0:00
Salaam alaikum, as Muslims. Do we ignore the Quran or do we
0:04
give the Quran too much respect? Think about that.
0:07
But now think about this. Do the she has even open the
0:10
Quran or do. She has have an entirely
0:12
different Quran all together. Now, to unlock the quranic
0:15
Mysteries today, I'm joined as always by my brother from
0:19
another mother brother Ahmedabad salaam alaikum.
0:29
How are you? I'm good, I'm good.
0:30
But I like that like that, like that introduction.
0:34
Ready, giving me like a bunch to think about.
0:36
Okay, some interesting stuff, but we've got a special guest.
0:39
We do here to help us get into that topic somewhere.
0:42
I like home. Well I should head up aleykum
0:44
selam. I was respected chefs.
0:50
Are you? Yeah I'm delighted.
0:52
Good reasons as salaam walekum as Salam.
0:55
We have to give a shout out. He's been supporting us
0:59
supporting the team and, you know, he's always inspiring a
1:03
lot blessing. Like, I mean, like father, like
1:06
son big shoes to fill but shall I say?
1:11
So, bro, to be honest, this is obviously a huge topic Where Do
1:16
We Begin? Because the Holy Quran.
1:18
We know, of course that the importance of the Holy Quran.
1:20
It's not even something we should label as important
1:23
because it's just so evidence clear as day, you know, we And
1:26
everyone knows the foundation of our mother.
1:29
Biz had a thought balloon. I'll leave behind you weighty
1:31
things but got on Andy. I will be 811 was Salam and it's
1:36
in my opinion. These are the answers to
1:38
Salvation in the answers, to how to reach Jenna.
1:42
But of course, in theory is one thing.
1:44
But in practice it's different, you know?
1:46
So I want to ask you kind of like to kick off.
1:48
Of course, you've been reciting the Quran for how long like kind
1:52
of publicly. Maybe around 10 years, maybe
1:56
martial arts. So how was your kind of
1:59
perception when you look at it? Like from a bird's-eye view, in
2:02
terms of how the community respect or treat the Holy Quran?
2:07
Yeah, good stuff. Good question to start off with,
2:10
to be honest, I think it depends on kind of where you go, what
2:13
kind of community or our. Because, you know, I've been to
2:17
places where, you know, you get there and obviously they're
2:20
going to start off of the Holy Quran and you've got a nice
2:22
stage and you've got a nice car on to go with it.
2:24
Good. Mike system, Etc.
2:27
And you know, they put a real importance on the Holy Quran
2:29
because they know that you know, someone going to come on your
2:31
site and people are going to listen, but then you go to
2:34
communities where it's like, oh we're just going to give some
2:36
one to three minutes to read quickly, finish and then we'll
2:39
go on with our our event. So I think it kind of depends on
2:44
where you are in, what kind of community I guess.
2:47
Yeah. Yeah.
2:49
Because some people might say that it's used as like a gap
2:51
filler filler. Is it disrespectful?
2:53
I don't know. No.
2:54
I Don't think it's disrespectful because you've always having the
2:58
remembrance of Allah in the background.
2:59
Now. I think it becomes disrespectful
3:01
when you're not really paying attention to it but that's the
3:04
problem is in the background. It's not the Forefront.
3:06
Yeah, but you'd rather have that than something else on.
3:08
Yeah. But we cannot argue with
3:10
anything, you know? I mean like if the Quran if the
3:12
Holy Quran, the recitation of Quran is there for a couple of
3:14
minutes at the beginning of the event, just to tick the box.
3:17
And you know, I mean maybe it's not given the importance or
3:20
maybe what would be nice is to for example, a summary of what
3:24
some was Eating because majority of people don't understand
3:26
what's being read. So something like that maybe
3:28
gives it as a not as a gap filler in them and in the mosque
3:31
or something. I'm gonna like maybe driving off
3:33
to work, things like that. Yeah, don't get me wrong.
3:37
Yeah. Okay interesting.
3:39
All right, so this is obviously a like we said a big topic but
3:42
there's there's so much to get into but the question you asked
3:45
the beginning to say, what do you mean by that?
3:47
When you said do we respect it too much or not at all?
3:50
Because sometimes, you know, you, okay.
3:52
Let me let me say this again. So when I say, do we ignore the
3:56
Quran doesn't do, we just leave the and just open up up in the
3:59
holy month of Ramadan, for example.
