Traveler With the Quran: Summary

In this last episode of Season 1, Sh Fahd summarizes all the tips he has given in all the episodes in this season.

Points of Benefit:

intend it only for Allah
seek assistance from Allah
it’s a great task and not as light as you may think
don’t think that it’s your parents, teacher that makes it easy, but it’s only Allah who can make it easy and doable
abandon all types of sin, don’t think that Allah will facilitate the memorization of His book while you keep sinning
if a person is trying to remember and trying to memorize the zhikr of Allah, Allah will put the circumstances in that person’s service
everything in his life will facilitate him to help him in this journey
memorizing Quran is not difficult, it has been made easy by Allah
plan a small portion and everyday and set your intention to memorize the Quran!
dedicate your time and effort towards this goal
once you start never say, “I don’t have time.”
Don’t work on it one day and skip it on other days
never make your daily memorization practice be of a secondary importance
the Quran is a big deal, don’t just give it time when there is nothing else to be done
stay away from negative people
a passive person may be a good religious person but a negative person will hinder and discourage you from memorizing
be around those who will benefit you
it’s very essential to learn the Quran from interaction with a teacher
find that qualified teacher and seek him with utmost struggle
the proficient is with the noble scribes which means that he will be resurrected with the prophets and angels
this is because he recited the Quran with perfection and tajweed till he reached the level of proficiency
it will be said to him on the Day of Resurrection ” Recite and elevate, similar to how you used to recite in the dunya. For that, your rank in Jannah is at the last ayat you recite.”
these words are not said to just anyone on that day, but only to those who memorized the Quran
any project you undertake needs a detailed plan
start with the intention ow, the end if yours to determine
it just depends on your ability and level of commitment
what matters is not the duration of the time but the perfection you achieve through it
if you wish to memorize in 1 year, you need to memorize 2 pages daily
if you wish to memorize in 3 years, you need to memorize 1 page daily
if you want 5, 1/4 hizb (2-2.5 pages) per week – this is less than half a page per day
this Quran is a great mercy given y Allah to give us opportunities in this world but unfortunately, people are busy with other things such as seeking this world only
you won’t finish memorizing without revision
revise at least 1 juz per day everyday
weekly revision plan, choose a day in the week when you may not do new memoriation
revise whatever new memorization you had finished that week
the monthly revision plan is to revise at least 5 juz in a month
5 juz is not much at all
live according to the Quran and apply it in every aspect of your life
it would be a great calamity if the Prophet saw, witnesses against us on the Day of Judgment, saying, ” Oh my Rabb, my people have abandoned the Quran.”
that’s why we need to quickly return to the Quran not just by memorizing but by acting upon it
of that which help you continue memorizing is to read the biographies of the sahabah, it will impact your heart
understand what you are memorizing
if you for example you memorize one page today, open up the tafseer and read it
a sustainable small amount is better than a non sustainable big amount
when memorizing use only one Quran print, don’t start with one print and change to another afterward dung memorization
there are many prints and the annotation of each is different
the Quran is your prescribed way of life, it’s the word of your Rabb and it’s an interceder on the Day of Judgment
its speech is beautiful in content, beautifully articulated, like a well rooted tree with delicious fruits
no speech can be any better than it
utilize fajr time for memorization
make sure fajr time is a central time in your memorization routine
pray your voluntary prayers with what you memorized
compete with your peers, challenge each other in memorizing Quran
humble oneself to its recitation and feel the words in the heart
keep positive people around you and avoid negative people
try to practice fast reading so you can easily revise large memorized portions
listen to your favorite recite and repeat after him while driving, working etc
write as you memorize, keep a notebook for it so that in the end you have your own handwritten Quran
don’t just memorize the Quran, but perfect it too. After memorizing a page, look at it and read it at least 15 times. This will engrave the image of that page in your heart
never leave Qiyaam, the holder of Quran is known by his nights when others are asleep
