that person who worships the entire night and completes the entire Quran in one Rak’at. (Az-Zuhd Lil Imam Ahmad, pp. 153, Hadees 673)

   ۔4Abdur Rahman Taymi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه states: ‘Once, I was at Maqam-e-Ibraheem and the night fell. I went to Maqam-e-Ibraheem after offering Isha Salah, to the extent that when I stood there, a person placed his hand between my shoulders in the meanwhile. When I looked behind, he was Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna Usman Bin ‘Affaan رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ. A little while later, he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ started reciting the Holy Quran from Surah e Fatihah, to the extent that he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ completed the entire Quran. (Az-Zuhd Li-Ibn-ul-Mubarak, pp. 452, Hadees 1276)

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                 صَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Just imagine that the companion who was blessed to marry two daughters of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم one after the other, the one who was given the glad tidings of Paradise by the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the state of his love for worship and devotion for reciting the Holy Quran was such that his day and night would be spent in worshipping and reciting the Holy Quran.

On the other hand, we lose most of our time in useless activities. Days and nights are spent in heedlessness. We neither have time to worship nor to recite the Holy Quran. Yet we have ample time for worldly matters. We waste our precious time using social media (needlessly) and playing games on mobile phones.

Many of them would be such who مَعَاذَ اللہ would fall asleep at the time of Fajr Salah.  Some ignorant people fall into using mobile phone or internet so deeply that they don’t even get to know about time. Alas! Extreme level of heedlessness and laziness is shown when it comes to offering Faraaid and Wajibat, Nawafil, Salah and reciting the Holy Quran.

In order to develop the passion and yearning for worship and recitation of the Holy Quran, let’s listen to two blessed sayings of the Holy Prophet  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and develop a habit for these.