4:01
And then, for example, when I said, for example, do we give it
4:04
too much, respect our. We just reading it because we're
4:07
respecting the Quran but not knowing what exactly the Quran
4:10
is talking about. And I think people like Russian
4:13
inshallah will help us understand understand the Quran
4:17
a little bit more. Now why I say this?
4:19
Because you don't just respect the hold on, you know what the
4:22
Quran is saying. There's a difference between
4:24
that Because from a young age, you've had four on installed
4:27
inside you for many hasn't been the case.
4:29
Yeah. And we just spoke to her brother
4:30
recently. He said, I've never opened Quran
4:32
since I left Arabic school, and that is shocking.
4:34
Yeah, that shocking to hear nothing wrong with it, but I'm
4:38
pretty sure it's hearing or on every now and then.
4:40
But the fact is not open in the book itself.
4:42
I think it's a, probably, a reality for many people, you
4:44
know, you know, times we all fault.
4:47
I spoke to a brother on Saturday.
4:48
He said to me, because I'm trying to make it near to read
4:51
for t.i. art at night Marshall and 40, I think of it as Like,
4:55
you know, if he's reading it like a talking speed, then he's
4:58
probably taking like three minutes to do it, but even that
5:01
he goes, at this guy's putting in his intention is efforts to
5:03
do it. He's one, maybe not three
5:05
minutes but it takes him a while 5, 10, 15 minutes.
5:08
See even that I'm struggling to do.
5:09
But that's like the bare minimum.
5:10
We know I had the Earth is telling us that to try and
5:13
fulfill but if we're not doing it on a forget, even daily
5:16
basis, but on a regular basis, maybe there's there's a gap
5:19
there. And why should what do you think
5:20
about this? Because you know, that point
5:21
about respecting the whole you're on too much, do you think
5:25
People treat it kind of like a museum ornament and I will shout
5:28
out, got a monocoque, he's a good friend of ours because
5:32
actually this is a point he made we sometimes respect it too much
5:36
to the point where we don't even go near it, we don't touch you
5:38
just sit there and Meyer. It's kind of a thing there for
5:40
protection. We leave on the Shelf.
5:41
We leave it on the Shelf. It's beautiful, it's decorated,
5:45
it's got stands. Its gold sparkly is Velvet
5:48
inside and all that, but so perfect, that we don't go near
5:51
it. Yeah, I've seen it for example,
5:54
sir. Certain places you might go to
5:56
some people's houses. You might see a very nice Quran
5:58
pop on a shelf and it just stays there.
6:00
Doesn't move, someone won't take it and run, go like a golden
6:03
box. This is like
6:18
when you're struggling, or when you haven't read the Quran, a
6:20
long time. Is when you pick up to me, he's
6:23
like example. You open the Quran, go to any
6:26
random Surah that you haven't read in a long time and you'll
6:29
see yourself struggle. Yeah and that's when you know
6:31
that you know sucking I need to kind of reconnect with the
6:34
Quran. I need to get back into it.
6:36
I like you said, for example, the brother that does for t.i.
6:39
is that might be a lot to. Some people might not be a lot,
6:41
something exactly. If it's even implementing small,
6:44
small things here and there after Federal reading Surah
6:47
yaseen, after HR meeting for a walk.
6:51
Yeah. So for example things, But these
6:55
can have a massive impact. I mean, different ayats.
6:57
Of course a different sort of have different.
6:59
Lucky says that I walk out, for example, we know.
7:01
So the walkout has recommended in the time when you need risk
7:05
and you need you need money like and there's so much beauty
7:09
within the port on whether you're trying to get a blessing
7:11
from a last month other when they're trying to get guidance,
7:13
when you're trying to understand history in the stories of the
7:15
prophets you know, peace be upon them all these.
7:17
There's there's an answer for everything in the Quran, there's
7:20
knowledge there that sometimes you don't even go out and look
7:22
to find. Maybe we don't understand that.
7:26
Maybe there's an issue with our upbringing and the way we
7:28
understand what the Quran is. Because if we're just taught us
7:30
that it's a book of stories, you know, us.
7:34
Is that the right word is plural?
7:37
Yeah. Like if we just talked and
7:38
unfortunately, sometimes, you know, from a young age, some of
7:41
our Educational Systems will teach us about the stories of
7:43
the prophets and all you, you haven't read this one.
