Imām Ash-Shāfi’ī رحمه الله said: “If you wish for the rectification of your heart, or your son, or your brother, or whoever you wish for their rectification, then place him in the garden of the Qur’ān and in the company of the Qur’ān. For verily Allāh will rectify him, whether he wills for it or n…

The heart feels ready to burst at times… Sometimes from sheer joy at the Ni’mah of Allāh — of Hifdh, And sometimes from the overwhelming responsibility of carrying His Book in the heart. Every action and word followed by deep rumination — “Was that befitting of a person who carries the Qur’ān in …

‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Īsā رحمه الله said: “The Ummah will not cease to be upon good as long as they teach their children the Qur’ān!” [Mawsū’ah Ibn Abī Dunyā 8/75]

We seek Allāh سبحانه وتعالى’s refuge from ever being deprived of the Qur’ān.

Academic achievements and trophies are framed and hung on designated walls in peoples homes, while the Mus’hafs are in the back of a drawer or shelf somewhere covered in a layer of thick dust. Parents celebrate and display joy like madmen upon the worldly achievements of their children, but they do…

Throughout most of my Hifdh journey, I was very open with people as to how much I had memorized. I wanted to share my progress as an encouragement to those close to me, and as an inspiration to them. Alhamdulillah, after I began, most of my family began and made huge progress in their Hifdh as well.…

Met a very elderly villager recently (الله يجزاهم خير), who spoke in a dialect of my native language that I have trouble understanding. We attempted to converse with difficulty (due to my slow understanding of the dialect) here and there over the days we spent around each other. At one point, they a…

During the most difficult days of my life, I was coincidentally memorizing Sūrat Yusūf. The Sūrah was revealed to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ as a consolation after some very difficult period of his life and messagehood, and it served as the greatest consolation to me, to an extent that I can’t describ…

Upon nearing the destination, the traveler usually begins to hasten towards the end of his journey with anticipation and longing. But what can I tell you about a journey so beautiful that the traveler cannot bring himself to end it? He hesitates and slackens his pace, lingering reluctantly around t…

A Hadīth I’m Grateful for تَعَاهَدُوا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِنَ الإِبِلِ فِي عُقُلِهَا Keep refreshing your knowledge of the Qur’ān, for I swear by Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad that it is more liable to escape than camels wh…

Sihr, Jinn, and ‘Ayn (evil eye) My family seems to have some type of effects from all three, much of which has been confirmed. To be brief, some of the issues are generational (when a parent has an issue, it’s usually effects the children and so forth) and some are inflicted upon us by enemies (lik…

Some trials, along with the damage they caused, remain fresh in your mind for years. Sometimes, you relive small moments and experiences that remind you of those difficult tests you endured. Tests that broke every ounce of strength you had within you, except that small bit which Allāh سبحانه وتعالى …

Beautiful coincidence that I made a post regarding this very issue just yesterday, elaborating on the same quotes that the Shaykh حفظه الله mentioned, and focusing on the same lesson SubhānAllāh. A beautifully beneficial lecture with the lesson delivered better than that post or myself ever could. …
