Alhamdulillah, yesterday was a very good day. I spent most of my time at my shop, and thankfully, business was also good. No matter how much we thank Allah Almighty, it is never enough for the blessings He has given us. He has provided us with the opportunity to earn a halal livelihood and fulfil our responsibilities.
There are people who even think about earning through haram ways instead of choosing halal. Alhamdulillah, my effort is always to earn a little less but through honest and halal means because halal earnings bring blessings into our lives.
For the past few days, I had been regularly reciting the Holy Quran, and Alhamdulillah, yesterday I completed all 30 Paras.
Alhamdulillah, I have also memorized 20 Paras of the Holy Quran. I did not memorize the first few Paras, but I can read them quite well through Nazra (reading by looking at the Quran). As for the remaining Paras, reciting them is easier for me because I have memorized them.
The recitation of the Holy Quran gives a person a special kind of spiritual peace that is difficult to express in words. Alhamdulillah, I have personally experienced that whenever I take some time out of my busy routine to recite the Quran, my heart feels a different kind of peace and satisfaction.
The Holy Quran is not just a book to be read; it also guides us towards the best way to live our lives.
There is a beautiful Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), whose meaning I would like to share with you:
"The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it to others."
When we used to study at the Madrasa, these words were written there. At that time, we were too young to fully understand their meaning and importance.
But Alhamdulillah, as time passed, I began to understand the message behind these beautiful words, and I would like to share my understanding with you.
It means that even a person who finds it difficult to recite the Holy Quran but continues making an effort and reads it with difficulty, even if they have to stop and struggle with some words, receives a double reward for their efforts.
As I mentioned earlier, I sometimes find it a little difficult to recite the first 10 Paras because I have not memorized them. However, Alhamdulillah, I have memorized the remaining Paras and have recited them many times, so I find them much easier.
That is why we should never stop reciting the Holy Quran or feel discouraged because of difficulties. Whether we read through Nazra or have the blessing of memorizing the Quran, every effort is valuable.
May Allah Almighty bless every Muslim with the ability to read, understand, memorize and act upon the teachings of the Holy Quran.
Ameen! 🤲❤️
