قيام الليل عبادة تصل القلب بالله عزوجل، في وقت هدأت فيه الأصوات، ونامت العيون، وتقلب النُوّم على الفرش .

خطبة الجمعة قال فيها الشيخ:
تفاءلوا فكلُّ بَلاءٍ دونَ النّارِ عافية، وكُلُّ ضيقٍ دونَ القَبْرِ سَعَةٍ، وكُلُّ ذَنْبٍ دونَ الشِّرْكِ مَغْفُورٍ، حَتَّى لَوْ لَم تَرَ جَمالَ المصائب، فكلُّ ما قَدَّرَهُ الجَليلُ هُوَ جميل.
“Be optimistic, for every affliction less than Hellfire is well-being, and every hardship less than the grave is ease, and every sin short of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is forgivable. Even if you do not see the beauty in tribulations, know that everything decreed by the Most Glorious is beautiful.”

Etiquette of Quran Recitation
The person reciting the Holy Qur’an should sit for recitation in a state of complete purity, with clean clothes, perfumed, having used the miswak, calm, humble, and modest.
He should be mindful of the greatness of Allah Almighty, reflect deeply on the meanings of the Qur’an, and be emotionally affected by its verses and rulings. As Allah says:
“The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith, and upon their Lord they rely.” [Al-Anfal: 2]
The Qur’an reciter should also exemplify good manners, dignity, and respect.
He should recite the Qur’an in a measured and melodious manner (with tarteel and tajweed), giving each letter its due right and characteristics—such as correct pronunciation, articulation points, elongations (madd), nasalizations (ghunnah), and other rules of tajweed—hoping for Allah’s acceptance of his recitation and seeking His Paradise and pleasure.

"مَن كانتِ الدُّنيا هَمهُ ، فَرَّقَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمرَهُ ، وجعل فقره بين عينيه ، ولم يأتِه من الدنيا إلا ما ستار و كتب له
"Whoever makes the world (this life) his concern, Allah will scatter his affairs, place poverty before his eyes, and he will not obtain from the world except what has been decreed for him.
ومن كانت الآخرة نيته ، جمعَ اللهُ لَهُ لَهُ ن جمع أمرَهُ ، وجعلَ غِناه في قلبه ، وأنتهُ الدُّنيا وَهِيَ راغمة"
But whoever makes the Hereafter his intention, Allah will gather his affairs, place richness in his heart, and the world will come to him submissively.”
- صحيح ابن ماجه

What's meant for you will always find its way to you.
وَعَسَى أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَى أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Life is too precious to waste on sadness over what's beyond your control.
آمن بقضاء الله وقدره
and you'll find peace and happiness.

Who are the People of the Qur'an and its Bearers?
Among the sayings that gladden the heart of a believer is the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying:
"Indeed, Allah has His own people among mankind."
They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who are they?"
He replied: "They are the people of the Qur’an — the people of Allah and His chosen ones."
So, who are the people of Allah and His special ones?
His saying: (Ahlīn)— meaning "people"— refers to family or close associates. The "people" in this context are the allies and beloved ones.
Thus, the people of the Qur'an are those uniquely attached to it.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said, in the context of discussing whether it's better to recite the Qur’an slowly with reflection or quickly with more quantity:
"Therefore, the people of the Qur’an are those who have knowledge of it and act upon what it contains, even if they do not memorize it by heart. As for the one who memorizes it but does not understand or act upon it, then he is not from its people — even if he perfectly recites its letters like an arrow hitting its mark."

"The true winner is the one who spends their life with the Qur'an — as a seeker, a reciter, and a teacher."
ما عذَّبَ الرحمـٰنُ مَن يستغفرُ
The Most Merciful does not torment the one who seeks forgiveness

And whose tongue, with the remembrance, is purer than musk
فاستغفروا إنَّ الذنوبَ مُمِيتَـةٌ
So seek forgiveness—for sins are deadly (to the heart)
والآيُ ذكرى للذي يستبصُـرُ