7:45
This Surah, you know, it's it's seen as that.
7:48
And then, you know, when you get to an old age when you've got
7:49
that mentality, your mind you don't see as a book of learning
7:52
and guidance and growth and development.
7:54
Limited. Imagine if someone started a lot
7:57
of your tablet, someone said to you from tomorrow, you can never
8:00
listen anything, you know, listen to do with anything about
8:03
the actual base and the Muslim or if someone said you can't
8:05
talk about the elevator, we can't listen to a lecture about
8:07
the a little bit. You know, I'm I'm done this
8:10
religions, not for me if I can't do that.
8:12
So why do we feel comfortable with not engaging with the
8:14
Quran? But you know when it comes to
8:16
the elevator and understand where that's a red line, you
8:19
know, I mean we should be known as the Mad Hatter as the sect of
8:22
the Quran, you know? We only People see us as the
8:25
sect of the Athlon bait because that's what we have to do to
8:28
differentiate ourselves. We have love for the a little
8:30
bit. Why can't we be known for our
8:32
love of the Holy Quran? Oh yeah, you're absolutely
8:34
right. I've met because you know being
8:35
from the school of the head Baker handling we are blessed to
8:38
be on the spot and going back to the Hadith of sakhalin.
8:40
You mentioned earlier, what Allah said in it are in.
8:43
It are click on the circle line because our below actually, I
8:46
leave behind you to wait. She thinks the or on and my
8:49
eyelid base and if you hold on to them, you would never go
8:52
astray. So that just goes to show that.
8:54
Or on and the activate, go hand in hand.
8:57
So we need to give them both the importance that they deserve
9:00
and, you know, rush it, your recital.
9:02
Yeah, so you recite martial law, you go all the way from the
9:05
Quran to add on from mobile is an ashy to eulogies.
9:08
So you are like the full package as well as one man - yeah, even
9:14
go. As far as he honors and martial
9:16
law. So you have the best of both
9:19
worlds, quranic recites are. Yeah, and sites.
9:22
Are that remembers the eulogies and Also, recited celebration
9:26
diagonal Bates. Do you feel any difference when
9:28
you go to sentence, when it's time to recite ya for the Alan
9:32
Bates and when a star or any precipitation, how's the crowd?
9:36
Yeah. It's a good question because
9:40
I've been to places where, for example and we start the Quran.
9:43
Mmm. Start at the beginning of the
9:45
program and you look around the hole and you maybe see if I have
9:48
six people or even maybe a little bit more some are on
9:53
their phones, some are just chatting or not really listening
9:56
other people might be listening but what I'm trying to say is
9:59
that there's not really any attention.
10:01
For example, when someone's list reciting, obscene centers
10:03
actually give chai in Jerusalem. Wow, yeah wow yeah you know
10:07
what's crazy is? Well soaked into But you're my
10:10
style. Like your voice is like amazing.
10:14
And if that's what you're finding, when most people would
10:17
be Starstruck listening to you, I found his voice by for Quran.
10:21
Yes. Amy, I didn't fast know if you
10:23
recite. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:24
If that's how you find it when you've got such a nice voice,
10:26
Masha, Allah, imagine those who are not professionals or maybe a
10:30
are reciting for the first or second time in public.
10:33
They must be finding the response from the crowd even
10:35
worse and then, you know, not really feeling it.
10:37
Yeah. Some might be even put off.
10:39
Yeah. Yeah, I've had some people say,
10:40
to me, for example, I read that X place and no one paid
10:43
attention to me. So, what's the point?
10:45
What's the point? I don't really, I'm not really
10:48
interested, no, more kind of thing.
10:49
And it's a bit sad that, you know, people have to think like
10:51
that when again, like you said the so much importance of the
10:55
Holy Quran, but again, like you said, moving on to, for example,
10:58
eulogies your recital at Mia the whole full packed.
11:03
You see so many people Everyone listening reciting back with you
11:07
but if only it was that same, One.
11:09
It's reading Quran. And I think it's all about
11:12
finding that balance. As you said, they go hand in
11:15
hand. Mmm, so there's to blame as if
11:18
the sensors the parents always ourselves such a late question,
11:22
isn't it? But it's probably so many Truths
11:24
Behind it because, of course, we use.
