 فشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي وانا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال اقرأ القرآن فإنه يأتي يوم القيامة شافي عن لأصحابه رواه رسلم هناك اشيء نريد ان نتحدث عنه which is رمضان some people say I want to read the Qur'an I want to go in ويمام مشافي عي was said that he used to finish the Qur'an how many times in Ramadan 60 times he would finish it twice a day are you with me brothers pay attention are you guys listening yeah Ahmed twice a day who finishes and who can say here they finish more than once in Ramadan it's little right little if you finish the Qur'an once in Ramadan that is amazing right now he finishes it twice a day 60 times in the month of Ramadan so here's a question brothers the scholars they have a big discussion about which is that the prophet peace and blessings be upon him reading and finishing the Qur'an in less than three days the prophet what he prohibited it from him so how do you reconcile between that also another question that might arise which one is better that I read a lot and get the reward by reading it or should I read a little and I get the reward of understanding and pondering over it which is better than which pay attention okay the more you read the more rewarding you get صحيح brothers are you with me because the prophet peace and blessings be upon him told us every letter you read you get to what ten reward okay good then we have another issue which is somebody is going to say أخي لكن أولا فلا يتدبرون القرآن على قلوب أقفالها أفلا يتدبروا القول أم جاءهم إليكم مباركوا ليتدبروا إليكم مباركوا ليتدبروا آيات وليتذكروا للألبان قرآن سنة تدبر تدبر تدبر so this person said I want to ponder on the Qur'an وليدالك لبنو جريل طبريا رحم الله he said عجبت لقومن fascination with the people يقرأوا القرآن they read the Qur'an ولا يلتدو به people who read the Qur'an they don't find the sweetness of it they don't enjoy it the reason why a person won't enjoy the Qur'an my brothers and sisters is what عدم وفهمه وإدراكه ودرايته you don't know it if you don't understand the Qur'an it becomes something you don't know and something you don't know won't have an effect on you and you will not ponder on it صحيح you won't وليدالك when I looked at the sciences in the religion that's been given the most care and most care and the most effort it's been given to the Qur'an and its sciences has been given the least it's shocking isn't it the least and اخوانا as I said before شراف العلمي بشرفه معلوم وليدالك the poet would say to know these sciences it's just taking out time and brothers wanting to know the Qur'an the last Ramadan came you didn't ponder because you didn't know it this Ramadan came you're still doing the same thing you still don't know it the next year Ramadan is going to come the same problem is going to happen are you with me brothers so what is it that's needed from us brothers to understand the Qur'an so here we're going to talk about the issue of what's better now can I read it first of all is it permissible for me to read the Qur'an in less than 3 days can I finish it can I do what Imam Shafi' did in summary what's the brother's issue help him brothers help him he's looking for something okay I want to finish the Qur'an in less than 3 days is it permissible can I go like Imam Shafi' and others we say yes no doubt you can you can finish the Qur'an in Ramadan as much as you wish I'm going to read the statement of Imam and then explain it Imam says in his Kitab this book by the way is a very powerful book and I advise you all to get it this book لطائف المعارف talks about the yearly cycle what the Prophet used to do each month each month what was the Prophet's most what did he focus on رجب صفر وحرم شعبان what was it that he focused on but when you look at ربيع in the beginning you never find that he celebrated his birthday in there صح I don't know why and there's many books like that ابن سني he has a book called عمل اليومي والليلة and Imam النسائي he also has this Kitab عمل اليومي والليلة and other scholars they've written the Prophet's action through the cycle of the year what he used to do so when a month comes in what you want to do is what you just want to say I want to do the thing that the Prophet used to do in this month so in this book he says he's talking about Ramadan now he says this is the month of Ramadan he says it was for him not to do this consistently and continuously don't make it your norm don't make it if wash the money in His Holy Bible and it's not for the people it's someone else they kind of write and calculate what do you do and what do you do and to do and doing andnan maybe and take this because Ishaq I don't know how do I do or do I write or do I until لا تفعل هذا ماذا؟ لا تفعل هذا بحياتك إنما ورد النهي عن قراءة القرآن في أقل من ثلاث على المداومة when you make this your norms your day to day this is how you do every time على ذلك فأما الأوقات المفضلة but when you see a time when you say you know what شهر رمضان came in this is the best official time صح he said this is an exception I can through the year don't do it consistently but when Ramadan comes this is an exception because something has happened here which is called أوقات المفضلة this time is a time which is not no more like the rest of the year so the action is also not going to be treated as the other times of the year one and another thing which he mentions وخصوصا اللي اللي لتي تطلب فيها ليلة القدر especially the night of Lailة القدر even more the night you should read more القرآن أو في الأماكن المفضلة or if you go to the Ka'ba in your Makkah take the Mus'haf this is again another virtuous place صح كماكة لمن دخل من غيري حالة you're not from the people of Makkah this is not where you live you've come for umrah I have to finish the Quran 10 times if I can finish it in a day why not because the place is what مكان المفضلة are you with me فا يستحبوا اكتاروا فيها من تلاث القرآن it's love for you to read the Quran a lot اغتنام اللي فضيلة زماني والمكان because you want to benefit from the time and the place so imagine if you go to Ramadan and Makkah الله أكبر غنيما you got what Ramadan and the Ka'ba who could beat you and you got the Quran الله أكبر the غنيما that's called the spoils of war brothers غنيما the belief what did you do he did he did and that's why I'm trying to now compile some quotes and I've now reached up to 48 quotes 49 or 48 48 quotes of the Selef in regards to looking at the Musa the virtue that it has statements of this the virtue of looking at the Musa first of all I wanted to make it 40 حديث 40 statements of the Selef and I can make it up to more just the virtue not reading if you're half of the Hada don't do it get the most half there's another there's a lot of خيلة I don't want to go into that now so brothers us Muslims what are we taught we're the ones who value time and it's sad that we're the ones who are always late for appointments that's the saddest thing we're the religion who is about time and place which religion tells people five times a day you have to pray why are you told to pray five times a day one of the wisdom is for you to keep track of time your day is not unrestricted just wherever they can wake up in the morning and leave and not know what's happening right but you would have to keep track because you need to pay though right أسر وغريب عشا you need to know what time it is if it's day if it's night صح and it's sad that the religion that's like that it's people are the most when it comes to the issue of are you giving me a Muslim time are you giving me are you giving me a Muslim time are you giving me the western time which one are you giving me that shows that it's a problem now there's manners that are needed when you're reading the Quran these are the following manners number one brothers when you're reading Quran in the month of Ramadan come with sincerity are you reading brothers I missed the point I had to mention which is the issue of which one is better the pondering or the reading are you there brothers in Ramadan because the time is restricted and when you're in Makkah because the time is restricted and you're not from the people of Makkah the reading the amount is better than the pondering are you with me brothers but outside Ramadan the pondering takes presence over there because there's nothing restricting you when you're reading the Quran you need to come with first of all it's sincerity opening the Mus'haf with sincerity second thing is try to read it with purity when you get the Mus'haf purity from two things brothers automatically when I said purity many of you just thought oh yeah I have to be upon I'm talking about your heart has to be clean if you've got something towards a Muslim brother of yours and it's a worldly issue go to him تحلل من المظال clear yourself from the oppression and the wrongdoings of the people the heart the second heart الغل والحسد والحقد Ramadan clean it brothers clean your heart purify your heart the third one is use the Siwak before you read the Quran clean your mouth because why because you're honoring the speech of Allah you're honoring what when a man gets married the first night he gets married what does he do once you're married for a long long time things change you become a bit relaxed chilling you wear the same pajamas for 3-4 days I'm not talking about myself but when you first get married what do you do