"Each breath of the age is a valuable pearl which has no price – in this world – so you should conserve it for the hereafter (when it pays much to expend) by remembering Allah ta’ala and obeying Him."

Memorize The Qur'aan
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said,
The Women-Bearers of the Qur’aan (1)
"And We (Allah) have made the Holy Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will receive admonition?"{footnote}The Quran, 54:17{/footnote} In Arabic the term for a woman who has memorized the Qur’aan is 'Haafidhah' and its plural is 'Haafidhaat'. It’s a prestigious title of honor unlike any other, it’s a blessing which is indescribable and it’s a title for one who has been blessed to travel a journey and tread a path only undertaken by a few out of the majority of Allah’s creation. For the real Haafidhah, every page glows forth right into her heart, taking away...

The Women-Bearers of the Qur’aan (2)
It is a fact that just as was the case in the past, today also many disbelievers are levying great efforts in trying to take the message of the Qur’aan away from the hearts of the Muslims. This is evident not only from the fact that people have been incited to burn the Qur’aan, as mentioned in the previous article, but by many other cases, such as the suggestion that the verses which mention Jihaad in the Qur’aan be taken out and a new version of the Qur’aan be introduced in its place. Such attempts come about due to ignorance over...

Why YOU Should Become a Haafidhah: Rewards Here and Now (1)
“And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember?” [al-Qamar [54]:17] There is always an underlying reason as to why a sister has failed to memorize or failed to continue to memorize the Qur’aan. Some sisters may have stopped because they feel that they don’t have good memory; others did memorize but forgot what they memorized because of a lack of time and commitment, or a distraction that resulted in a permanent diversion. Whatever the case, the person who has left memorizing the Qur’aan has really not come to terms with...

Why YOU Should Become a Haafidhah: Rewards Here and Now (2)
3. A cure for the hardness of the heart It’s really heartbreaking, devastating and astounding to see the sort of crimes perpetrated by hard-hearted criminals. Sentencing and imprisoning such people is not the only solution to stopping such problems all together as some are never caught or convicted at all. The root reason behind these crimes is the hardness of the heart and being estranged from Allah’s Words. Allah Almighty has said, “Then, after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even worse in hardness.” [Al-Baqarah 2:74] Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) has eloquently written in this regard: “The servant is...

Qualities of a Hafidh
“Come in”, Shaykh Haroon Baqai said.I walked in slowly, shaking from head to toe.

For the next few years, I went through an indescribable experience with a close knit of friends. It...

The Rewards Promised to the Haafidh
Memorizing the Qur’aan is an act of worship through which one seeks the Face of Allaah and reward in the Hereafter. Without this intention, he will have no reward; rather he will be punished for doing this act of worship for someone or something other than Allaah. The haafidh (the person who has memorized the Qur’aan) should not have any intention of gaining worldly benefits by memorizing the Qur’aan, because his memorization thereof is not a product to be traded with in this world, rather it is an act of worship which is done for the sake of his Lord. Allaah has...

When Will I See You as a Haafidh?
I recently heard an incredibly amazing account told by Shaykh Yasir Salamah, one of the leading Imams and recitors of Egypt. In his audio tape ‘When will I see you as a Haafidh?’ he speaks of the true account of Muhammad, a brother who after attending a workshop on memorising Qur’aan and utilising all the available mediums, went on to memorise the entire Qur’aan within just 50 days (i.e 2 months)?! Yes. Within 2 months. This is his account and he says: “I declared a state of Jihad upon my soul and put death before my eyes. I made an intention to...

The Reward for Memorising the Qur'aan
Whoever memorises Qur’aan and acts upon it, Allaah will reward him and honour him greatly for that, so that he will rise in status in Paradise to a level commensurate with what he memorized of the Book of Allaah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It will be said to the companion of the Qur’aan: Recite and rise in status, recite as you used to recite in the world, for your status will be at the last verse that you recite.” (Al-Tirmidhi (2914) and Abu Dawood (1464)) What is meant by the “companion of the Qur’aan” is...

Quick tips to help you Memorise the Qur'aan
Below are some quick tips that will help you in memorizing the Qur`ân: 1. You absolutely must have a teacher. Do NOT memorize on your own. You must have a teacher who you respect and whom you fear.