11:25
Look at, for example, the other Sunnah, they are Muslims.
11:30
We are Muslims. We build in the UK.
11:32
For example, they're born in the UK, we go to the same secular
11:35
schools. We both have for example,
11:37
weekend, Sunday, schools or Saturday schools of Whatever
11:40
both schools teach or on one month, Hub is known for the
11:44
recitation of the Quran. And one is known not to have the
11:46
same degree of of, of, of importance or status or quality
11:51
when reciting Holy Quran. So it could be a case, where I
11:54
Educational Systems may be on focusing enough.
11:56
It could be a case where, with parenting, for example, where we
11:59
put more importance on on Muharram and they, this, to be
12:03
honest, let's be real as she ours, because we're so emotional
12:05
and passionate about things like Muharram, we end up making that
12:08
our religion and Getting the wholesome in the holistic
12:11
message of Allah subhanaw taala which is in the Holy Quran and
12:14
within Yahoo based on a Muslim. Gio I'm saying so we are drawn
12:17
to people sometimes more than we ought to text.
12:20
So I think there's like a like a established or drawn to the
12:23
walking and talking caller. Yeah.
12:25
Yeah, it's true. Let me know moment.
12:27
Yeah. Sense.
12:28
But you know, and But ultimately, look, I'll be
12:30
honest, it's down to us, you know, we go Jama Lama.
12:34
Last point I was not going to say, why did you not read the
12:37
Quran? And I'm in my 20s.
12:39
He's and I'm having a normal Thursday, for example.
12:41
And I'm like, oh yeah, when I was young my Madras, I didn't
12:43
teach me your car, it's not going to suffice to because you
12:46
can, you should and can, and we can pick up the Quran at any
12:48
time, any place. It's interesting.
12:50
You mentioned, you know, our brothers from other schools of
12:52
thought. Yeah.
12:53
They prior prioritize more on the reciting of the Quran, for
12:57
example. And I've seen a martial law,
12:58
they do a lot of memorizing. Yeah, yeah.
13:02
So, the kids from a very, very young age, they're going weakly.
13:05
Yeah relatives, they're pretty much memorized.
13:07
Almost entire chromosome. I wouldn't say they more
13:10
priority to the Quran than us but by the impression of that is
13:13
that what I just think the numbers are higher.
13:15
If there is maybe more, maybe fact, I think about 70%
13:19
anunciar. Of course, they're going to say
13:21
they recite more on. Let's be completely honest said,
13:24
let me, let me be honest with you.
13:26
If we talk about the general, let's say I like the circle of
13:30
our community or our age group, someone's driving in the car.
13:35
You would rather some people would rather play by some kind
13:37
of blithe. And for example, place Is so
13:39
that man, for example, for example, and you reality such,
13:42
maybe it's because you keep your touch the poetry and, you know,
13:45
you love the recital and so on, but at the same time, maybe it's
13:49
a lack of understanding as to what the sir I can give you or
13:51
what the Holy Quran can do for us and do for you.
13:54
And maybe that's why rather than I prefer one of the over the
13:58
other. But then that comes back to our
13:59
understanding of the Quran, do we understand what it's for
14:01
what? It's what it's uses, what
14:03
benefit we can gain from it because at the end, they the
14:05
parameters again from us to recite.
14:07
Yeah, you know, we gave away here from I think saying that
14:10
like, I've seen times where, for example, if someone has an
14:14
issue, someone has a problem. Something going wrong in
14:16
someone's life, that's when they turn back to the Quran.
14:19
But all this time, where I'll handle everything is going,
14:22
well, it shouldn't be a thing where if something is going run
14:25
in one's life that we should be turning back to the Quran, the
14:28
Quran should always be the lowest be a thing that we open.
14:31
We that we read that we turn to know you're right.
14:34
All right. And and he mentions a very you
14:36
mention a very important point when you said people only turn
14:39
to And in times of need, for example, and I've seen it
14:41
happen. People only recite for example,
14:43
I took karate when they're traveling.
14:44
Yes, they want safety. For example, all you mentioned
14:47
earlier, there are some shorts on what kind of work for
14:49
example, even that like not many people.
14:51
Sorry. So you are seen when there's a
14:52
death. So there's a marriage.
14:54
Like yeah, we only used when we think is beneficial to us only
15:00
but whereas Quran is beneficial to everything.
