کنز الایمان اے خدا میں کاش روزانہ پڑھوں

پڑھ کے تفسیر اس کی پھر اس پر عمل کرتا رہوں

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

People fond of recitation

Dear Islamic brothers! Our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی would recite the Holy Quran with great pleasure and delight. In this regard, let’s listen to more faith-refreshing parables of these righteous personages.

Sayyiduna Shaykh Bahauddeen Zakariyya Multani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had extraordinary interest and enthusiasm for the recitation of the Holy Quran. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would recite one Holy Quran every night.

(Tazkirah Hadrat Bahauddeen Zakariyya Multani, pp. 76)

One night, Sayyiduna Shaykh Bahauddeen Zakariyya Multani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said to his friends: Is there a person amongst you who can offer two Rak’aat tonight and recite one complete Quran in one Rak’at. No one from the attendees had this courage. Shaykh Bahauddeen Zakariyya رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stood himself and started two Rak’aat Salah. In the first Rak’at, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه recited the whole Quran and further 4 parts and then recited Surah Al-Ikhlas in the second Rak’at and completed the Salah. (Fawa`id-ul-Fuwaad - Translated, pp. 62)

It was the routine of Sayyiduna Shaykh Bahauddeen Zakariyya رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would start the Holy Quran after Tahajjud Salah and would complete it prior to Fajr Salah. (Shan-e-Awliya, pp. 252)

Similarly, Sayyiduna Hasan Karabeesi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: I spent many nights with Sayyiduna Imam Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. I saw that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would offer Salah one-third of the night and would not recite more than 50 verses. If he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had recited more, even then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would not recite 100 verses. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would recite the verse of mercy, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would make Du’a to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for himself and for all the true believers to
