'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'
'We shall continue this right path, before things come to an end'
We talked about how Allah SWT glorified the Qur'an in many verses
We also talked about how the prophet SAW honored the Qur'an
and how was his life with the Qur'an
May peace and blessings be upon him and his family
Now, the topic is about how the righteous and companions,
May Allah be pleased with them and please them, honored the Qur'an
When you read the story of, The Sword of Allah,
Khalid Inn Al Waleed, and the Qur'an
He said, Jihad busied me that I didn�t recite you enough!
Khalid Ibn Al Waleed, was busy with Jihad
Jihad which Allah likes most,
kept Khalid Ibn Al Waleed busy from the Qur'an
What about Ibn- Omar
when he reads the Qur'an, he doesn't speak till he is done!
Abu-Bakr Al-Sidiq, may Allah be pleased with him and please him
He ordered the honorable, Zaid Ibn-Thabit to collect the Qur'an
And to write it down
He said a beautiful word reveals his respect to the Qur'an;
By Allah, If I was assigned to move a mountain from one place
to another, is easier for me than
collecting and writing the Qur'an
The costume of the companions, may Allah be pleased with them and please them,
was to memorize 10 verses
Then they contemplate these verses, and their hearts awe
Then apply these verses before
they go on to memorize another 10 verses
and treat them the same as the ones before
This is how the companions, may Allah be pleased with them and please them,
honored this Great Qur'an
We visited study circles at The Masjid of Imam, Ahmad Ibn-Hanbal
In Al-Madinah Al-Monawara
We learned how they teach children before reading from the Mushaf,
and how they do in the Sanad and Qita'at circles
A peculiar thing about the circles in this Masjid
Is the management and supervision which establish
the disciplines of the Qur'an, on the students of the Qur'an
We started our circles in this Masjid
of Imam, Ahmad Ibn-Hanbal,
may Allah put mercy upon him
at 1421 H. by one circle
and they increased gradually, praise to Allah, together with the
expansion of the Masjid
Now, at 1434 H., we have about 29 circles
and more than 500 students studying in them
at varied levels
In the Masjid of Imam, Ahmad Ibn-Hanbal,
may Allah put mercy upon him, In The Madina of the prophet
May peace and blessings be upon him and his family
Now, I am with the Hufadh of the Book of Allah Almighty
- How are you sheikh Muhammad? - praise to Allah
- are you good? - praise to Allah
- When did you start to memorize the Qur'an?
- On third grad! - Yes

"And [mention, O Muhammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House,"
"[saying], "Do not associate anything with Me"
" and purify My House"
" for those who perform Tawaf "
" and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate."
Our management system is both Academic and disciplinary
the academic division is composed of programs for memorization
our target is to motivate the student to memorize the Noble Qur'an
Each level is planed specifically
For example, students at the intermediate grads, they memorize one page,
at low grads, they memorize less than a page,
and at high school, they memorize more than one page
The mission of the disciplinary program
is to raise the students with the morals of the Qur'an,
as our prophet SAW was
This program is complemented by efforts of the
family, school and Masjid
By the will of Allah, we try to do our part in the Masjid
The head management of the masjid is keen to have an annual plan
which is detailed; in strategy, tools and methods of application
This plan is to be approved by the head management after
consultation of experts, before its application in the circles
" O mankind, what has deceived you "
" concerning your Lord, the Generous,"
" Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?"
"In whatever form He willed has He assembled you."

- Every student had a log book
- His daily memorization and revision is evaluated
- He gets posters from his teacher daily
- according to his revision and memorization
- For example, if he was excellent, he gets high marked poster
- Then he stamps it in his log book
- And if he reached the top of the pyramid
- the head management gives him a reward
- We are keen that the student implements what he memorize
- Of Course you saw the electronic reader, we have
- It is an electronic reader, a Mushaf and a head phone
- It helps the student to read correctly the new part
- which he is to memorize or to correct his mistakes if he has any
- This gives the teacher ample time to organize the circle and
- to do revisions for other students
- Praise to Allah, 28 students have memorized the Qur'an in this Masjid
- Those with Ijaza and Isnad are more than 30 students
' It is a design for life rules'
' for our hearts it's a life guard'
I met a sheikh who memorized the whole Qur'an in Masjid Inn-Hanbal
Then he started to call the Azan
Then he gained the Sanad, [Referance to the prophet SAW]
Now, he teaches in the same circles which taught him before
This beautiful path, I wish for every Hafidh
He is Sheikh Adil Muhammad Sadiqu
Allah the Great, Allah the Great
I witness that no worthy of worship except Allah
- would you tell us, Sheikh about your life with the Qur'an?
- From the start!
- I started memorizing
- At first I used to listen to the radio
- My mother always listened to Sheikh Abdul-Basit Abdul-Samad
- So I think I stared memorizing the Qur'an at 5
- This what my mother noticed
- Till I joined this Masjid
- how old were you? - 8-9 years old
- At fourth grad
- At that time, I came to pray al-Asr prayer
- I was looking at the students in the circle, memorizing the Qur'an
- I felt tempted to be with them
- Praise to Allah, I joined them to memorized the Qur'an
- At that time, I already had memorized 15 juzzs at home
- So with the circle, I did them fast
- Then the days passed and I finished all the Qur'an at 12
- Did your mother play any role on that?
- I see that she was with you when you started at home!
- I believe that after you joined the circle,
- She felt that you are close to do it - Yes
- Actually, even when I reached surat Al-A'raf
- You know how the long 7 suras
- Every day, whenever I leave home going to the circle, I see
- tears in her eyes - Allah is Great!
- With happiness, hoping, that I do it, by the will of Allah
' You are the book that has no equal of books'
' And you are the helper that never runs out of advice'
' You compiled the wisdom of all the books of previous revelations'
' Your guidelines are from Allah and your people are companions'
"And Our word has already preceded"
" for Our servants, the messengers,"
" [That] indeed, they would be those given victory"
" And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome."

- When did your son finish the Qur'an?
- He was 10 years old!, In Ramadan
- Ma'sha'Allah, in Ramadan!

- All this is accomplished by memorizing the Qur'an
' Recite and think of the meanings, in awe'
' Miss it till your tears flow down'
' It magically runs through all the veins'
' leaving behind it but abundant light'
- some of the verses are connected
"has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad]"
"has brought it down,""Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - "
[Surat Ash-shu'ara']
- What is the relation of the heart and the Qur'an
- The heart it the first recipient
- People are never addressed with a speech better than the Qur'an
- And nothing is required from the Qur'an greater than talking to the hearts
- Grammarians, rhetoricians, Alaajazaan, secularists and physicists
- All may take whatever they want from the Qur'an, their right
- If they found the right way of doing it
- But above all, it should be clear that The Noble mission for which
- the Qur'an was brought down is to address hearts
- and bring it into life
- The real lives wanted is of the hearts
" And is one who was dead and We gave him life"
" and made for him light by which to walk among the people"
- This is never accomplished, except with Qur'an
- Nothing can do that except the Qur'an
'When I breathe the essence of my soul'
'And the door of goodness opens for me'
'That�s when the sole flows with its scent'
'The perfume of love throughout the gardens'
'We travel in the journey of Qur'an'
'Along the roads of goodness and to home lands '
'With the noble target of life'
'It�s to win the acceptance of Allah'
'In the company of the Qur'an, the journey is sweet'
'Through the lights with reflections'
'With soles by impression'
'It has all the good and evidence'
'From the Qur'an to mankind'
'In all horizons and universes'
'We are in its journey at all times'
'Our only wish is acceptance of Allah