15:03
Yeah. Our whole life, to be honest,
15:05
because you mentioned on the stories and I forgot the
15:08
Coronavirus. Stories.
15:10
When I was young, I speak Arabic school.
15:12
Yeah. And for example we have solar
15:14
cell field. Allah, Allah, Allah had a class
15:16
all these chapters. All these chapters from from
15:21
Judah am, I would learn all the stories one by one.
15:24
I really do understand just a time in its entirety martial law
15:28
and it's a story for everyone because growing up, it's all
15:30
about, for example, you know, as you said, but only here in
15:34
images for about 23 minutes or for example, you know, only in
15:37
the times of need If that continue it from childhood to
15:41
your teenager, even towards your adult adulthood now, be amazing.
15:45
And I remember sentence, grown up my center, console album.
15:48
Since I was 11, I think they deserve a shout out here.
15:50
When I was young, every Tuesday, every Thursday, and some Fridays
15:56
before, the main modulus will have a Quran teacher.
15:59
I will have about, I think, almost 20 kids will shortly, see
16:02
around and will recite the Noble Qur'an and they'll correct our
16:06
mistakes. Don't fix our pronounciations
16:08
and Old be with community support.
16:12
And what was so beautiful about it.
16:14
Every time, there was like a mullet events that will hold
16:17
back an award ceremony for us. Yeah.
16:19
So give us prizes, like, you know, fake guns and stuff like
16:22
this for reciting, the Quran. And there was encouragement.
16:25
And we are, you proud and recognized front of our fathers
16:28
and mothers that we read Quran. But that ended as soon as like,
16:32
you left, what your teenage years, I think the community.
16:35
The fact that we remember stories that I remember my
16:37
graduation from what we call the small car.
16:39
Iran. The learning part of the, to the
16:41
normal Quran and it was a big deal.
16:43
Everyone wearing suits, you get a gift, they give you an
16:46
envelope of money back in the day.
16:48
Basically, like it was proper encouragement.
16:50
Masha, Allah, but I don't see that happening.
16:52
Doesn't that? I don't want, maybe it does.
16:54
But I don't know to be honest because, you know, we're past
16:56
that but at least we know for us and you said, 13, back in the
16:59
day. By the way, as free as I was
17:03
saying, you shouldn't charge for thought on lessons.
17:05
That's someone, give them but there's a man profession this
17:08
because it was I think every parent you sent their kids but
17:12
now there's money involved. What's more important?
17:14
Yeah, but now we have YouTube, for example, we've got
17:17
everything there and even to be honest, a lot of the center's,
17:22
still do Quran circles and stuff like that, forget even for the
17:25
kids, for us, we talked about the elevator, never Salam, ya,
17:28
firstly, how can we understand the activate and what they stood
17:31
for, if we don't start the Quran?
17:32
How can we prove without a minimum in in?
17:34
And he said, if we don't understand the verse in the
17:35
Quran, which proved they will have a minimum you need, you
17:38
know, we know, for example, Example, I did a lot of what I
17:40
tell, so what I'm going to be income, you know, we know that
17:44
this verse, for example, specific that minimum in, in,
17:46
from out of our state. And we know there's so many
17:48
other verses about the deer and about I thought here and so many
17:51
so on and so forth. You know, that is, in many ways,
17:54
a foundation and a proof, and a guidance to understand our
17:57
religion, better and vice versa. We use our other than a Muslim
18:00
to understand the Quran better. So, it does not make sense.
18:04
If I claim to be like a die-hard Xi'an Muslim, because I beat my
18:08
chest, The a little bit and I do the loudest, not a hater.
18:11
If they are not bait and I go to all the without that and the
18:14
shahadat and all that stuff. But I have no attachment on your
18:18
own, it doesn't add up. You can't have one without the
18:20
other is like having rain without clouds.
18:21
It doesn't make sense. So either we improve our
18:24
relationship with the Quran. That's like Solution.
18:27
That's a question for. Maybe you start this from what
18:30
age, probably run for 5 years old.
