How to Memorize the Qur'an in 10 years Regardless of Age and Profession

We don't know about you, but age does plays a determining factor in memorising. As we are always busy with our work, school and many other things, memorizing the verses in the Quran can be quite a challenge. There's very little time to focus on it.

And so this book a brainchild of Abdul Salam Abdul Hameed tries to solve this problem and to give you techniques on how to memorize the quran. Instead of memorizing the Quran in a short time, he gives us a realistic goal - 10 years. Insyallah in our lifetime.

Starting from the simple surahs, his methods convinces us to build up our confidence to slowly memorize them and eventually leading us to memorize the long surahs.

Muharram 101

Written by: SAADIA KHAN

This year, Muharram starts on the evening of November 14th Insha'Allah. There are some important things about this special month all Muslims should know.

1) It is one of the 4 sacred months in the Islamic lunar calendar. As Allah (swt) Reveals in the Qur'an:

"Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them." (9:36)

2) After Ramadan, it is the best time of the year to fast. According to the Prophet (sas): "The best fasting after the month of Ramadan is in the month of Allah, Muharram." (Muslim). Notice that in this hadith, the Prophet (sas) does not specify any particular day for fasting but considers the entire month as a prime time for it.

3) It contains the day of Ashura which falls on the 10th of Muharram (November 24, 2012). When the Prophet (sas) arrived in Medina, he noticed the Jewish population observing fasting on this day. When he inquired, they told him 'this is the day that Allah (swt) saved Musa from Fir'aun.' To this, the Prophet (sas) replied "We are closer to Musa than you." (Bukhari). At first, he ordered the Muslims to observe this fast, but after fasting in the month of Ramadan became obligatory, fasting on the day of Ashura became optional.

Still, fasting on Ashura is an established Sunnah and one that all those that are able should strive to establish. Although the Prophet (sas) fasted on the 10th himself, he stated an intention to change the day to the 9th in the year before his death. (Muslim). Thus, scholars recommend fasting on either (a) the 9th, 10th and 11th, (b) the 9thand 10th or at the very least, (c) just the 10th.

Below is an actual inquiry by one of the Bros and our answer to his question.

Inquiry on Ensiklopedia Solat

Assalamu'alaykum ...

Is there a reference on how to do solat on a vehicle (regardless of whether land, sea or air) being featured? How about jama' or qashar? What about sujud sahwi? Are there images showing how to perform solat when lying down? Does it include how to do solat when carrying an infant or toddler? Performing tayammum also? The way Rasullah S.A.W perform solat e.g. the reason of wiping someone's face after giving salaam at end of solat? Why performing solat differs among the 4 books of scholars (Hanafi, Malik, Shafii & Hanbali)?

Jazakallah Khairan

Answers

Wa'salam,

Please note that the ensiklopedia is in Malay as it is a Malaysian publication. No english version is available currently.

The ensiklopedia is arranged in Alphabetical order hence you may need to know the keywords in Malay to find the references.

To answer you queries.

1) Solat on vehicles

It doesn't specificly mention it. However there are guidelines to it in the chapter on Musafir.

2) Jama' or qashar
There's a whole chapter on this and this is one of the topics in the chapter. pg 303

3) Sujud Sahwi

Its on pg 345. It also shows the different situations example. Individual who are not sure the rakaats he has made. Also what if the Imam make a mistake, how do you perform it as a Jemaah.

4) Lying down.

It is in the chapter "Abai Solat" - "Avoiding Solat". In this chapter it says that it clear that in whatever situation we have to solat even in sickness cos solat can also perform with just our eyes (if the whole body is unable to move).

Also on Page 329 with nice images.

5) Carrying infant and toddler.
yes there are examples on this. Pg 55.

6) Tayammum
Yes. A whole chapter on this. Pg 417

7) The way Rasullah S.A.W perform solat e.g. the reason of wiping someone's face after giving salaam at end of solat?

No reference to this or we could not find it.

8) Differences between the 4 scholars.

In this ensiklopedia, some chapters does reference to the different scholars while majority highlighted Imam Syafi's school of thought.

I hope I have given you my best answer for your answers

Thank you for your questions and I hope the journey to acquire more knowledge on our deen doesn't stop here. May Allah swt bless you with more knowledge insyallah.