you're always sharp brush your teeth 3 times 4 times a day تقريبا sharp is it hard for the single brothers but the point is if that's what you're going to do for your wife مشاء الله is a sunnah by the way and it's good may Allah make us those who are consistently upon what we start with المدهبة consistency it's lead it it's lead it صح it's lead it but why not the when you read the Quran you wake up and you just want to read it straight away the way it is not clean your mouth و لذلك عمالك رحمه الله it was said that he would never narrate a hadith unless he showered دل فل غصر combed his hair are you with me brothers combed his hair dress nicely و ذلك و الله و لأ one thing I learnt my sheikh told me one time may Allah bless him grant him jannah and he's something I always forget I always do it but I forget may Allah make us those who don't forget take your finger and do a page like that I said sheikh that's not haram so he took his finger and he put his saliva on it and he was taking it to my face I said no is that exactly exactly the first I was like what I'm looking for قال الله قال الرسول لا يجوز دليل but he took his thumb and he put his saliva on it and he brought it close to my face it's my teacher I was like a sheikh sheikh he said to me that's how it you don't like it on your cheek when you're reading the Quran and you're turning the page over don't use the saliva don't do this this is respecting the what respecting the Quran respecting the Quran و لذلك the Prophet ﷺ when they brought he brought a pillow out he put a pillow down a towel and he took the towel and he put it down and he opened it and they're asking for him to judge right the Quran is محايا the Quran it has to be respected a person puts it somewhere high respectful when they're reading very important some people think when they're reading this is how you read that's not reading ابن عبدالبارن كتاب التمهيد he refutes that انظروا في المصحف ليس قراءة looking at the مصحف is not a recitation even some people when they pray they do this their lips don't move that's not recitation in the Arabic language قراءة means your lips move and the person next you can hear you not very loudly puts his ear close to you he can hear you that's why the صحاب they used to know the Prophet's recitation because of his bed moving كان يعرف قراءته بالضراب لحيتي and this is talking about صلاة when it's سرية they wouldn't say that at the time when the صلاة is جهرية because they can hear it why would they say his jaw would move are you with me brothers so when you're praying and you're reading فاتح you can't do this I say I'm reading in my brain not reading your lips have to move and it can't be loud and your mouth your lips so when you're reciting don't just make it مجرد النظر just look at the صحب like that when you're reading it you read it like this are you with me if you're alone and you're not going to harm those people next to you try to go a bit loud so you can hear your recitation because a lot of the times when the lips and the ear and the eye are all connected it has more strength in the heart يبن القيم says this when you're praying when you're reading even when you're memorizing the scholars اديوا التعلم زرنوجي he mentions that when you're memorizing don't try to memorize صحب you're not memorizing ابن مالكس الفية so you say كلامنا لخضن مفيد كستقب واسمون وفعل وعيدو كلمة و القولو عم وكلمة بيها كلام بالجر you're looking at it whilst you're memorizing are you there no one of the things that helps the memorization is to look at what you're memorizing you're reading it and you're also saying it a bit loud so your ears can hear it so all of those parts of your bodies are involved the eyes are involved by looking the ears are involved by listening the mouth is involved because it's pronouncing and it's uttering it when they all work together it sinks strong into the heart بخاري رحم الله asked how can one strengthen and strengthen his memorization and what did he say زرنوجي said his he says خذ حرفاً وقل ألفاً take one letter say a thousand times خذ حرفاً take one letter قل ألفاً say a thousand times تكرار repetition repetition and it will stick with you إن شاء الله so if by Ramadan imagine a day you finish the Quran once and you finish the Quran at least twice at least brothers 15 days first 15 days you finish it are you with me 20 days you finish it once and the last 10 days you finish it once that's good for you مراجعة it's good for you even if you memorize the Quran this memorization is going to be called شبوحف it's not word for word memorization but you roughly know what's happening here you with me brothers there's things that you've memorized but you don't know it like computer