particular month so aliman malik said in his lines of poetry وإن كتاب الله أو ثق شافع وأظن غناء واهبا متفضلة وخير جليس لا يمل حديثه وترداده يزداد فيه تجمل he said وخير جليس لا يمل حديثه that the quran is the best thing to sit with it's the best companion to be with وخير جليس لا يمل حديثه and you never become bored the quran the stories and the information and the events that he wants to tell you and the rulings and the regulations you don't get tired of hearing it وترداده the repetition of the quran what happened يزداد فيه تجمل repetition of the quran increases in beauty the more you read the quran the more it becomes beautiful so that's why they would read it a lot and they would read it a lot here I want to stop over a little a little point even though it has no direct relationship with my series my series is not about and rulings and regulations it's more of things that we can do and implement in our lives but there is a that I want to go to and I want to speak about which is I mentioned he read the quran 60 times in the month of Ramadhan and that means he would read it he would finish the quran twice a day some of the scholars they critiqued Al-Imam al-Shafi'i for this the scholars who came after they critiqued Al-Imam al-Shafi'i for this and they said that this was an action that was done by Shafi'i which he wasn't correct and he opposes no the Prophet ﷺ and from the people who did that was when he did the the quran 60 times in the month of Ramadhan and Al-Imam al-Shafi'i mentions in his year that Al-Imam al-Shafi'i recited the quran 60 times in the month of Ramadhan at the bottom of the book he placed a footnote and he said that this action of Al-Imam al-Shafi'i is in opposition to the sunnah and he mentioned that he opposes the statement of the Prophet ﷺ where he said to Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Aas not to recite the quran in less than three days and the Prophet ﷺ said to him لا يفقه من قرأ القرآن في أقل من ثلاثين and the Prophet ﷺ said to Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Aas that he hasn't truly comprehended a person hasn't truly comprehended the Qur'an if he reads it in less than three days so sheikh Shuaib Ar-Nau pushed this and he said that Al-Imam al-Shafi'i's action is not in accordance to the sunnah so what I want to do is I want to respond to that and also enlighten other people to this answer العلامة يبنو رجب الحمبر يبنو رجب الحمبر و يتكلم did was he brought in his And what Ibn Rajab did was he brought in his especially when he was talking about شهر رمضان he mentions in the Ibn Rajab some of the statements that I just mentioned some of the statements of Sofiana Thoury and Malika and others he mentioned many more after mentioning that Ibn Rajab mentioned البيت of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم عبدالله من عمر الله يقول to him do not recite the Qur'an in less than three days إبن رجب says it means not to make this your norms يعني what is the prohibition is restricted to المدعومة والاستمرار not to make this your norms and to not make this something you do all the time that you every single time you're going to finish the Qur'an in less than three days and that's how you always like the prohibition applies to that but the prohibition does not apply to it doesn't apply to a person who does it in the month of Ramadan because the month of Ramadan is a month specific designated for the recitation of the Qur'an and that's the understanding of the Salaf قاطبة يعني you can say it's a consensus amongst the Salaf that they used to recite the Qur'an in less than three days so that's how we understand the statement of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم وهي ساد لا يفقه من قرأ القرآن في أقل في أقل لا من ثلاث the same way that the Qur'an bonded the fasting with the Qur'an so did the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the Prophet mentioned them together fasting and the Qur'an the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said الصيام والقرآن يشفعان للعبدي يوم القيامة that the fasting and the Qur'an are both going to intercede for its people the day of judgment يعني fasting and reciting the Qur'an are both going to intercede for its people the day of judgment يقول الصيام the fasting will say اي ربي مناعته الطعام والشهواتي بنهاري the fasting will say my Lord I have prohibited him from eating and fulfilling his desires at day all day he couldn't fulfill his desires he couldn't eat I was the one who prevented him from it فشفعني فيه Oh Allah allow me to intercede for him ويقول القرآن و the Qur'an will say ماناعته النوم بالليلي the Qur'an will say I prevented him from sleeping at night and all night he was awake praying and reciting me فشفعني فيه Oh Allah allow me to intercede for him فا يوشفعاني and both of them are going to intercede for their people the intercession will be accepted and granted for them افنه here the Qur'an was mentioned with fasting that shows you the strong bond between the two in this حديث there's a powerful point which is the Qur'an is something that prevents you from sleeping at night and a person who knows the Qur'an he's known for not sleeping the whole entire night he's known for waking up part of the night to pray عبدالله من المسؤول then he said ينبغي لحامل القرآن ويُعرف بليليه إذا ناسنا إيمون عبدالله من المسؤول then he said it is required and it is necessary from the individual who's carrying the Qur'an who's memorized the Qur'an he should be known for his praying at night when the people choose to sleep وبنهاره إذا ناس مفطيرون and he should also be known for fasting the daytime when the people are not fasting وبيحزنه إذا ناس يفرحون and he should be known for his fear and his sadness when the people are laughing and joking وبيبكاء إذا ناس يضحكون and he's crying when the people are laughing وبيصمته إذا ناس يخوضون and he's known for his silence when the people choose to indulge in speech and speak and the person of the Qur'an is always distinct from the rest of the people he's known for his night prayer he's also known for his fasting daytime he's known for being saddened by the religious issues and always worried and concerned about the dean when the people are laughing and joking he's known for his crying when the people are laughing he's known for his silence