Golden Advices For Students of Quran – A Poem (translated)

Praise be to Allah,
Who preserved and provided me
And bestowed the honor of reciting the Quran upon me
And blessings upon the chosen Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
Best of mankind from the sons of ‘Adnani
This is a poem
Containing precious advice like the pearls of a necklace
I made it for him who seeks to know the verses of guidance
And organized it for those looking for guidance
I ask my Lord that He favors with completion, this piece of poem
and its meanings, with clarity
O those who seek the pathways of salvation and desire
To memorize the Quran with eagerness and dedication
I am going to present to you a blueprint
(Of advices) like jewelry made of gold ore
You will recite the Quran with ease and smoothness
And will be preserved from the ill of forgetfulness
Purify your intentions and your actions towards your Lord
And call upon Him to strengthen you
And to remove shaytan’s whispers from you
Leave the sins, small and big ones
For sin extinguishes the light of the mind
Find the shaykh with a quranic chain of narration
The trustworthy one, the generous bearer of the Quran, in your proximity
The ascetic, the pious, the radiant one
With the nobleness of manners and faith
Don’t miss a lesson of your shaykh even once
Don’t miss a lesson of your shaykh even once
And beware of carelessness and distractions
Go to his lesson if you memorized only one ayat
For regular attendance quenches the mistakes of the thirsty
After prayer, memorize 3 lines
That is after each mandatory prayer
Don’t be weak, lacking will
So in total, it is 15 lines
After each full and smiling day
The total after 6 days, my fellow
Is 90 lines, understood with clarity
At the 7th day, review the achieved
To help anchor in your mind
If you will, then only 5 verses per day of healthy prayers
So the sum will be 150 ayats
After each month, if you calculate
Review and repeat what you have memorized without boredom
And write it down with some meanings
Review with the companions when you meet them
And give advice to the brother and sisters
A recitation through a phone call even one verse
Is better than useless chat
Recite what you have memorized during your nightly prayers
For night is the time of (Allah) the Benefactors kindness
Recite in the other prayers as well
And be grateful towards your Lord, the Most Powerful
Contemplate and look at the verses
If you have you have your eyesight
To help engraving them in your memory
Preserve your heart as much as you can from passion and inclination
Until your heart is enlightened with the Quran
And pay attention to the similar verses
For they are an aid for the memory and comprehension
The similitude in the Quran is a favor
For the passionate pondering student
And if you forget or err too much
Don’t despair, for it is from shaytan
And if you completed the memorization
Review the whole Quran in 7 days
Following the example of your human Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
Don’t ever accept praises from anyone
Don’t ever accept praises from anyone
Don’t ever accept praises from anyone
And heal yourself from the hidden shirk (riyaa’) and its evil
And purify yourself from grudges and hatred
Don’t ever accept praises from anyone or material profit
For everything is doomed to fade
Walk with the fear of God within you
And wear proper clothes
Perfume yourself with perfume
Have a siwak dried cloves in your mouth
Keeping your body clean for the sweetness of the Quran
Abandon detestable deeds, vices and disputes
Don’t look in your acts like a child
Don’’t recite in wicked places
Like places of people of perversion and disobedience
Don’t bed with the Quran
And live by it
Like a proud man, not cowardly
And the low world of man
Suffice yourself with the Quran
And ask for aid from the Creator, the Most Merciful
The Quran wa sent down, O my people
So that you live by it
It was not revealed for marriages and funerals
O you Bearer (Memorizer) of the Quran
O your Bearer of the Quran
Read and Elevate Yourself
Recite
For you are the believer of God
In fact, you are the best men
So the chosen Prophet said
In the hadith narrated by Uthman
My Lord, forgive me if I forgot
For I am a weak servant destined to disappear
And if I was right, its thanks to You Alone, my Creator
You are the Most Generous with infinite mercy
This poem was made by Muhammad ibn abi al Hassan
Honor him O Lord of goodness and kindness
And his brothers in the “Recite and Elevate yourself” assembly
Forgive them with the intercession of the Quran
As well as every reciter and every teacher
Bestow upon them the grace of your satisfaction
As well as every reciter and every teacher
Bestow upon them the grace of your satisfaction
And salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
At every moment and second of this creation

May Allah shower His mercy upon the Shaykh and elevate him to the highest station. 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.

Wassalaam
