QURAN ACADEMY: EVERY SUNDAY FROM 12:00 NOON TO 4:00 PM

Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba (Khadimu Rassul)… On The READING OF THE QUR’AN

- As for the Advantages ensuing from a regular reading of the Qur-ãn, they are held in great regard by the Stainless Master [Al-Yadãli]
- Whoever wishes to draw nearer to his LORD, let him read the Qur-ãn CEASELESSLY...
- I do add for myself: "Whoever wishes to earn ALLAH's Satisfaction, let him read CONSTANTLY the Qur-ãn and MEDITATE on its verses..."
- Persist then in reading that Book was it only three Hizb everyday
- And never give up such a habit as many students commonly do nowadays...
- Some who claim to be Sufis (Mystics) declare that what they are practicing [as worship] is worthier than the reading of the Qur-ãn, [the reason for which they disregard it]
- Know that such an allegation is groundless and erroneous; Satan has deluded such people - do bring thyself closer to ALLAH through the Book instead...
- For the Sublime Qur-ãn constitutes the very basis of any true knowledge in this world - as put it the Proficient Master
- Never desert it, nay, but read thou it continually and ask for whatever sort of knowledge thou wish thereby
- ... As did it the Virtuous Ancients; any of them has indeed quenched his thirst with the Waves of its Unfathomable Ocean...
- Do endeavor earnestly to adopt any servant's exemplary attitude which has been praised therein by the LORD
- And, conversely, any behavior that has been blamed and forbidden to a creature therein, avoid it - so wilt thou show uprightness...
- For He - the MOST HIGH - has only revealed it so as to be put into practice - do try to put its Message into practice...
- However few verses read with meditation and understanding are preferred to the thoughtless reading of many Surã
- It has also been said that no one but who that meditates reflectively on its content will be rewarded thereof by the LORD of Volition...
(Masãlik-ul-Jinaan, v. 527-541)
