Ramaḍān Reminders 2017: Ramaḍān, the Month of the Qurʾān – Ustādh Rayaan Barker

Ramaḍān Reminders 1438H: nightly reminders after Tarāwīḥ, by Ustādh Rayaan Barker (hafidhahullāh)

• Allāh accepts only the religion of Islām: the Qurʾān and the Sunnah, understood upon the understanding of the Companions and the early generations, not what the innovators have changed, nor neglect and extremism

• "Allāh is the protector of those who believe; He brings them out of the darknesses into the light": falsehood has many forms, while the guidance is one

• The purpose of reciting the Qurʾān (Shaykh al-Fawzān, hafidhahullāh): to understand it, to hasten to act upon its commands and leave its prohibitions, and to call people to it and be a good example

• The Prophet ﷺ: "Recite the Qurʾān, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its companions"

• How often to complete the Qurʾān: the ḥadīth of ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAmr (a month, then twenty days, seven days, three days); the Companions completed it every week in Ramaḍān, and it is best not to finish it in under three days so as to ponder the verses
