3.   The Noble Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم would be prepared at all times to sacrifice everything for the sake of Islam and teaching the Quran. Unfortunately, the passion of making sacrifices for the sake of Islam is becoming scarce; there must be many among us who know how to recite the Quran correctly, but sadly, when there is mention of teaching others, we make excuses of being busy. Those blessed personalities would travel to various cities and countries in order to teach the Quran, but our state is such that we are not prepared to give even a few minutes for the Madrassa-tul-Madina Baalighan in our local Masjid.

There are a number of people in our homes, neighbourhoods, shops, factories and offices who do not know how to recite the Quran even whilst looking, therefore, rid yourself of laziness and make an effort! Develop within yourself a passion of wishing well for the Muslims and become occupied in teaching them the Quran. What can be said about the reward for teaching someone the Quran? Even if we teach a single verse to a person, there is an unimaginable reward for that. Let us listen to four sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this regard:

The reward for teaching the Quran

1.   He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘Whosoever taught one verse of the Quran or a Sunnah of the religion, Allah Almighty will grant him such a reward on the Day of Judgement that no one else will receive a better reward than it.’ (Jam’-ul-Jawami’, vol. 7, p. 209, Hadith 22454)
