In a journey to everywhere
Between cities and nations
In the presence of the Wise Remembrance
The Lord of all hearts Has unified us... Has unified us all.
And for the sake of memorizing the book
We have knocked every door
and we shall continue this right path, before things come to an end
if anyone of us heard about someone who memorized the Quran
he/she would wonder "how could they do it?"
"I can never memorize the Quran"
If such-and-such son memorized the Quran
They'd say" how will my kids do the same?"
" How comes? Quran is hard. It has many pages"
Now I want to ask a question
to those who say it is difficult
and Allah (swt) himself made it easy
Did you ever- during the prostration in prayer,
Did you ever made Dua'a to Allah (swt)
to help you memorize the Quran
Lets be frank
Did you ever while holding your hands up in Dua'a,
You ask Allah for many things: heaven, save you from hell, bless your kids, or for money
Most of us make Dua'a for these
Did you ever add to these Dua'as:
"O Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful who makes things easy"
"Facilitate memorize your book for me"
"make me learn by heart these great words"
" so that they would take me to the highest levels of heaven"
Have you ever done that?
So today
One of the most important things that would help you,
is to turn to Allah (swt)
because memorizing the Quran is not an ordinary thing
It is a very great task
Allah (swt) considers it great
and His prophet -peace be upon him- too
People respect you if you are a "Hafidh"
So you need to turn to Allah Almighty
with a heart full of affection and devotion
to help simplifying this matter to you
Don't think I am the one to make this easy for you
or your parents.. or the Sheikh
Only Allah is the one who makes things easy and doable
Therefore, "if you would ask, ask Allah,and if you seek help, seek it from Allah"
And the verse says:"and that who depends on Allah, Allah is enough for them"
if you depend on Allah, he will support you
When you go to Umrah, while you are making Tawaf.
Use that time, you have 7 long turns, and between Safa and Marwa
Also when you are at Hajj
Chose the times and situations, when Dua'a known to be accepted
look for them
e.g. between Adhan & Iqam'a, during traveling,
When it is raining
On Fridays, last 10 days of "Ramadan", etc
Ask Allah (swt) to help you memorize the Quran
and you will have the blessings and answers to your Dua'a
"and when my servants ask you about me, [tell them] I am close to answer the call of those who ask me"
"Is He who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon"
So lets make Dua'a
It is one of the basics which will ease the memorizing the book of Allah
[ Turkey ]
One of our most beautiful visits in Turkey
is our visit to "The Big Green Masjid"
It is a modern Masjid, built by donations from some Kuwaiti donors
among other donors
The Masjid has three stories
Its basement is very well prepared with beautiful class-rooms special for memorizing the Quran
The 1st and 2nd stories are for men's prayer
The 3rd floor for women's prayer
It was an amazing visit
Managers of the Masjid were very welcoming
" The full moon had arised upon us, shining from the hills of Al-Wada`a"
" Thankfulness has become our duty, as long the caller is calling to Allah"
" Oh you, The messenger sent to us"
" You brought the obeyable order"
" You came and honored Al-Madinah, welcome! Oh you, The best caller!"
[Praising the Prophet PBUH in local language]
We met the Imam of the Masjid to listen to his peculiar story with the Quran
Sheikh Esrafel
Tell us how did you start memorizing the Nobel Quran?
After I finished the elementary school
I came to the Green Masjid at Birampasha
How old were you?
I was 11 years old
- you started memorizing the Quran at 11? - yes
I lived 1000Km away from school- between the village and Istanbul
I couldn't see my parents for 2 years, while memorizing the Quran
- That was for the sake of memorizing Quran? - Yes
At that time, we were 750 students in the school
and I was chosen from all of them to be the Imam of this Masjid
And this is from the blessing Quran
- From among 750 student? - Yes, he was the one chosen to lead this Masjid
How old were you when you became the Imam of this Masjid
I was 24 years old
- Praise to Allah - Masha'Allah
Imagine, he traveled 1000Km to memorize the Quran... 1000km
Today, If one of us is told that the Halaqa is behind your house
They may say " Oh, it is far"
He also didn't see his parents for 2 years, to memorize the Quran
" ....and His angels to bring you out from darkness into light"
"My Quran, you are my life and I repeat your meaningful words"
"and recite you, with hope and appeal"
"My Quran, my light,how honored is your reciter"
"Your love is my interceedor before my Lord"
"My Quran, you are my life and I repeat your meaningful words"
"and recite you, with hope and appeal"
"My Quran, my light,how honored is your reciter"
"Your love is my interceedor before my Lord"
" My Quran, you are my life, you are my life, and I repeat your meaningful words"
Now, with the Grace of Allah, you has the goal set to memorize the Quran
It is advisable, when you are starting and going on memorizing the Quran
To chose from your surrounding people
Loving people who would share your dream with you
It is not necessarily that they memorize the Quran as you do
Some may not be ready to memorize the Quran,
Your parents, brother, friend or coworker...
Let them share your dream
Tell them: "I want to memorize the Quran, help me"
"If you noticed that I am getting lazy or less enthusiastic"
"Advice me, put me back on track!"
" Help me to resume again"
This is one of the things which is going to help you much
Personally speaking, I had many people who supported me
My mother was not a hafidh'ah, but as soon as I go home, she'd call me
She'd say: "Come Fahad", and she opens the Mus'haf to follow me through
She didn't do this to revise my lesson
But she did that to encourage me
My father -may Allah have mercy on him- used to do the same
Randomly calls me to recite Quran for him
My Sheikh would call me from Egypt - while he's traveling!
He'd call saying, "Oh Fahad, I want to go over your lesson"
Why is that? Because they are my partners in that goal
It is as important for them that I memorize Quran
Even sisters, your sisters, your family, friends, and colleagues
Make them your partners in this great goal
And they will be a great support for you, until you reach your goal
Memorizing the book of Allah Almighty

" But [instead], he denied and turned away."
" Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -"
" Gardens and grapevines"
