Iman (Faith in the Oneness of Allah) is the most precious for everyone. Shaytan is lying in wait to steal your Iman.
وَنَادَىٰهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا ٱلشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٢٢ ...
And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?" [Quran, Al A'raf 7:22]
Shield your Imam with as many layers of good works daily...the obligatory and the sunnah, including reading at least a juz of Quran daily. And choose good company, stay away from bad company and don't waste time. Learn how to perform your worship properly.
Iman adalah yang paling berharga untuk semua orang. Shaytan sedang menunggu untuk mencuri iman anda.
وَنَادَىٰهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا ٱلشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٢٢ ...
Serta Tuhan mereka menyeru mereka: "Bukankah Aku telah melarang kamu berdua dari pokok itu, dan Aku katakan kepada kamu, bahawa Syaitan itu adalah musuh kamu yang nyata?" [Quran, Al A'raf 7:22]
Benteng dan lindungi Imam anda dengan banyak lapisan kerja yang baik setiap hari ... yang wajib dan sunnah, termasuk membaca sekurang-kurangnya satu juz al-Quran setiap hari. Dan pilih teman yang baik, tinggalkan teman yang tidak baik dan jangan buang masa. Belajar cara melaksanakan ibadah anda dengan betul.
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ ﴿١٢﴾ قَالَ فَٱهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَٱخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰغِرِينَ ﴿١٣﴾ قَالَ أَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿١٤﴾ قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ﴿١٥﴾ قَالَ فَبِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَٰطَكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿١٦﴾ ثُمَّ لَـَٔاتِيَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمْ ۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَـٰكِرِينَ ﴿١٧﴾ قَالَ ٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْءُومًا مَّدْحُورًا ۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿١٨﴾
[Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay." (12) [Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased. (13) [Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected." (14) [Allah] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved." (15) [Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path. (16) Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]." (17) [Allah] said, "Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together." (18)
Allah berfirman: "Apakah penghalangnya yang menyekatmu daripada sujud ketika Aku perintahmu?" Iblis menjawab: "Aku lebih baik daripada Adam, Engkau (wahai Tuhan) jadikan daku dari api sedang dia Engkau jadikan dari tanah." (12) Allah berfirman: "Turunlah engkau dari Syurga ini, kerana tidak patut engkau berlaku sombong di dalamnya; oleh sebab itu keluarlah, sesungguhnya engkau dari golongan yang hina". (13) Iblis berkata: Berilah tempoh kepadaku hingga hari mereka dibangkitkan (hari kiamat)". (14) Allah berfirman: "Sesungguhnya engkau dari golongan yang diberi tempoh (ke suatu masa yang tertentu)". (15) Iblis berkata: "Oleh kerana Engkau (wahai Tuhan) menyebabkan daku tersesat (maka) demi sesungguhnya aku akan mengambil tempat menghalangi mereka (dari menjalani) jalanMu yang lurus; (16) "Kemudian aku datangi mereka, dari hadapan mereka serta dari belakang mereka, dan dari kanan mereka serta dari kiri mereka; dan Engkau tidak akan dapati kebanyakan mereka bersyukur". (17) Allah berfirman: "Keluarlah engkau dari Syurga sebagai makhluk yang terhina serta terusir. Sesungguhnya sesiapa di antara mereka yang menurutmu, tetaplah aku akan memenuhi neraka jahanam dengan (golongan) kamu (yang derhaka) semuanya; (18)
[Quran, al A'raf 7:12-18]
May Allah protect our Iman, increase our Iman, grant us an excellent ending at the highest of Iman and resurrect us with His beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasalaam and enter us into the highest Jannah with him without hisab (accounting). Aameen.
Semoga Allah lindungi Iman kita, tingkatkan Iman kita, berikan kita husnul khaatimah dalam iman yang tertinggi dan bangkitkan kita dengan kekasihNya Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasalaam dan masukkan kita ke syurga yang tertinggi dengannya tanpa hisab. Aameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

New Year's Resolution -- Don't Make Wealth An End In Of Itself
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Abu Wail narrated:
"Mu'awiyah came to Abu Hashim bin 'Uthbah to visit him when he was ill (and dying). He said: 'O Uncle! Why do you cry? Is it from the pangs of death or desire for this world?' He said: 'Neither of these. But the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had commissioned me with an obligation that I did not abide by. He sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: "It suffices you to gather the wealth of a servant or a rider in the cause of Allah." And (it is only) today I find that I have gathered it.'"
عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى أَبِي هَاشِمِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ يَا خَالُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ أَوَجَعٌ يُشْئِزُكَ أَمْ حِرْصٌ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ كُلٌّ لاَ وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ عَهْدًا لَمْ آخُذْ بِهِ قَالَ " إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْمَالِ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " . وَأَجِدُنِي الْيَوْمَ قَدْ جَمَعْتُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ رَوَى زَائِدَةُ وَعَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ سَهْمٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى أَبِي هَاشِمٍ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
In gathering your wealth don't make wealth an end in of itself. Look at what is sufficient for you and what is of actual benefit, not of perceived benefit. Then direct your concern which ultimately of benefit. So seek of worldly matters with beautiful balance and restraint. Don't dedicate yourself so much to gathering of wealth such that it is of detriment to your relationship with Allah, your parents, your spouse, your children, and your capacity to do good in this life. Harm is in the excess.
We ask Allah that He grants us this balance and protect us from being excessive.

Quran Reflection -- Allah Is Testing You
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Allah sent you into this world to test you. Someone came to this world, got tested and left. We came to this world, being tested (whether we realize it or not) and one day we will leave. When we will leave, that we don't know. So we must prepare ourselves for that day.
Why Allah tests us? So we can find Him, come close to Him, and worship Him alone.
We will be tested with evil -- something that hurts, something that makes us cry, and with good -- something pleasant, something that makes us happy. Allah wants to see how we react. Are we going to be patient? Are we going to be grateful?
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿٣٥
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned. (35)
[Quran, Al-Anbiya' 21:35]
We will be tested wiith fear, hunger and losses. Allah wants to see how we react.
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَىْءٍ مِّنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ﴿١٥٥
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, (155)
[Quran, Al-Baqarah 2:155]
Among the many tests, children and wealth are two of the most difficult ones.
إِنَّمَآ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَأَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿١٥
Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allah has with Him a great reward. (15)
[Quran, At-Taghabun 64:15]
No doubt, our children are a constant trial. Whether they are young or adult, single or married, good or bad, dependent or independent, we are being tested. We have to recognize that when our children are good and successful, our pride and ego are also being put to test. Are we going to toot our own horn or are we going to remember Allah, thank Him and be grateful to Him? When our children are disobedient and difficult, our patience are being tested the most. Are we going to throw in the towel or be angry or are we going to recognize our mistakes and try to correct them? Many of us have failed miserably in the tests of our children. The deterioration of morals in the society gives testimony to how many of us have failed as parents.
Likewise, wealth is a test from Allah to His slaves, so that He may know who among us are generous and will spend this blessing, give charity and pay zakah for His sake. Many of us fail miserably in this area as well. In these days of great material bounty, millions have little opportunity to lift themselves from the abyss of poverty and one billion children are living in poverty. Amid the great abundance that exists, however, the poor often have little opportunity to improve their lot in life. When refugees are driven to starvation because of war, when stores of food rot because of political manipulation, and when market forces push the cost of life’s necessities to levels that the poor cannot pay, are we there to help these most vulnerable people and the impoverished humans?
Remember, "The world is the prison of the believer, and a Paradise for the non-believer." [Muslim]
So the truthful believer has patience upon what afflicts him in the world so that it becomes for him the everlasting delights, and the non-believer is delighted in the world as if it is his paradise, and it becomes his everlasting punishment on the Day of reward.
May Allah make us of those who are truthful, grateful and patient. Ameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

Advise For My Students -- Learn, Teach and Recite The Quran With Tajweed, A Means To Attribute Grandeur To Allah
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
[Terjemahan Bahasa Melayu di bawah]
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala asks us,
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا ﴿١٣
What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur. [Quran, Nuh 71:13]
Have we glorified Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala as it is due to Him? Aren't we in need of His Mercy, Greatness, Majesty? Learning, teaching and reciting the Quran properly is the best means to glorify Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, "The best among you is the one who Learn and Teach the Quran."
Quran is not meant to be read on occassions only or however way without learning. One must learn how to read properly (with tajweed), teach others how to read properly and read a portion of the Quran everyday. It is also meant to be read with reflection. Reflect what? To reflect the grandeur of Allah.
