Assalmu Alaikum,
The following is an excerpt from a Khutbah, Aqua Moula (TUS) has delivered in arabic regarding Al-Qur'an..the kitaab is : Zikr-al-Safar-al-Jameel; published by D.E. Jamaluddin.
Dear respected brothers,
Dear brothers,
Therefore, the Prophet (SAW) and his Ahle Bait and the chosen Ulema of his Ummah have placed great emphasis on the better recitation of Al-Qur'an and deriving pleasure from listening to it. In this way is provided the incentive for contemplating on its verses, and pondering over its clear arguments. So it may become the cause of our outward betterment, and save us from the devilish temptations of our hearts.
Allah (SWT) has said:
And the Prophet (SA) said:
Imam Jafer-al-Sadiq (AS) said:
Insha'Allah, may Allah subhana w' Ta3ala provide us with the tofique from Al-Quran, and help us in the proper tarteel of Al-Quran. Allah (SWT) knows I'm the worst example of a mu'min, and insha'Allah through the dua of Moula (TUS) and the guidance of Allah Ta3ala I will be able to stay close upon Siraat al-mustaq'eem, and cleanse myself of my jahl.
Wa'salaam,
Abde Syedna (TUS)