18:35
I think one thing that helped me was being in that environment,
18:39
I'm just constantly listening to Quran, whether even if you're
18:42
not reading it, for example, but at least if you're just sitting
18:45
there and listening to it and being an environment where you
18:48
just keep constantly hearing it that that helps you to get close
18:53
to the Quran. And then also, for example,
18:55
things like you mentioned earlier, you need a home, by the
18:57
way, when you yes at home. Yeah, but like, obviously, like
19:00
7Up. I'm just sitting down, not doing
19:02
anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:04
Such a nice simple as that, the Quran.
19:08
And then obviously, for Grand circus.
19:09
As you mentioned, you could have a bunch of people who haven't
19:12
read the Quran in a long time. It might be a bit Rusty, but
19:15
they will be able to get through and it will be able to help
19:18
everyone to be able to recite the Quran.
19:20
Also, you know, reaching out to teachers, for example, just
19:24
Rican reconnecting with the Quran.
19:26
I think that's the most important thing and I ask you a
19:28
question. Yeah, you and me and our, our
19:31
Origins are not native, Arabic speakers.
19:33
Okay. So for a lot of our communities,
19:38
there's nervous, Earnest about reciting on your car, on my
19:41
Maharaj, my pronunciation might be bad, even me?
19:43
Yeah, I mean, that might be true to God's because I have a lot of
19:46
friends, friends. One thing you don't want to make
19:47
a mistake. Yeah, I must be pressure must be
19:49
higher as well, because if you're a native Arab, you know,
19:52
but what would you say to someone?
19:54
If they said to you, I want to. I have a friend who told me like
19:58
probably a week or two back, you know, he's in his mid late 20s,
20:02
and he's an Asian. And he said to me, he goes, I
20:06
don't feel like I can recite Quran publicly because firstly,
20:08
my And I'll stations is bad is what he said.
20:12
And secondly, from a young age I didn't give it time or I wasn't
20:15
putting in an environment while you're psychic or on regularly
20:18
now, I feel like it's too late. I'm 28 29 years old and I don't
20:21
have an option. So what would you say something?
20:23
If they said that to you? Firstly I don't think it's too
20:26
late. I think, you know it doesn't
20:28
matter what how old you are, you could be 50, you could be 20
20:31
could be 10 as soon as for example you have someone there
20:35
to help you and to guide you to learn.
20:37
For example, the rulings of the Court.
20:39
On how to recite the Quran. For example, if you want to go
20:41
far as learning Melodies of the Holy Quran, you can do that.
20:44
But essentially you need, I think the biggest thing for
20:49
someone who isn't confident or doesn't know as much when it
20:52
comes to. For example, the rulings of the
20:54
Quran is to get yourself a teacher and Mentor.
20:57
Someone that knows the Quran and can help you and teach you and
21:00
go through it with you because that's literally how all of us,
21:04
learn. You know, we had someone there,
21:05
who taught us who went through it with us, we made mistakes.
21:09
But you fix those mistakes, you continue.
21:11
And that's one way, and I actually know someone who had
21:14
was in the exact same situation. Really, he wasn't reciting Quran
21:18
and he didn't really pay much attention to.
21:19
And I think we can say, Obviously we don't pay much
21:21
attention but I think we're having a discussion about this
21:24
is a it where you can always come back to the Quran and the
21:26
Quran will come back to you. It's hard to land of thing.
21:28
So if we go to the Quran or come back to us and we can be able to
21:33
upload question. Yeah, what was your earliest
21:36
memory of the Quran? The earliest memory.
21:41
My earliest memory would probably be.
21:44
I was sitting down in the same room because me and my mom will
21:49
just saying having a little chat and then she was like, come
21:51
over. She was like, bring the Quran
21:53
with you. We sat there to Zama started
21:57
reading. I made a few mistakes, she
21:59
corrected me, and that's something for example.
22:03
I used to do a lot with my mom with my dad.
22:05
I love listening to teachers, William mean likewise and yeah,
22:10
that that was one of my eye. Earliest memories when it comes
22:12
to the Quran. I think a lot of us were blessed
22:14
with that. You know, it goes to show the
22:15
importance of parents and the role they play.
22:18
Yeah, it really does. You know my for me, my
22:21
grandmother was my, my teacher and Masha, Allah, she's been
22:24
teaching Quran 2 classes for years.
22:26
So a home where was no slacking. Basically, from a young age,
22:30
Masha, Allah, and it was, it was nice.
22:32
We used to have a, it was so sweet.
22:33
We was probably like, I remember, 34 years old, we have
22:37
fruit points, she's told them every parties.