you haven't computerized it like that but you know you're here and there it's there somewhere there تكرار of the Quran does that for your brothers by reading the Quran also my brothers is that a lot of the people when they come to verses which are ayah to sujood and ayah to sujood one of the manners is to do sujood are you with me brothers when you come to a verse where you have to prostrate prostrate you're reading and you come to it not on the floor not on the floor put it somewhere high a lot of people just hold it in their hands and they do the sujood don't do that put it somewhere high take your two hands because this is a sujood and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when he said اقربوا ما يكونوا لعبدو لربه always say اقتلوا في الدعاة وانتوا في sujood the time you're the most closest to Allah is when you're in sujood so make your dua and supplicate to Allah واتعال so don't miss that that عبادة what's your reading in the Quran it's very important and I also mentioned the issue of do not recite loudly where you harm others because what is wrong is when some people fall into this show come especially when they go to the Ka'bah Ramadan the people go to the Ka'bah and they want to touch the black stone and he punches everybody before him so he's looking for a ta'a and to get to that ta'a he does so many sins and the قاعدة which we mentioned which is what درء المفصلة اولى من جلب المصرحة you're here in the masjid you want to recite the Quran you want a benefit for yourself you're trying to do good but don't be a person who harms the people another person wants to get the reward if you harm him that's not are you with me وليدالك the Prophet ﷺ said وليدالك the Prophet ﷺ said oh people all of you are مناجر ربه and everyone of you is calling not to your load فلا يُدَيَنَّا do not harm بعضكم بعضا do not harm one another ولا يرفع بعضكم على بعضه and some of you should not raise your voices over the others في القراءة in the recitation and another way he says في الصلاة in the prayer وليدالك that's why the Prophet ﷺ when he entered one night the Prophet ﷺ was walking and guess who he saw he saw Abu Bakr praying and Abu Bakr's voice was very low and he saw Omar and his voice was loud strong so in the morning the Prophet ﷺ said Abu Bakr why was your voice low and he said the one I was calling on to had me Abu Bakr said this the Prophet ﷺ said no Abu Bakr raise your voice a bit أمر هاي why do you raise your voice so strong and bigger he said the reason I do this is what أطلد الشيطان I wanna get rid of enemy of Allah وقلوا الوثنان and the one who's lazy who's sleeping I wanna wake him up why is he missing away from this right section I'm there to wake people up that's my whole goal the Prophet ﷺ said أمر now put your voice low أمر وليدالك the Prophet ﷺ when the companions were making dua and they were supplicating and they were doing the atkar and they made it loud and loud and their voice went a bit loud and he said أربعوا على أنفسكم or be good to your souls and your nefs إنكم لا تدعونا صمن ولا غائبا you're not calling on to one who is absent or who's deaf إنكم تدعونا ربكم you are calling on to your you're calling on to your Lord الله سبحانه وتعالى he hears you and he's closer to you وهو أقربوا إلى إحداكم من he's more closer to you من رحلتي the writing piece which you're sitting on the neck of it الله is more closer to you صحيح so when you're supplicating you're making a dua ولا تجهر بصالاتك ولا تخافت بها وبتغيبين دالكة سبيلا don't go too high don't go too low there's a path in between and Islam is about that moderation if you look at Islam it's a religion of moderation ولا تجه على يدك مغلولة إلى عنوقك ولا تبسطها كل البصل فتقعد ملومة محسورة the believer is not like distingy when they go to the restaurant with you and you know you look at them as you're broke today you don't have money yeah and it's time to pay if they have to pay their hands start shaking like there's no one to pay always oh my card I forgot it at home oh you know the other day they cancelled my card it doesn't want to pay so he's like this are you with me some people are so stingy they don't even care about themselves the second one is what another people سبحان الله حد لهم they have no limits now tell the people this is my money here it is take it well it gives everybody home and he goes home he says I don't know I don't have money Allah says don't be that and don't be ولا تجه على يدك مغلولة إلى عنوقك ولا تبسطها كل البصل فتقعد ملومة محسورة so what do you do do this don't do this and don't do this do this so they can take what they want from it I'll show you I'll show you stop it you can stop the people because some people's hands just keep coming