Let's read the Holy Quran!!


Alhamdulillah..praise be to Allah for making today as a very wonderful day! (^_^) Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah cuz we are still breathing in the holy month of Ramadhan (^_^) Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah for making us as muslim today and forever, insyaAllah (^_^)...Alhamdulillah..all praises to Allah..

hmm..today i have a very interesting topic to be shared, insyaAllah..I'll start with a story..

there was a guy, a very pious guy..one night, he woke up and did night prayer and he was able to finish the whole Quran in his tahajud prayer..so, the next day, he went to see his teacher and he told the teacher about that. When the teacher heard about it, he asked this guy to do the same thing again tonight but read the Holy Quran with the feeling that the teacher was watching him. This guy did it..so, the next day, he went to meet the teacher again and he told his teacher that he was only able to finish about half of the Quran..again, the teacher asked this guy to do the same that night but recite the verses of the Holy Quran with the feeling that the companions(sahabah) were watching him. This guy followed what the teacher asked him and now he was only manage to finish about one juzu' of the Quran..then he told his teacher and again the teacher asked him to read the Holy Quran in his prayer with the feeling that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w was watching him..so, the thing went on and he managed to finish only one surah from the Quran and finally his teacher asked him to read the Quran with the feeling that Allah was watching him..so he did it and as the result, he was unable to finish even Al-Fatihah..he stopped after he read the fifth verse of Al-Fatihah which is 

                                 "It is You we worship and You we ask for help."

and the teacher told this guy.."now,you are more qualified to be my teacher than me myself,"
 
just now, Alhamdulillah, I started tadarus (reciting Al-Quran together) with my roommate..things is going very well..but honestly, when I was reciting the holy Quran with my friend, I'll be more careful than when I recite it alone...why? because honestly, I will feel ashamed if my friend corrects my recitation..actually, it's not something to be ashamed of because everyday we are learning and we can only learn when we do a mistake. But my main point here is that, why do we have to be careful only when we read in front of our friend but not when we are alone? Is it because we think that nobody will know that we do a mistake when we read alone? That is the problem..we tend to forget that Allah is always watching us, He hears every single thing that we say and even the things that we think..Allah will know..so, let's recite the Quran carefully with the correct tajwid no matter when we are alone or in front of our friend..

i just wrote the first point that I want to share which is read the Holy Quran with the feeling of God-presence..and the second point is sometimes the student can be better than the teacher..so, whatever we do in our life, always follow what the teachers told us (as long as it is in line with shari'ah) and insyaAllah we can be even better than them..I'm not saying that we should compete with our teacher but we should always do our best in every single thing that we involve in..and of course if we become a better person, our teachers will be proud of us..insyaAllah..

by the way..i really hope that you get my point..i'm actually practicing for my MUET the day after tomorrow so that's why i'm writing in english..and i believe the vocabulary that i used is simple and easy to be understood..

last from me..let's increase the quality and the quantity of our ibadah in this holy month..grab as much rewards as we can..it's once in a year man!! SO, LET'S DO IT!! EAT LESS, THINK MORE, DO MORE!!!
