Today was the end of the amazing Al-maghrib seminar I ever took. Well, all seminars I took were amazing were an iman boosting drink for me .. It all energized me & rejuvenated me.. but his class was just unique. It was different in a sense that the shaykh wasn’t talking about the relationships & love as in my 1st seminar ever. ahem* love notes ahem* 😉 .. neither the shaykh was talking about the life of the great muslim scholars & lessons from them just like my 2nd seminar in torch bearers. This seminar is my 3rd Al maghrib seminar. You know how there is always a reason for everything in our life. Anything that occurs to us has some sort of lesson for us. Have you ever done anything with no great purpose but than this thing itself becomes a purpose for you to do many things. … This seminar was meant to happen to me. I took it simply cuz’ I wanted to learn the greatest book of the world. I wanted to know the history & sciences behind it . I had an intention to expand my knowledge of Qur’an that I had already learnt in a 2 year institute course. But that wasn’t the case. Sitting at the seminar during the 1st weekend, thoughts crossed my mind as to why I was not taught about the preservation, compilation, existing of Qur’an before even studying the tafsir of it. I felt like this course have been an excellent introduction to the journey of qur’an that I took about 3 years ago. Subhan Allah! learning about this blessed book makes me wanna drop everything.. I don’t want to hunt for marriage anymore, I don’t wanna go back to grad school, I don’t want to have any plans to tour the world … I wanna just spend time with this amazing book. I wanna just sit in the corner & memorize it & capture it in my heart. I want to just be attached to it as if it is my only best friend… so, remember how I mentioned before that there is a purpose to everything.. I started memorizing Qur’an a while ago.. however it hasn’t been a sucessful so far. laziness takes me over. fluctuation of iman takes me down. But this was a boost for me to lift up my iman. It is amazing what the shaykh mentioned in the seminar.. The shaykh said why does everyone ask “is it more important that i do this first? or that?” well… what i don’t undersatnd is why can’t you do both?! Muslims Multitask! Say what???? I am an M&M [Muslims Multitasker 😉 ] Subhan Allah! I have always been amazed with my multi tasking skills. funny how my last post was about multitasking too 🙂 … but to hear it from the shaykh gave me an extra uplift.
I am usually the one person who raises her hand everytime a volunteering opportunity comes around. I do this for # of reasons.
1. I want to gain as much ajr as I want. I am one hungry chic 🙂 .
2. I want to help out in the muslim community to make it a better one. My motto is If I don’t do it , no one will. I believer each one of us are talent & gifted uniquely.. if we combine these talents then we all will be able to establish something extraordinary, Insha Allah..
3. I love the feeling. I love the feeling of helping. I love the feeling of being part of this ummah. I love it when I see that our community is progressing gradually but surely.. May Allah[swt] help us & make us righteous & pious muslims who enter into Jannah. Ameen! ..
This was the purpose of me coming to this seminar. It was Qadr of Allah! It has been an extra push for me to keep going with memorization.. so , basically this class gave me a new meaning to memorize it. To cage it in my chest. To respect, recite, read it in a manner it should be.. The shaykh shared soooooo many great tips. While he was telling us the tips, I was like “This is exactly what I need. This drive. This enthusiasm. This knowledge. This feeling. This love to continue in my memorization of the Qur’an. I calculated the number of pages & if I memorize 1 page a day ; I’ll be able to finish the memorization in a year & half. That is nothing. I am not even planning to go back to school soon. So, why not make this a priority. Why not make this my school 🙂 … It feels as if there is a candle lit inside me & I don’t want it go away. I want to have the same feeling of being enlightened, uplifted forever. I’m feeling sleepy but I feel like I will go to sleep now & won’t have the same feeling tomorrow. The same energy of wanting memorize more & more & more of the Qur’an. Dear readers, Please remember me in your dua’as! Please make dua’a for me. May Allah[swt] make this journey of Qur’an an easy & successful one. Ameen!