when the people are speaking and they're indulging into things they don't have no knowledge of يعني the Qur'an what it does to the people of the Qur'an is that it changes their lives it revolutionizes their life they become something else it was said to a man one day مالي لا أراكة نام why is it that I don't see you sleep at night one of the salaf it was said to him why is it that we don't see you sleep at night why are you not sleeping why are you always awake at night he said إن عجائب القرآن أطرنا نوني that the fascinations and the amazement that is in the Qur'an has deprived me from my sleeping ما أخرج من ما أخرج I do not leave من عجوبة إلا وقعت في غيرها I don't leave one fascination and one amazement in the Qur'an except that it takes me to another amazing thing about it يعني I am going through a trail of amazement one after the other I am taken back by one story after another story after one ruling after one statement here and the Qur'an is just amazing that's why I can't sleep at night because they pondered over the Qur'an they thought over the Qur'an they knew the purpose of why the Qur'an was set down Allah tells us in the Qur'an كتاب أنزلناه إليك مبارك ليدبروا آياته وليتذكروا الألباب الله says كتاب أنزلناه مبارك the Qur'an is a book we set down مبارك and it's a blessed book يعني blessed it's a book full of blessings الله says كتاب أنزلناه إليك مبارك ليدبروا آياته so you can ponder over its verses the Qur'an was set down for pondering here some people may say but if I have to finish the Qur'an رمضان like رمضان like رمضان 60 times for instance or I finish the Qur'an once a day how am I going to combine that with pondering over the Qur'an how do I combine between reciting a lot and pondering over the Qur'an that's a very strong question that's a very good question the answer to that question is what some of the Salaf رحمه الله used to do they divided their recitation even in the month of Ramadhan and outside Ramadhan they divided their recitations there was a recitation that they would finish consistently يعني very frequently and there was a recitation that was ongoing and it carried on وليدارك some of the scholars they said answering this question they said لي في كل جمعة ختمة every Friday there's a khatma يعني every Friday I have a khatma where I have to finish the Qur'an and every Friday he's finished the Qur'an once وفي كل شهر ختمة يعني every once a week he finishes the Qur'an Friday to Friday he finishes the Qur'an once وفي كل شهر ختمة and every month I have one khatma وفي كل سنة ختمة and every year I have one khatma ولي ختمة منذ 30 سنة ما فرغت منها بعد and I also have a recitation that's ongoing for 30 years that I haven't still completed so that shows you there was a weekly finishing of the Qur'an some of the Salaf they only finish the Qur'an every 7 days every week he would finish the Qur'an once there was also another recitation that was once a month so there was pondering over there as well gives it more time and then there was that يالي one which once a year he would finish that one he would ponder over it and there's another one which was 30 years still going on and I haven't finished that one that's the deepest deepest تدبر of the Qur'an we all have to understand the Salaf and how they did things رحمه الله some people now they think a person is a Qari this individual they call him Qari and they think Qari means he's memorized the Qur'an and his pronunciation and his articulation of the letters of the Qur'an is so good يعني he's a Qari and so before his name they put Qari so and so but being a Qari is more than that my beloved brothers and sisters especially in the إطلاق of the Salaf especially when you look at the early generation and their usage of the word for them a Qari was different to what we may use it as حسن البصلي رحمه الله he said والله ما تدبره بحفظ حروفه وإضاعت حدوده حتى إن أحدهم لا يقول قرأة القرآن كله ما يرى له القرآن في خلق ولا عمل الإمام حسن البصلي he said والله by Allah he has not pondered on the Qur'an a person who has mainly memorized the letters and forsaken the rulings and the regulations of the Qur'an يعني he's memorized the wordings but he has forsaken the boundaries that was set by the Qur'an he's forsaken he doesn't care he's called a Qari and his beard he shaved it he smokes he goes clubbing يعني وإضاعت حدوده and he forsaken the boundaries that was set by the Qur'an إن أحدهم لا يقول some of them may even say to you قرأت القرآن كله I read the Qur'an in its entirety I read the Qur'an in its entirety all of it ما يرى له القرآن وفي قلقين ولا عملين and the Qur'an cannot be seen in this person's manners and etiquettes nor can it be seen in that person's actions so look at the Salaf فهم تدبر meant you memorized the wordings and you also implemented and you lived by the boundaries that was set by the Qur'an that you didn't become a person who just memorized the wordings but then whatever it's telling you you don't understand you're coming across verses and those verses are actually applying to you before anyone else you're saying may Allah's curse be upon their presses and the first oppressor here is yourself have you really memorized the Qur'an does memorizing the Qur'an only mean you memorize its wordings or does it mean that you've memorized its boundaries and you've understood those boundaries that you need to stay within that's what حسن البصري you said and the statement of حسن البصري is still longer than that he went into more in regards to that you can find it in the Kitab أخلاق أهل القرآن باية لمام الأجرير رحمه الله أخلاق أحملة القرآن باية لمام الأجرير رحمه الله so this episode what I wanted to bring to light is the bond and the relationship between the Qur'an and fasting and how we should revive the Qur'an in this month if the Qur'an has gathered dust this is the month that we clear the dust of it and we go back to it and not only do we just recite it in Ramadan but Ramadan becomes the starting point بإذن الله الكريم for an ongoing continuous relationship between us and the book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaytan and that Allah and His messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك الشد والله إله إلا الله السلام عليكم if you're enjoying these videos and you'd like to keep up to date with all of the courses we're