22:39
Yeah. Honestly.
22:40
I'm because it was in, In the bedroom and on my first house
22:44
growing up and choose to call it like a fruit party.
22:47
So she would incentivize us say look, we're gonna have different
22:51
fruits and we'll kind of like a chill out, but you got to do
22:53
half and half court on with me young age.
22:55
So we're doing the alphabet and we do flutter, customer all that
22:58
stuff. It was really nice and I think I
23:00
got to show us as parents for many of us who are parents to
23:03
young children, no matter how young you know, there's always
23:06
an opportunity and even from it the youngest of Ages your
23:09
children could pick up on The Melodies of the earlier course.
23:11
Iron on the, the pronunciations and these things.
23:13
When they're learning language one or two years old, it will
23:17
become embedded in them and their vocabulary, and, you know,
23:20
the voice box will get used to these kind of things.
23:23
It's really important because it says, and I remember, speaking
23:26
of memories. No, just remember, literally
23:28
just run with us now. It was like five and I have one
23:32
sister Elder than mission one year.
23:33
One year Gap difference. So she was six, I think other
23:35
time and the person that was teaching a foreigner home,
23:38
wasn't my mom or dad by the way. One of my sisters Marsha and I
23:42
think she was maybe I think 14 or 15 at that time.
23:46
Just remember that now. Yeah.
23:48
Well she's definitely my parents and to be honest, like everyone
23:54
at home, if your parent or anything, first thing you got to
23:57
do is subscribe to off tomorrow night before you take the second
24:00
thing you got to do is teach your kids.
24:02
The Quran. That's that's like the most
24:04
important thing in sha Allah. Russian want to ask you
24:06
something else. Okay.
24:07
Yeah, we've talked about the Quran and, and Like how we can
24:12
gain from the Quran. Okay, so we know we go home.
24:15
Let's have an issue in my mind. I pretty much.
24:17
Am I going to salute? I talked a lot about to Allah,
24:19
but the Quran is a, is a way of Allah talking to us.
24:23
Yeah, it's the only form of communication that is directly
24:27
visibly tangibly there between a lot on us, you know, how can you
24:32
kind of put into words or express it to us about how the
24:37
Quran is so special to you in the way that a lot Works to you?
24:41
All the way that you've seen it talk to people, you know?
24:43
I mean, I think it's more than just opening the Quran and
24:45
reading the Quran. I think, for example, going into
24:48
reading the translation of the Quran as well on same time.
24:51
If you open certain Suarez, they have certain stories or for
24:54
example, if you're going for a certain thing, the Quran might
24:56
teach you, for example, how to go through that same thing.
25:00
So I think it's, I think it goes hand-in-hand with reciting the
25:05
Quran, but also learning the translation of what you're
25:07
reading because that could also have an impact on you.
25:10
I think the Russians are so So amazing and inspiring for
25:12
everyone. If if I'm honest and I have a,
25:15
maybe it's not you won't get any money from.
25:17
This was a million-dollar question.
25:18
I like to use this phrase million dollar question as
25:22
someone who struggles to open the Quran every single day.
25:25
You know I'm not as blessed as you when it comes to the quranic
25:29
recitations. How can I?
25:31
Let's say I'm an amateur. When it comes to Quran, for
25:33
example, how can I improve my relationship with the Quran?
25:37
Any tips or tricks? I think secrets I think it's
25:41
probably just relate back to what I said earlier about being
25:46
in the environment of Quran. So that example earlier I know
25:49
you said for example, we get in the car and we play Bassam
25:53
straightaway. Yeah, I've done this before.
25:54
I play a launch title, we've all done this before instead of
26:00
playing us? Sorry, go ahead instead of
26:05
playing possum. Why don't we play the Quran?
26:08
Hmm. Or for example it might be in
26:10
the morning. You wake up.
26:11
Cup, you have a few minutes here in the anime at the same time.
26:13
How can we say that? Do we really have time for the
26:16
Quran? Are you telling me that we don't
26:18
have 5-10 minutes in a day where we can't?
26:20
For example, it's on our phone quickly.
26:22
Oh, let's go to exo-ls. Recite a few verses just to kind
26:26
of get closer to the Quran as time goes on.
