[Ep 18] Better Than A Ferrari & Bugatti | Sh. Suleiman Hani #Ramadan2023

The Value of the Quran

In this section, the speaker emphasizes the value of reciting and teaching the Quran over material wealth and status symbols.

Reciting the Quran is More Valuable Than Material Wealth

• Many people work their entire lives for material wealth or status symbols.

• Connecting with one verse of the Quran every day is better than all worldly materialism and status symbols.

• The Prophet Muhammad offered two camels to anyone who would recite two verses from the Quran every day. He emphasized that even this small effort was more valuable than obtaining two camels without committing a sin.

• Reciting or teaching only two verses of the Quran is better for you than owning two really nice cars.

Every Verse Makes a Difference

• Every verse of the Quran is rewarding, so do not belittle the weight of reciting one verse or a few verses every single day.

• Consistency in connecting with the Quran leads to an accumulation of reward. One man completed reading the entire Quran in one month by dedicating his breaks at work to recitation.

• Passionate dedication to consistent connection with the Quran can lead to achieving goals that may have seemed impossible before.

Starting with Intention

In this section, the speaker emphasizes starting with intention when reciting Quran and asks a question about personal habits.

Starting with Intention

• Rather than focusing on prerequisites, start by setting an intention for why you want to recite Quran.

• To ensure that no day goes by without reciting at least a few verses of the Quran, ask yourself what you personally do and what advice you would give to others who are trying to start.