One of the topics of tajweed is Nabr which is the stressing of the voice at a particular letter. There are several situations in the Quran when we read with Nabr. One of them is Nabr when stopping at the letter Hamzah and before it is a madd letter (alif, waw, ya), for example, السماء, شيء, سوء
The letter Hamzah we know now is not a letter in the language of Arabs before but nonetheless the Quran has plenty of words which consist the letter Hamzah.
The letter Hamzah was the most difficult letter to articulate because it's point of articulation (makhraj) is in the back of the throat with two strong qualities (sifat) -- "Shiddah" (articulate the letter by closing the passage of the articulation) and "Jahr" (articulate the letter by closing the air passage). These combinations make it more difficult to articulate the letter so much so that it was said Sayyidina Ali radhiAllahu anhu had said "If the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam didn't teach us Nabr, we would not have read Nabr (Hamzah)."
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, by His Mercy, revealed the Quran in different variations of recitation to ease its recitation following the rules of language of the particular Arabs.
1. Nabr -- stressing of the voice at a particular letter
2. Ibdal -- changing Hamzah to a madd letter like alif, waw, ya e.g. وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ -- وللمومنين , بئس -- بيس e.g. in Susi, Warsh, Abu Ja'far, Hamzah (at stopping)
3. Naql -- moving the harakah of Hamzah to the sakin letter before it e.g. عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ e.g. in Warsh, Idris, Hamzah
4. Isqad -- removing Hamzah e.g. جاء أحد to جا أحد e.g. in Qalun
5. Tasheel -- reading harakat Hamzah between fathah/alif, between kasrah/ya or dhammah/waw with letter ه Ha
6. Tahqeeq -- articulating Hamzah from its point of articulation (makhraj) with its qualities (sifat)
7. Madd -- elongating the madd letter before Hamzah e.g. in madd muttasil دُعَآءِىٓ and madd munfasil فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ
8. Sakt -- pausing the recitation for a moment at the sakin letter before the letter Hamza with the intention to continue reading.
Allahu Akbar. By His Mercy, Allah has made it easy for us to worship and glorify Him. For those who have learned or are learning the Quran and Qiraat Asharah, be grateful to Allah that He has opened beautiful doors to worship Him. Recite the Quran with all the Qiraats and the different variations (wajh) regularly and consistently and taste the beauty of the Quran and feel the grandeur of Allah.
May Allah make us of those who worship and glorify Him. May Allah make us His elect people of the Quran. May Allah grant us His Noble Countenance. Aameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Terjemahan dalam Bahasa Melayu
Nasihat Untuk Murid2ku -- Belajar, Mengajar dan Baca Al Quran Dengan Tajweed, Satu Cara Untuk Memuliakan dan Mengagungkan Allah
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala bertanya pada kita,
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا ﴿١٣
Mengapa kamu tidak percaya akan kebesaran Allah? [Quran, Nuh 71:13]
Adakah kita memuliakan dan mengagungkan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala sebagaimana mestinya? Bukankah kita memerlukan Rahmat, Kebesaran dan KemuliaanNya? Belajar, mengajar dan membaca al-Quran dengan betul adalah satu cara yang terbaik untuk memuliakan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam berkata, "Yang terbaik di antara kamu adalah orang yang belajar dan mengajar al-Quran."
Quran tidak dimaksudkan untuk dibaca pada masa-masa tertentu sahaja atau cara ikut suka tanpa belajar. Seseorang itu mesti belajar membaca Quran dengan betul (dengan tajweed), mengajar orang lain bagaimana membaca dengan betul dan membaca sebahagian daripada Al-Quran setiap hari. Ia juga dimaksudkan untuk dibaca dengan reflection. Reflect apa? Reflect keagungan Allah.
Salah satu tajuk tajuk dalam tajweed adalah Nabr ia-itu menekankan suara pada huruf tertentu. Terdapat beberapa keadaan dalam Quran di mana kita membaca dengan Nabr. Salah satunya adalah Nabr ketika berhenti di huruf Hamzah dan sebelum itu ada huruf madd (alif, waw, ya), misalnya, السماء, شيء, سوء
Huruf Hamzah yang kita kenal sekarang bukan huruf yang ada dalam bahasa Arab dahulu tetapi tetap ada banyak perkataan yang mengandungi huruf Hamzah.