26:29
You'll find the easier to recite the Quran because you're doing
26:31
more practice. So that in itself, make you love
26:35
the Quran more. And there's also loads of
26:38
answers in the Quran, like, how many times have we Thought about
26:41
something and we're wondering at what is this lamp say about
26:45
this, or what happened, in this part of Islamic history, or
26:50
something like that. And we just search it and we
26:52
search it with the word Quran. I guarantee you.
26:54
There's also the largest that for example, it could be, you
26:57
know, I don't have any times. What does the Quran say about
26:59
this? Yes, exactly.
27:01
You know, it's interesting as well on my way.
27:03
Thanks Google. There you go.
27:06
We are Big 12. You like it's interesting.
27:09
I was I was thinking about this a few days ago I was Thinking
27:11
about situation which is tough. I didn't really want to get into
27:13
it. I was thinking like is it the
27:15
right thing for me? This is difficult decision or
27:17
whatever and I opened up court on and it directed me basically
27:23
to a part what I do I wasn't the best I opened but as I said no
27:27
no no I was just basically reading or on and also I was
27:30
doing research online and I found the best one last month
27:33
Allah says. And we talked about actually in
27:36
last week's podcast as well. I think it was last week's when
27:39
SWAT and bucket out, if I'm not mistaken.
27:41
Respond to Allah says and he's talking about Jihad in that
27:43
verse be saying you may love something and it's not good for
27:46
you. You don't love something it's
27:47
good for you and you don't know it.
27:48
Jonathan that's human. It had enough cinnamon.
27:50
Yeah she had enough and and it's relevant to our date and I told
27:54
you like I went to I was going through something that first
27:56
came to me. You know there's life lessons in
27:59
the pot on the biggest self-development book.
28:02
We can read Think and Grow Rich and how to win friends and
28:05
influence all these. Like, you know, I mean business
28:07
minded motivational books bro, why are we reading that stuff
28:10
when we got the home? You put on if you're looking for
28:12
inspirational stories or self development or how to achieve
28:15
your goals or how to attain perfection in the eyes of God,
28:18
and so on so forth. Everything's there.
28:20
Like if I'm busy because I'm working like long hours and I'm
28:25
focused on my, my work, then look around, can support that it
28:29
can. If anything is supplement in,
28:30
improve it if I'm focused on my kids, I've got no time.
28:33
Where else can I go? If I have got the Quran, you
28:35
we're happy to quote about Hadith about raising kids were
28:38
happy to quote stories about the imams.
28:40
How these two Jobs. But when it comes to the Quran,
28:43
we don't find relevant example. At least we're finding some
28:45
relevance. Yep.
28:46
That's 50%. Yeah, I mean but you know, there
28:49
must be we can improve our yeah, sure, yeah, sure.
28:51
All of us, my soul myself, everyone everyone listening at.
28:54
There's nothing wrong. Like you said about playing
28:55
bouillabaisse into the car, playing with your ass, in the
28:57
car. Like, this is a good thing.
28:59
Like, you know, how on the way somewhere?
29:02
Listen to your father on the way back from loving, you know, the
29:04
value and the importance of the Quran.
29:06
And we find a struggle with the fact we find the same thing,
29:11
How, you know, shape and overpowers us to choose to
29:15
ignore the no recite every day, for example.
29:18
I think this satanic Whispers. Yeah, yeah, honestly, honestly,
29:21
and I think we've got to change our mindset about it or we, you
29:25
know, we have to if we if I'm running event in my community.
29:29
For example, I should try and give more attention to the pot,
29:32
on quote, it in my, it asked the speaker to quote in in his
29:36
lectures. If some was reciting Quran in
29:37
the beginning, maybe summarize it before and after you know,
29:40
things like that. I think Community is also
29:42
should, maybe try and do more when it comes to Quran.
29:44
Obviously, these things are good that we've mentioned.
29:46
But for example, hosting events for Quran.
29:49
Yeah, copulation exactly like competition.
29:51
That's one way that's brought many people together.
29:53
Yeah. Yeah.
29:54
To love the Quran even more, you know, forget even incentives or
29:57
you might win. Just in general.
29:58
People are coming together and they're reciting Quran, and
30:01
they're enjoying it. Who are you?
30:02
Speaking of competitions? There was a recent competition
30:04
last year and that made me fall in love with what on?
30:08
Yeah, I just got wash honest to God.
30:10
Yeah. Part from my jollies funerals.
