Having completed verse 89 of Surah An-Nahl — The Bee
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰؤُلَاءِ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ
And on that day when We raise in every nation a witness from amongst themselves, and We bring thee (O Muhammad) as a witness against these. And We reveal the Scripture unto thee as an exposition of all things, and a guidance and a mercy and good tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah).
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
Lo! Allah enjoineth justice and kindness, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbiddeth lewdness and abomination and wickedness. He exhorteth you in order that ye may take heed.
And Allah t'ala loves the small acts often done. The bigger deeds are the contemplation and the bringing into action within your lives the precepts that accord with the revelation.
Catch Right Back Up
This group is all about falling behind and catching right back up.
Spirit of Sacrifice
It is about encouraging and celebrating that very human spirit of sacrifice that is all heart.
The Quran is literally a Recitation, so recite it loudly, sonorously and with Tarteel. Let the Quran dictate the rhythm.
The Quran is literally a collection of Ayats, a collection of the signs and proofs of God. Therefore give each Ayat its right, and pause between each. If you feel you could improve its recitation then do so before the next one.
Before you start look ahead to where you want to be, set a reasonable day target, and make it happen. If you tire, then rest.
Set a period towards the end of the week when you plan to catch up, remember to factor in Khaf on Fridays.
Sakina — the wind — literally descends and is attracted by the sonorous Quran. May it envelop and visit each of our houses. Aameen.
