Book excerpt:
Ikhlaas :
(Sincerity) The purification of ones intention and correcting ones desire is obligatory. It is likewise for making ones concern with and memorisation of the Quran for the sake of Allaah, the Sublime and Exalted, and for gaining success with His Paradise and obtaining His pleasure.
Also for obtaining those mighty rewards which are reserved for those who recited the Quran and memorised it. Allaah the Exalted said:
So worship Allaah, making the Deen sincerely for Him. Is it not to Allaah that sincere worship is due?
He also said:
Say: I have been commanded that I worship Allaah making the Deen sincerely for Him.
[Zumar 39:11]
And the Messenger of Allaah (sas) said: “Allaah the Exalted said: I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an associate. Thus, he who does an action for someone elses sake as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me.
2-Correction of ones Pronunciation and Recitation The first step in memorising the Quran after that of
Ikhlaas is the obligation of correcting the pronunciation of the Quran. This does not occur except by
listening to a good reciter or a precise memoriser of the Quran.
Specifying a Daily Limit for Memorisation It is necessary for the one desiring to memorise the Quran
that he sets himself a daily limit for memorising.
