would come from every house early in the morning after Fajr Salah. It also stimulated children, but now unfortunately neither we see the yearning for Salah, nor the recitation of the Holy Quran, but rather now the condition is this that some elder members of the family get up after Fajr time has passed and some get up when the day has broken.

Further, instead of doing something good they read first of all a newspaper or watch a news channel. If they do not see, so they do not see the Holy Quran after opening it.

If our heart were clean, we would enjoy the recitation and listening of the Holy Quran.

They used to avoid the Halal things of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ (due to piety and fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ) so much as you do not prevent yourself from Haraam things. You feel happy so much in prosperity, and they used to feel happier than you in trials. If you had seen them, you would have said that they were mad and if they had seen best people amongst you, they would have said, ‘They have no share (in the