Huruf Hamzah adalah huruf yang paling sukar untuk diartikulasikan kerana tempat artikulasi (makhraj) adalah di belakang tekak dengan dua sifat yang kuat (sifat) - "Shiddah" (mengartikulasikan huruf dengan menutup laluan artikulasi) dan "Jahr" (mengartikulasikan huruf dengan menutup laluan nafas). Gabungan ini menjadikannya lebih sukar untuk mengartikulasikan huruf itu sehingga dikatakan yang Sayyidina Ali radhiAllahu anhu ada berkata, "Jika Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam tidak mengajar kita Nabr, kita tidak akan membaca Nabr (Hamzah)."
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, dari RahmatNya, telah menurunkan al Quran dalam beberapa variasi-variasi bacaan untuk memudahkan bacaannya sesuaikan dengan kaedah bahasa orang-orang Arab tersebut.
1. Nabr - menekan suara di huruf-huruf tertentu
2. Ibdal - menukar Hamzah kepada huruf madd seperti alif, waw, ya mis. وللمؤمنين - وللمومنين, بئس - بيس saperti dalam Riwayah Susi, Warsh, Abu Ja'far, Hamzah (ketika berhenti)
3. Naql - memindahkan baris Hamzah kepada huruf sukun sebelumya, misalnya على ٱلأرض saperti dalam Riwayah Warsh, Idris, Hamzah
4. Isqad - menghapuskan Hamzah, misalnya جاء أحد ke جا أحد saperti dalam Riwayah Qalun
5. Tasheel - bacaan harakat Hamzah antara fathah / alif, antara kasrah / ya atau dhammah / waw dengan huruf ه ha
6. Tahqeeq - bacaan Hamzah dari tempat artikulasi (makhraj) dengan sifatnya
7. Madd - memanjangkan huruf madd sebelum Hamzah, saperti dalam madd muttasil, contohnya دعآءى dan madd munfasil, contohnya فلآ أقسم
9. Sakt -- berhenti bacaan seketika tanpa nafas di huruf sukun sebelum huruf Hamzah dengan niat menyambung bacaan
Allahu Akbar (Allah Maha Besar). Dari RahmatNya, Allah telah memudahkan kita menyembah dan memuliakanNya. Bagi mereka yang telah belajar atau sedang belajar Quran dan Qiraat Asharah, bersyukurlah kepada Allah bahawa Dia telah membuka pintu yang lebih indah untuk menyembah Dia. Bacalah Al-Quran dengan semua Qiraat dalam semua wajah yang telah di pelajari secara teratur dan konsisten dan rasakan (taste) keindahan Al-Quran dan rasakan (feel) kemuliaan, kebesaran dan keagungan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
Semoga Allah jadikan kita dari orang-orang yang menyembah dan memuliakanNya. Semoga Allah jadikan kita dari ahli Al-Quran. Semoga Allah anugerahkan kita pandangan Wajah MuliaNya. Aameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa' ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui, lagi Maha Bijaksana, dan Dialah sahaja yang memberi kejayaan, dan kepadaNyalah kita akan.

The letter Hamzah was the most difficult letter to articulate because it's point of articulation (makhraj) is in the back of the throat with two strong qualities (sifat) -- "Shiddah" (articulate the letter by closing the passage of the articulation) and "Jahr" (articulate the letter by closing the air passage). These combinations make it more difficult to articulate the letter so much so that it was said Sayyidina Ali radhiAllahu anhu had said "If the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam didn't teach us Nabr, we would not have read Nabr (Hamzah)."
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, by His Mercy, revealed the Quran in different variations of recitation to ease its recitation following the rules of language of the particular Arabs.
1. Nabr -- stressing of the voice at a particular letter
2. Ibdal -- changing Hamzah to a madd letter like alif, waw, ya e.g. وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ -- وللمومنين , بئس -- بيس e.g. in Susi, Warsh, Abu Ja'far, Hamzah (at stopping)
3. Naql -- moving the harakah of Hamzah to the sakin letter before it e.g. عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ e.g. in Warsh, Idris, Hamzah
4. Isqad -- removing Hamzah e.g. جاء أحد to جا أحد e.g. in Qalun
5. Tasheel -- reading harakat Hamzah between fathah/alif, between kasrah/ya or dhammah/waw with letter ه Ha
6. Tahqeeq -- articulating Hamzah from its point of articulation (makhraj) with its qualities (sifat)
7. Madd -- elongating the madd letter before Hamzah e.g. in madd muttasil دُعَآءِىٓ and madd munfasil فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ
8. Sakt -- pausing the recitation for a moment at the sakin letter before the letter Hamza with the intention to continue reading.