so I'll say people just keep coming what time is it 15 minutes from now what the adagos in 15 minutes from now so we just we'll do it everybody get ready and we just in a straight line and everything and then after that we carry on or should we just carry on now because if you don't have we'll do it it's 8.12 so we've got more than 15 minutes okay okay narrated by Abu Musa that messenger of Allah said the Quran is a proof for you or against you one Muslim narrated by Muslim عن أبي Musa فادي الله عنه قال العشاري العشاري على Abu Musa العشاري فادي الله عنه قال صلى الله عليه وسلم على القرآن حجة لك أو عليك الحديث رواه مصنع هذا الآن يتحدث عن الأشياء بإمكاننا القرآن بإمكاننا نتحدث عنها القرآن is either a proof for you or against you the reality of the Quran is not as Hassan Al-Basri said يقيمون حروفة ويضيعون حدودة that you fulfill its weddings that when you recite أمانو عميلو do you read her? every Makharaj that wasn't even good like I'm just talking about real good people who when they recite the Quran the Makharaj the Ghoin the Fa the Qalqala the Yarmaluna they're very good at it but then when you look at them the Quran does not implement it's not shown it doesn't come from them it's no implementation of it are you with me? that's not what it should be the Quran is a proof for you or against you have you not seen people who say may Allah's curse be upon the oppressors and he's an oppressor himself he's the number one oppressor pressing the creation of Allah and he's keep saying and he's a Qari so the Quran is either against you or for you you are going to read the Quran and it's either going to guide you or the Quran is going to put you to the straight path Allah says in the Quran وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَا الْقُرْانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا إِلَّا خَسَارًا so they look in this eye Allah tells us that the Quran has sat down when the people read it and they look at it they're one of two وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَا الْقُرْانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ for the believers it's mercy they commit to it and they want to follow it as for the other ones Allah says وَيَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا the oppressors وَلا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا as for the oppressors and the wrongdoers and the criminals the Quran does not increase them except in loss and that's what atheists and the Christians look at what do they look in the Quran for anyone my beloved brothers and sisters who reads with the Quran with a preconceived notion he already holds and that's all he's looking for and the Quran is a sick-minded individual when you come to the Quran you come to the Quran with an open mind you're wailing and you're ready to take what it tells you you don't have a preconceived notion in the sense where you believe something and then all you're doing is you're going to look for what you believe and what strengthens your opinion and the Marab is a sickness it's a Marab it's an illness ولي ذلك ذا طوائف and the group الشيخ الإسلام تايمية mentions that became his guided is because يعتقدونه ثم يستدلونه فا يبدل لونه they believe number one they have a preconceived notion before he reads the Quran he has a belief in his heart are you with me brothers أخي جزاك الله خيرا it's about time جزاك الله خاصف it's about time I was wondering where it's going to come ساعة ذكرية جزاك الله yeah okay I won't say nothing to you he said if you don't so brothers are you with me he believes something and then once he believes something he looks for it in the Quran does the Quran agree with me نعنة ونعاية give me another ayah نعنة ونعاية another ayah give me another ayah let's close to this opinion and that's why groups went wrong groups went wrong when you come to the Quran it goes against your desires it goes against what you want submit to it الله says in the Quran يجد في أنفسهم حرجا من ما قضيت ويسلم وتسليما الله says in the ayah وما كان لمؤمن ولا مؤمنة إذا قضى الله ورسول أمر أن يكون لهم الخيرات من أمرهم الله says in the ayah إنما كان قول المؤمنين إذا دعو إلى الله ورسول يحكوم بينهم أن يقولوا سمعنا وقطعنا you believe is like that آيات are more than this that show that when the Quran is mentioned فإنتنازعت في شيء فردوه إلى الله ورسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله وليوم الآخر ذلك خير وأحسن وتأويلا الله أولا يقول والتبعو ما أنزل إليكم من ربكم ولا تتبعوا من دونه أوليا أين هذه الآيات are telling you to follow submit implement the Quran the Quran is either حجة for you or against you ولذلك there is an ayah in the Quran where الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول الذين يتلونه