اللّٰه!  مجھے حافظِ قرآن بنا دے

قرآن کے اَحکام پہ بھی مجھ کو چلا دے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Have you noticed how great the blessings of the recitation of the Holy Quran are! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is praising such people. Moreover, abundant virtues have also been mentioned for them in blessed Ahadees.

The reciters of the Holy Quran have been declared to be the special servants of Allah Almighty. Further, the person who recites the Holy Quran for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will neither feel any kind of nervousness nor will be asked for accountability on the Judgement Day. Just ponder! How great deprival it is to not recite the Holy Quran despite so many blessings and favours!

On the other hand, our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی had such a great yearning for reciting the Holy Quran that they would deeply ponder over each blessed Ayah and would recite the Holy Quran with extreme pleasure and delight. One pious person رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: I start one Surah and observe such a thing in it that I remain standing until the morning, but the Surah does not get completed. (Ihya-ul-‘Ulum, pp: 852)

It is narrated about another pious person رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه who has stated: I do not consider the blessed Ayah, which I recite without understanding and attention, to be a source of reward. (Ihya-ul-‘Ulum, pp: 852) Sayyiduna Sulayman Daarani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: When I recite an Ayah of the Holy Quran, I spend four or five nights pondering over it. If I do not stop myself pondering over it, I do not get time for the next Ayah. (Ihya-ul-‘Ulum pp: 852) Ameer-ul-Momineen Sayyiduna Usman Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ would recite the Holy Quran so abundantly that 2 copies of the Holy Quran were worn-out
