💎Ramadan: The Month of Patience

Our Prophet (ﷺ) called Ramadan “the month of patience” ((شهر الصبر)).

He also informed us that victory & triumph only comes about by patience. النصر مع الصبر

✴️ Staying away from disobedience = patience

✴️ Staying consistent with habitual good deeds = patience

✴️ Holding back from incorrectly reacting to other’s mistreatment = patience

✴️ Enduring hunger & thirst = patience.


‎If we don’t learn & develop patience in this month, when will we?

➡️⭐️⭐️ The Simple Practical Approach of the Salaf to Learning the Qur’ān ⭐️⭐️⬅️

💎 The illustrious scholar Abu Muhammad Ibn Qutaybah (d. 276 AH رحمه الله) said:

ولم يفرض الله على عباده أن يحفظوا القرآن كله ولا أن يختموه في التعلم؛

"Allah did not obligate His servants to memorize the entire Quran nor to complete it in their learning.

وإنما أنزله ليعملوا بمحكمه ، ويؤمنوا بمتشابهه ، ويأتمروا بأمره ، وينتهوا بزجره ، ويحفظوا للصلاة مقدار الطاقة ، ويقرأوا فيها الميسور

Rather, He revealed it for them to:
👉 Act upon its clear verses,
👉 To believe in (the trueness of) its ambiguous ones [meaning that which they don’t fully understand yet],
👉 To follow His command,
👉 To heed His prohibition,
👉 To memorize for prayer what they are able to,
👉 And to recite in (prayer) what is easy."

📚[Ta’wīl Mushkal al Qur’ān, p. 210]

➡️⭐️⭐️ A Family that Recites the Qur’ān Have Angelic Support & Protection from Devils ⭐️⭐️⬅️

💎💎 The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

(( لا تجعلوا بيوتَكم مقابرَ . إنَّ الشيطانَ يِنْفِرُ من البيتِ الذي تُقرأُ فيه سورةُ البقرةِ ))

"Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed, Satan flees from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited."

📚 Sahih Muslim (780) 📚


💎Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) used to say:

«إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَيَتَّسِعُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْضُرُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، وَيَكْثُرُ خَيْرُهُ أَنْ يُقْرَأَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ،

"Indeed, the home spaciously accommodates its people, angels frequent it, devils abandon it, and its goodness increases when the Quran is recited within it.

وَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَيَضِيقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَتَحْضُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، وَيَقِلُّ خَيْرُهُ أَنْ لَا يُقْرَأَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ».

And indeed, the house becomes tight for its people, angels abandon it, devils frequent it, and its goodness decreases when the Quran is not recited within it."

This year’s significantly expanded 4th edition of Contemplating Over The Qur’ān is now available on Amazon.

Due to the scope of the project, it is being released in 2 volumes. The first covers the first third of the Qur’ān which are called the 7 Long Surahs.

I will be broadcasting daily talks from the book, and the second book should be available soon, Allah willing. Details to follow shortly:

A great deal of work has went into this years edition. This fourth significantly expanded edition adds the main insights of each Surah, page-by-page, with simple details on how to comprehend the information and practically apply the directives found on each page of each Surah. There are no pages for note-taking this year because we added a considerable amount of study questions and special reading assignments, mostly based on Tafsīr al-Sa’di, mentioning this year in which verse exactly one can locate the answer. The connection of each Surah to the previous is also included, as well as the connection of each Surahs opening and closing passages and other scholarly gems.💎
May Allah bless us all to renew our love of His words this Ramadan and accept our worship

Allah willing, beginning this evening, I will start posting daily reminders on the main themes of each days Quran reading during this month. I will post links 🔗 to the reminders here, which will be uploaded to the following channel: https://www.youtube.com/@salaficulture

Even this years children’s edition can be benefited from by Muslims of all ages, as it includes simplified summaries of the main themes and co tents of each Surah.

The most recent edition is significantly expanded and is a very beneficial guide to Contemplating Over the Qur’ān.
