We
are in Shahrur Ramadhan, the month of Shahrul Qur'aan, the month of seeking
forgiveness and seeking pardon from Allaah سُبحانه
وتعالى, we are in the
month of striving and a month which is considered a great opportunity... The
Muslim in general worships Allaah سُبحانه
وتعالى every single day and night
as this is the life of a believer but Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى has made this particular month the BEST month
of the year -- the month the Noble
Qur'aan was revealed. This month is an
opportunity for all as opposed to Hajj and Umrah are specific for
those who have the capability to perform. But this Shahru Mubarak (the month
full of blessings) is a month that everyone participates in (some way or the
other) even if they are excused from fasting. Let us not waste this opportunity
to return to Allaah in obedience, to ponder and reflect! Time is precious!! We
should not waste time in that which does not benefit. When the time of death
and the Day of Judgement arrives, (and it is a must for everyone) -- we will
regret the time we have lost!
Today's session:
We
continue with the first chapter: "The
Merits of the recitation of the Qur'aan."
Allaah
سُبحانه وتعالى mentions in His Noble Qur'aan:
الَّذِينَ
آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّ تِلاَوَتِهِ
"Those to whom We gave the Book, recite
it as it should be recited)..."
(Al-Baqarah 2:121)
--
the word is تِلاَوَتِهِ - (they recite 'the
true recitation' it as it should be recited).
آجُرِّي - Aajjurri mentioned the statement of Mujaahid
concerning the tafseer of this verse: يَتْلُونَهُ
حَقَّ تِلاَوَتِهِ that
he recites it the way it should be recited - (which means they act according to
the Book of Allaah). It does not mean mere recitation of the tongue, rather what
it means is as what Ibn Qayyim (رحمه الله) mentioned
with regards to the ayah in Surah al-Fatir:
