📖Imam al-Shāfiʿī advised his student al-Rabīʿ ibn Sulaymān (may Allah have mercy on them), saying: أوصى الشافعي تلميذه الربيع بن سليمان رحمهم الله، فقال له: «وإذا أردت صلاح قلبك أو ابنك أو أخيك، أو من شئت صلاحه، فأودعه في رياض القرآن، وبين صحبة القرآن،…

📖O teachers of Qur’ān: Attach the memorisers to Allah, not to yourselves; to the Qur’ān, not to places; and to reward, not to grades. Do not corrupt the purity of their hearts with “excellent” and “weak,” for true opening (success) is from Allah. O memorisers everywhere: Grades will perish, records will vanish, but the Ayāt will remain in the heart as light, and from them comes a way of life.♥️

📖Imam al-Shāfiʿī advised his student al-Rabīʿ ibn Sulaymān (may Allah have mercy on them), saying: أوصى الشافعي تلميذه الربيع بن سليمان رحمهم الله، فقال له: «وإذا أردت صلاح قلبك أو ابنك أو أخيك، أو من شئت صلاحه، فأودعه في رياض القرآن، وبين صحبة القرآن، سيصلحه الله شاء أم أبى، بإذنه تعالى» “If you desire the rectification of your heart, or your son, or your brother, or anyone whose rectification you wish for, then place them in the gardens of the Qur’an and in the companionship of the Qur’an. Allah will rectify them, whether they will it or not, by His permission.” — Ḥilyat al-Awliyāʾ of Abū Nuʿaym (9/123)♥️

📖 He said: “Give me some advice!” I replied: “Hasten to memorise the Qur’ān before you regret it. Make the most of your strength before old age overtakes you. And combine your memorisation with understanding and action, for this is the path to true honour and lofty heights.”♥️

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah, We are producing a series for Tarteel, and I'm looking for a small number of brothers to feature. The shoot is a single studio day on Sunday 16th August [London]. We're filming a range of formats built around recitation and memorisation, live recitation challenges verified by the app, spot-testing huffadh, mistake-detection challenges, Q&A and short teaching clips, all designed to be genuinely engaging and shareable. Who we're looking for: aspiring huffadh, teachers or students of knowledge who are energetic and fairly confident on camera. What's involved: one professionally produced day, scripts prepared in advance, content published across Tarteel's platforms, and all clips made available for your own channels. An honorarium of £200 is offered for the day. If you're interested or would like to know more, please message us at wa.me/447378461404. Places are limited and the date is close, so do reach out soon. Jazakumullahu khayran.

📖Recite by Night, Conquer by Day After the Battle of Qadisiyyah (15 AH), Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas sent a letter to 'Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, relaying to him the good news of the victory. In the letter, he mentioned: 'Sa'd b. Ubayd the Reciter was martyred, and so-and-so, and so-and so was martyred, and men amongst the Muslims who are only known to Allah; He surely knows them... When night would fall, they would recite the Qur'ān like the buzzing of the bees; and during the day, they were lions unlike any other.' Life With Allah ♥️

📖The Prophet ﷺ said no people gather to recite the Book of Allah except that tranquility descends upon them... Alhamdullilah, in collaboration with the National Qur'an Camp and Imam Shatibi insitute, we hosted one of the UK's largest Qur'an camps, 200+ students, world-class teachers, and beautiful moments. The full documentary is out now: ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKudCsoZKzw Watch it, then send it to one person who needs the reminder. May Allah make us all from Ahlul Qur'an. Āmīn.🤍

جدّد عهدك مع القرآن في كل صباحٍ ومساء! قال ابن القيم – رحمه الله –: “فإن قراءة القرآن بتدبّر تُعطي العبد قوّةً في قلبه وحياةً، وسعةً وانشراحًا وبهجةً وسرورًا؛ فيصير في شأنٍ، والناس في شأنٍ آخر.” Renew your covenant with the Qur’an every morning and evening. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “Reciting the Qur’an with reflection grants a person strength in the heart, true life, expansiveness, tranquility, joy, and happiness. As a result, they become occupied with a completely different state, while the rest of the people remain occupied with another.” ❤️

NEW PODCAST | Abubakr Karimabadi From East London, to Cambridge, to leading Taraweeh, studying law, working in the corporate world, and witnessing Allah's incredible provision throughout his journey, this is a conversation I genuinely believe will benefit every one of us. I first came across Abubakr's story around four or five years ago, right at the beginning of the Hifdhstatus Podcast. Years later, Allah placed the thought in our minds to finally reach out to him. SubhanAllah, he had just returned from Hajj, which led to some incredibly deep reflections that I don't think we would've had otherwise. We spoke about beginning hifdh with the wrong intentions, how Allah gradually purifies our hearts through the Qur'an, balancing the Qur'an with a career in law, leading Taraweeh, and so much more. 🎙️ Watch the full episode here May Allah reward our dear brother Abubakr Karimabadi for sharing his journey so openly, make us all from Ahlul Qur'an, and allow this conversation to benefit everyone who watches it.

هو مشروعٌ يبدأ بحرف، ثم آية، ثم جزء، ثم عمر كامل من الصحبة، مشروعٌ لا يقاس بكثرة المحفوظ، بل بعمق الأثر فإن الطرق كلها قد تنقطع إلا طريق القرآن، والمشاريع كلها قد تفشل، إلا هذا المشروع. It is a journey that begins with a single letter, then an Āyah, then a Juz', until it becomes a lifetime of companionship with the Qur’ān. It is a journey measured not by how much you have memorised, but by the depth of its impact upon you. Every other path may come to an end, and every other project may fail, but this journey with the Qur’ān never does.❤️

Imam Malik رحمه الله said: “Medina was conquered by the Qur’ān.” This is what happened when the Prophet ﷺ sent Mus’ab ibn ’Umayr to Medina before his migration (Hijrah). He instructed him that when he reached them, he should let them hear the Qur’ān. So he did, and because of that, many of them embraced Islam. “فتحت المدينة بالقرآن”

📖To the honoured teachers of the Qur'ān In this age of distraction, our world stands in urgent need of those who cultivate Qur'ānic excellence. You sow goodness in young hearts and water souls with the Āyāt of Allah ﷻ until they bloom with īmān, guidance and light. "Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves, reciting to you Our verses, purifying you, and teaching you the Book and wisdom." [2:151] So carry your calling with three things: • gentleness in spirit • steadfastness in example • sincerity in intention The teacher who embodies the Qur'ān becomes like the rain: wherever it descends, life awakens and faith takes root. And know this: though the world may overlook your quiet service, its reward resounds in both worlds.♥️

📖How you live today is how you die tomorrow. How you die tomorrow is how you'll be resurrected. Prepare for the journey ahead.

القرآن اصطفاءٌ من الله - عزّ وجلّ - رُبَّما أعظمُ نعمةٍ اختصَّكَ اللهُ بها ليست ذكاءً، ولا قدرةً، ولا موهبةً، بل أن فتحَ لك بابَ القرآن. فلا تُفَرِّطْ في بابٍ فُتِحَ لك، وحُرِمَ منه كثيرٌ من الناس. The Qur'ān is a divine selection from Allah ﷻ. Perhaps the greatest blessing Allah has singled you out with is not intelligence, ability, or talent, but that He opened the door of the Qur'ān for you. So do not neglect a door that Allah has opened for you, while so many others have been deprived of it.

Alhamdulillah, we completed our Khatmah. May Allah accept it from every single one of us, and from all the brothers and sisters who joined us at any point along this journey. SubhanAllah, many of you tuned in from wherever life had you, from work, from home, some sitting with your families week after week. This Halaqah travelled with us. From London to Makkah, to Qatar, to Malaysia, and we concluded it here, in the land where so many of these very ayat were revealed. Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. We were honoured to be joined by Shaykh Jamal, Shaykh Uzair, and Shaykh Musa Abu Zaghleh, who shared beautiful reflections, advice, and closing Duas that were truly befitting of this moment. May Allah accept it from us all. Ameen.

Alhamdullillah...what an honour that Allah has bestowed upon us, to complete the Qur'an on such a day. A day where Allah brought victory to his believers, and saved our beloved prophet Musa and those with him from the cluthes of the tyrants. For us to be joined by our Mashayyikh. For our Duas of the Khatmah to coincide with the Dua of a fasting person. All praise belongs to Allah in the beginning and end! And may Allah unite us with the greats who strove, and sacrificed their blood, sweat and tears so we could recite the Qur'an today.

بسم اللّٰه الرَحمٰن الرحيم Tonight, by the grace of Allah, we complete our Khatmah, exactly two years after we began. SubhanAllah, on a day when many are fasting, on the blessed day Allah saved Musa 'alayhi salam and His servant from the clutches of tyrants, we gather to recite the final Suwar of His Book. We'll be joined by special guest Mashayyikh to conclude the recitation and share reflections. Do not miss this night. 🕗 Tonight at 8:00 PM (UK) 🔗 Join Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82904520331?pwd=OfwMR0GHumSxnygT5WFVM7u04am70W.1 Meeting ID: 829 0452 0331 · Passcode: 12345 May Allāh place Barakah in our gathering and accept every moment!
