People who have memorized the Qur’aan should be known by the night when people are sleeping and he is awake, and by the morning when people are not fasting but he is, by his sadness when they are happy, by his crying when they are laughing, by his silence when they are slandering, and by his piety and humility when they are arrogant. He who has memorized the Qur’aan should be tearful, sad, wise, patient, and clam, and he should not be rude, inattentive, loud or cruel.

Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to finish the memorization of the Quran stop you from beginning and making the conviction to finish. The time will pass anyway, why not spend it in the best possible way. What better way to spend your time do you have than in the learning and memorization of the Quran?

“The best of you is the one who learns the Qur’aan and teaches it.” al-Bukaari

Reciting Quran in Salah

Do not scatter the (recitation of) Qur’an out like the scattering of sand, and do not rush through it like the hasty recitation of poetry. Stop at its amazing parts and make your heart move with it. None of you should let his concern be to reach the end of the chapter.

O son of Adam, how is your heart ever going to be softened by the recitation of Qur’an when all you read for is to reach the end of the Surah.

If our hearts were truly pure, we would never get enough of the Words of our Lord, and I hate that one day passes with me not looking in the Mushaf.

The Qur’aan is not just there to be recited, but to be acted upon as well. And no one has more of a duty to act according to the Qur’aan than those who carry it in their chests.
