Ep. 17: Letting The Qur'an Slip | Road to Return

There’s one great sin that’s very easy to fall into: letting the Qur’an slip away from you. Sh. Yahya Ibrahim shares three ways to engage with Allah’s Speech to avoid this transgression.

Don't let the Qur'an slip away. It's a major transgression.

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam warned, he said, of the things that are quickest in slipping away from you is your memorization and your

practice of the Qur'an. That it is more sneaky in its departure than a camel that is left untied that you wake up in the morning and it's run off into the desert. That's such a powerful image

given to us by the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Abandoning the Qur'an, letting it slip away from us. There are three things that I warn you about. First is that we recite it, but don't seek to learn its meaning. And I don't mean you have to know what every letter means and

become a scholar of tafsir. But I want you to make a daily habit, a daily ritual, a weekly ritual, if you can do it daily. Monthly ritual, if you can do it more than that, where you sit and take

pause, listen to something that educates you about the Qur'an. Connect with the surahs that you read most. Be able that when you lead yourself in prayer, that the surahs you are habitually,

regularly reading, that at least you know their meaning and can connect in your salah to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Number two, learn something new every day from the Qur'an. Memorize,

even if it is but a word a day. If all you can do is half an ayah a day that you open the Qur'an and you memorize a new verse from Suratul Kahf, for example, Alhamdulillahi Alladhi. And then the

next day, Alhamdulillahi Alladhi Anzala Ala Abdihi. Then the next day, Alhamdulillahi Alladhi Anzala Ala Abdihi Alkitab. Walam Yaj'al Lahu Iwaja. You complete an ayah, finish as much of the

Qur'an, connect your life to it, make it a scheduled habit. Just like you schedule watching the basketball game and playing your games and having a timetable for your schoolwork and your homework,

schedule a time for the book of Allah that isn't just asked of you by your parents or by your, you know, your siblings or your spouse, but something that you connect to the Qur'an on a

level that you've chosen to be its partner in life. And number three, be careful that the Qur'an slips away from you, that it's just read by you, studied by you, but it's empty in your home and

empty in your lifestyle. That you hear the words of Allah, but you take a route other than it. Other than it, that you deprioritize Allah, that you resist the messenger Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi

Wasallam. Make the Qur'an a part of your life that you are as Aisha radiAllahu Anha described her husband Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, Kana al Qur'anu yamshi bayna an-nas.

Our Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was like the Qur'an that walked amongst mankind. He was a living embodiment of the teaching of the Qur'an. Do not let the Qur'an slip out of your

life. Don't let the verses of the Qur'an be recited on dumb deaf ears where you're unable to hear it, unwilling to listen to it, unable and unwilling to actively embrace it into your life. May Allah

Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la increase us with our love and our attention to the Qur'an and may Allah protect us from the transgression of deprioritizing the Qur'an and letting it slip away from us.

Allahuma Ameen.