the ones who are reciting أما الذين آتيناهم الكتابة يتلونه حقة لاوتي pay attention to this the ones who have given the book too they recite the book as it deserves to be recited recited الذين آتيناهم الكتابة the ones we have given the book to يتلونه they recite the Quran حقة لاوتي the way it deserves to be recited what does it mean they recited the way it deserves to be recited عبد الله المسعود explains it to us he says إن حقة لاوتي the recitation means حقة لاوتي recited in the Quran the way it deserves to be recited is أن يحل حلاله is that you make whatever the Quran makes حلالي you make it haram ويحرم حرامة and whatever it makes حرام you make haram كما أنزل الله إذا الله has sent it down ولا يحرف الكلم عن مواضعه and you don't destroy verses from its places ولا يتأول منه شيء على غير تأويري and you don't interpret a verse in other than the interpretation which الله سبحانه و تعالى gave to it ولذلك عبد الله المسعود رضي الله و تعالى عنه كان الرجل مننا أيمان from amongst us إذا تعلم عشر آيات if you learn ten verses لم يجاوزهنهن he will never study move verses he won't until what حتى يعرف معانية هنو العمل بهم now until he knows the meaning in it and he implements it ten verses don't move forward have you implemented it move on so for them the memory and the implementation was simultaneously والله he was sick mean number one the religion has become memorize حروف it's just the wordings الله يبقى نسأل الله أكثر الله ما دينا لأحسن الأخلاق لا يهدي لأحسنها إلا أنت والصرف عننا سيئها لا يصرف عن سيئها إلا أنت الله guide us to the best of manners and etiquette الله guide us to the best of implementation because the worst thing brothers is hard work that you've put an effort that you've come with if you come the day of judgment it's a proof against you you thought it was working for you and it works it's working against you there's nothing worse than that day والله because there's no chance again there's no second chance الله says in the Quran قل هل نبئكم بالأحسنين أعمالة الذين ظلنا سعيهم في الحياة الدنيا وهم يحسبون أنهم يحسنون سلعا shall we tell you people are lost are people who are really lost that day of judgment who are they the ones who thought what they were doing was right والهل نبئكم بالأحسنين أعمالة the ones with actions they are lost they truly are lost is الذين ظلنا سعيهم their whole efforts that they were doing and the hard work that they were upon it was what it was a proof against them the only way you can overcome that is if you believe you're not perfect if you believe you yourself can become a disbeliever tomorrow صحيح when you live a life like that you will make it through Insha'Allah you will make it through last I am going to mention which is الله says in the Quran مثل الذين حملوا التوراة ثم لم يحملوها كمثل الحماري يحملوا أسفارة a donkey carrying what some people are like that me involved don't take whatever I say you guys are in it don't worry we're all in this together we're all on one boat our boat is sinking brothers all of us and that is carrying we're carrying we're carrying something valuable we really don't know what we're carrying we got honey on us you know what they say the women they use eyeliner is right eyeliner is it called eyeliner the thing that makes their eyes black it's called the eyeliner right you know the camel has it for free camel has the best eyeliner have you seen the eyes of the camel the Arabs they say أننا يدري أننا يدري what does the camel know about eyeliner look what he's got he

you about it in the middle of the desert have you guys seen the stormy sun and everything brothers I beg you بالله عليكم I really watch Discovery Channel and the geography National is called you true brothers there's episodes one after the other I watch it regularly والله أفلا ينظرون إلى الإبليكي فخورقة brothers just look at the camel when I saw the drought that took place in Somalia and I saw camel die and I knew my I had good knowledge of the camel I realized this is a drought when you see camels dying out of famine poverty you really know this is a drought this is a serious situation camels don't easily die they keep water for 40 days that's their job they store it you know they've got two stomachs one stomach they bring that food out again that they ate a month ago and they keep eating it all the time you know that right if you look at camel it's always chewing not cut it's true real food that he had months ago are you with me brothers it's a powerful animal it's made when those people died and the droughts happened and the camels were dying you know this is a serious situation الله تبارك وتعالى lift up from our brothers wherever they are we will carry on after the Salah إن شاء الله وتعالى بإذن الله