Allahu Akbar. By His Mercy, Allah has made it easy for us to worship and glorify Him. For those who have learned or are learning the Quran and Qiraat Asharah, be grateful to Allah that He has opened beautiful doors to worship Him. Recite the Quran with all the Qiraats and the different variations (wajh) regularly and consistently and taste the beauty of the Quran and feel the grandeur of Allah.
May Allah make us of those who worship and glorify Him. May Allah make us His elect people of the Quran. May Allah grant us His Noble Countenance. Aameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Nasihat Untuk Murid2ku -- Belajar, Mengajar dan Baca Al Quran Dengan Tajweed, Satu Cara Untuk Memuliakan dan Mengagungkan Allah
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala bertanya pada kita,
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا ﴿١٣
Mengapa kamu tidak percaya akan kebesaran Allah? [Quran, Nuh 71:13]
Adakah kita memuliakan dan mengagungkan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala sebagaimana mestinya? Bukankah kita memerlukan Rahmat, Kebesaran dan KemuliaanNya? Belajar, mengajar dan membaca al-Quran dengan betul adalah satu cara yang terbaik untuk memuliakan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam berkata, "Yang terbaik di antara kamu adalah orang yang belajar dan mengajar al-Quran."
Quran tidak dimaksudkan untuk dibaca pada masa-masa tertentu sahaja atau cara ikut suka tanpa belajar. Seseorang itu mesti belajar membaca Quran dengan betul (dengan tajweed), mengajar orang lain bagaimana membaca dengan betul dan membaca sebahagian daripada Al-Quran setiap hari. Ia juga dimaksudkan untuk dibaca dengan reflection. Reflect apa? Reflect keagungan Allah.
Salah satu tajuk tajuk dalam tajweed adalah Nabr ia-itu menekankan suara pada huruf tertentu. Terdapat beberapa keadaan dalam Quran di mana kita membaca dengan Nabr. Salah satunya adalah Nabr ketika berhenti di huruf Hamzah dan sebelum itu ada huruf madd (alif, waw, ya), misalnya, السماء, شيء, سوء
Huruf Hamzah yang kita kenal sekarang bukan huruf yang ada dalam bahasa Arab dahulu tetapi tetap ada banyak perkataan yang mengandungi huruf Hamzah.
Huruf Hamzah adalah huruf yang paling sukar untuk diartikulasikan kerana tempat artikulasi (makhraj) adalah di belakang tekak dengan dua sifat yang kuat (sifat) - "Shiddah" (mengartikulasikan huruf dengan menutup laluan artikulasi) dan "Jahr" (mengartikulasikan huruf dengan menutup laluan nafas). Gabungan ini menjadikannya lebih sukar untuk mengartikulasikan huruf itu sehingga dikatakan yang Sayyidina Ali radhiAllahu anhu ada berkata, "Jika Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam tidak mengajar kita Nabr, kita tidak akan membaca Nabr (Hamzah)."
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, dari RahmatNya, telah menurunkan al Quran dalam beberapa variasi-variasi bacaan untuk memudahkan bacaannya sesuaikan dengan kaedah bahasa orang-orang Arab tersebut.
1. Nabr - menekan suara di huruf-huruf tertentu
2. Ibdal - menukar Hamzah kepada huruf madd seperti alif, waw, ya mis. وللمؤمنين - وللمومنين, بئس - بيس saperti dalam Riwayah Susi, Warsh, Abu Ja'far, Hamzah (ketika berhenti)
3. Naql - memindahkan baris Hamzah kepada huruf sukun sebelumya, misalnya على ٱلأرض saperti dalam Riwayah Warsh, Idris, Hamzah
4. Isqad - menghapuskan Hamzah, misalnya جاء أحد ke جا أحد saperti dalam Riwayah Qalun
5. Tasheel - bacaan harakat Hamzah antara fathah / alif, antara kasrah / ya atau dhammah / waw dengan huruf ه ha
6. Tahqeeq - bacaan Hamzah dari tempat artikulasi (makhraj) dengan sifatnya
7. Madd - memanjangkan huruf madd sebelum Hamzah, saperti dalam madd muttasil, contohnya دعآءى dan madd munfasil, contohnya فلآ أقسم
9. Sakt -- berhenti bacaan seketika tanpa nafas di huruf sukun sebelum huruf Hamzah dengan niat menyambung bacaan
Allahu Akbar (Allah Maha Besar). Dari RahmatNya, Allah telah memudahkan kita menyembah dan memuliakanNya. Bagi mereka yang telah belajar atau sedang belajar Quran dan Qiraat Asharah, bersyukurlah kepada Allah bahawa Dia telah membuka pintu yang lebih indah untuk menyembah Dia. Bacalah Al-Quran dengan semua Qiraat dalam semua wajah yang telah di pelajari secara teratur dan konsisten dan rasakan (taste) keindahan Al-Quran dan rasakan (feel) kemuliaan, kebesaran dan keagungan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
Semoga Allah jadikan kita dari orang-orang yang menyembah dan memuliakanNya. Semoga Allah jadikan kita dari ahli Al-Quran. Semoga Allah anugerahkan kita pandangan Wajah MuliaNya. Aameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa' ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui, lagi Maha Bijaksana, dan Dialah sahaja yang memberi kejayaan, dan kepadaNyalah kita akan.

