‏واللهِ ما ضاقت الدُّنيا على صاحب القرآن إلاّ وجعل الله له من بين أطباق الهَمّ مخرجًا .. أليس الله بكافٍ أهله ؟ بلى وربّي 🤍

In part of his discussion on the month of Ramadan, ibn Rajab mentioned:

[كان الزهري إذا دخل رمضان يقول : إنَّما هو تلاوة القرآن، وإطعام الطعام .]

When Ramadan came, al-Zuhri used to say, "There is only reciting the Qur'an and feeding others."

[Lata'if al-Ma'arif pg 171]

فإن الصيام يعود المسلم على الأخلاق الطيبة، ويسهل عليه فعل الطاعات وتجنب المحرمات والمكروهات، ويعوده الإحسان إلى المحتاجين، ويلين قلبه لذكر الله، ففوائد الصيام عظيمة وكثيرة، وهي فوائد ظاهرة يعرفها الناس ، فيظهر على الصائم من الخوف والخشية والانكسار والقرب من الخير مالا يظهر على غيره من المفطرين .

Indeed, fasting accustoms the Muslim to having good character and makes easy upon him the performance of acts of obedience and the avoidance of affairs that are prohibited and deemed distasteful. It accustoms him to being kind to those who are in need and to softening his heart for the remembrance of Allah.

The benefits of fasting are tremendous and they are many. They are benefits which are apparent and known by mankind, for it can be seen of a fasting person that he has fear and reverence of Allah, as well as subjugation of his soul and seeking nearness to Allah by way of good deeds, the likes of which are not seen upon those who do not fast.

‏﴿ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِۦ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ ﴾ 🤍🌿

” والمسارعة في الخيرات دلالة على حسن الإسلام، وتمكّن الإيمان من القلب؛ لأنّ الإنسان إذا كان على يقين من لقاء ربّه ‎ﷻ، وبما بعد الموت؛ فإنّه يكون مجتدا في تحصيل الخير لنفسه؛ حتّى يلقى جزاء ذلك عند ربّه. “

imām ʿāmir al-shuʿabī said:

when you read the qurʾān, recite it in a way that your ears hear it and your heart understands it, for verily, the ears are the witnesses between the tongue and the heart.

[al-zuhd by ibnul mubārak]

From Jafar who said: ‘I heard Malik Bin Dinaar saying:

❝Concern for the Hereafter leaves your heart due to the amount you grieve over the Dunyaa and concern for the Dunyaa leaves your heart due to the amount that you grieve over the Hereafter.❞

[Zuhd – By Ahmad, (No. 387) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

أنزل الله علينا لباسين:

لباس يستر عورة الجسد ويزينه، ولباس يستر عورة القلب ويزينه.

وهو التقوى وبينهما تلازم؛ فكلما زاد لباس القلب بالتقوى زاد ستر الجسد باللباس، وكلما نقص لباس القلب من التقوى تعرى الجسد.

Allah sent us two forms of clothing.

Clothing that covers the nakedness of the body and adorns it, and clothing that covers the awrah of the heart and adorns it, and it is piety. They are intrinsically connected, and there is an inseparability between them.

For whenever the heart is clothed with piety, the more the body is covered with clothing – and whenever there is deficiency in clothing the heart with piety, the more the body is exposed.

May Allah protect us from His anger and guide us to what He is pleased with and loves.

﴿وبالأسحار هم يستغفرون﴾

عن نافع أن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما، كان يحيي الليل صلاةً ثم يقول: يا نافع، أسحَرْنا؟ فيقول: لا. فيعاود الصلاة، فإذا قلت: نعم! قعد يستغفر، ويدعو حتى يُصْبح.


تفسير الطبري (6/ 266).

Shame on you! …in that you don’t reflect upon the blessing (of this Quran) that Allah has bestowed upon you!

[Shaykh Sa’eed Raslan (hafidhullaah) translated from Shaykh’s website: www(dot)rslan(dot)com, Transcription of ‘Shame on You!’, Video Talk titled “Shame On You!”]

Imam Ibn Taimiyyah (rahimahullah) said:

When (a person) recites the Quran
and thinks about what it means,
that is from the most powerful of
means of holding him back from
sins.

[Majmoo’ al-Fatawaa Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah), vol. 20, pg. 123]

Shame on you! …in that you leave the Quran so blatantly behind you and you don’t even look in it, in the day or in the night.

[Shaykh Sa’eed Raslan (hafidhullaah) translated from Shaykh’s website: www(dot)rslan(dot)com, Translated Transcription of ‘Shame on You!’, Video Talk titled “Shame On You!”]

and from his grace upon the believers is that nothing is ordained for them from the good or hardship except that there is good in it for them, when they are touched with ease, they are greatful and their reward are the rewards of the greatful, and when they are touched with hardship, and they are patient upon it, their rewards are the rewards of the patient and Allah سبحانه وتعلى says in surah az zumar

"Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit]."

"and call upon Him with fear and hope"

that is fear of His punishment and hope of His reward, hoping that one's deeds will be accepted and fearing that they will be rejected, not offering supplication in the manner of one who thinks that he is entitled to at response from his Lord, filled with self-admiration and raising himself above his station, or in the manner of one who is heedless and not focusing.

The etiquette of supplication as mentioned in this verse is that one should be sincere in calling upon Allah alone, which is indicated by offering supplication in private, concealing and hiding it. There should be both fear and hope, with no heedlessness, complacency or not caring about the response. This is part of offering supplication in the proper manner, because doing every act of worship properly means striving one's best and doing it in a perfect manner with no shortcomings in any way.

Imām Al-Sha'bī (d.100H) said:

من قرأ القرآن لم يخرف

"One who regularly reads the Qur'ān won't lose coherence [or become senile] in old age."

~ أبي الدنيا في العمر والشيب

‏دعاؤك لوالدك في صلاة التراويح أو في صلاة التهجد أفضل بكثير من أن تذبح له عشـر نياق

"Making du'a for your parent in the tarawīh prayer or in tahajjud is far better than you slaughtering ten prized camels (on their behalf)."

~ الباب المفتوح (115) https://t.co/wI416HD3QS‎

"The Qur'ān absorbs sadness and grief from the heart like a sponge. If you read it while upset and disheartened, it will bandage you. And if you read it while joyous, it will multiply your happiness."