Quran is guidance for those conscious of God.
الٓمٓ ﴿١﴾ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢﴾
Alif, Lam, Meem. (1) This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah - (2) [Quran, Albaqarah 2:1-2]
Anyone who understand what they are reading will have a big share of Allah's guidance.
قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ﴿٩﴾
Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding. (9) [Quran, Az-Zumar 39:9]
While it is important for every Muslim to learn how to read the Quran properly, it is equally important to read it everyday because Quran is reminder. Quran is the Speech of Allah. It is imperative to know what Allah tells us in His Book. To do this, we must know Arabic. So take some time out now to learn Arabic. Meanwhile, read a good translation of the Quran and supplement it with a good tafsir. Give this a high priority in your daily lives because the longer you wait to do this and procrastinate, you are surely missing out on precious guidance. We should feel embarrassed when we heard more and more non Muslims came to Islam after they have read the Quran. What are you waiting for? Don't be left behind.
وَمَا تَوْفِيقِىٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ ﴿٨٨
And my success is not but through Allah. Upon him I have relied, and to Him I return.[Quran, Hud 11:88]
May Allah grant us tawfiq in this life and the next. Aameen
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

***Refleksi Quran - Precious Tawfiq (Kejayaan)***
Quran adalah panduan bagi mereka yang sedar akan Allah.
الم )1( ذلك ٱلكتب لا ريب فيه هدى للمتقين )2(
Alif laam miim. (1) Kitab (Al Quran) ini tidak ada keraguan padanya; petunjuk bagi mereka yang bertakwa, (2) [Quran, Albaqarah 2: 1-2]
Sesiapa yang memahami apa yang mereka baca akan mempunyai bahagian besar panduan Allah.
قل هل يستوى ٱلذين يعلمون وٱلذين لا يعلمون إنما يتذكر أولوا ٱلألبب )9(
"Adakah sama orang-orang yang mengetahui dengan orang-orang yang tidak mengetahui?" Sesungguhnya orang yang berakallah yang dapat menerima pelajaran. [Quran, Az-Zumar 39: 9]
Walaupun penting bagi setiap Muslim mempelajari cara membaca Al-Quran dengan betul, sama pentingnya membacanya setiap hari kerana Al-Quran adalah peringatan. Quran adalah Kalam Allah. Adalah penting untuk mengetahui apa yang Allah memberitahu kita dalam Kitab-Nya. Untuk melakukan ini, kita mesti tahu bahasa Arab. Jadi luangkan masa untuk belajar bahasa Arab. Sementara itu, bacalah terjemahan Quran yang baik dan supplement kefahamam dengan tafsir yang baik. Berikan ini keutamaan yang tinggi dalam kehidupan seharian anda kerana semakin lama anda menunggu untuk melakukan ini dan menunda-nunda, anda pasti kehilangan bimbingan berharga. Kita harus berasa malu apabila kita mendengar semakin ramai orang-orang bukan Islam datang ke Islam setelah mereka membaca Al-Quran. Apa yang anda tunggu? Jangan ketinggalan.
وَمَا تَوْفِيقِىٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ ﴿٨٨
Dan tidak ada taufik bagiku melainkan dengan (pertolongan) Allah. Hanya kepada Allah aku bertawakkal dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah aku kembali. [Quran, Hud 11:88]
Semoga Allah memberi kita tawfiq di dunia dan akhirat. Aameen
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa' ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui, lagi Maha Bijaksana, dan Dialah sahaja yang memberi kejayaana, dan kepadaNyalah kita kembali.
