Khutbat al Haajah (first part)

Question:

What is the correct way of memorizing the Qur’aan and the Hadeeths?

Answer:

As for memorizing the Qur’aan, then the people differ, from the people there are those that are able to memorize a page, and from them there are those that can memorize both sides of a page; and from them there are those that are not able to memorize except half a page or less (than that), so everyone according to their ability.

From the affairs that which aid in memorizing the Qur’aan are repetition, revision and standing in the night prayer with it (i.e. that which you have memorized) if you are able to perform the night prayer. For indeed Allaah, the One free from all imperfections and the Most High says:

Verily, the rising by night (for Tahajjud prayer) is very hard and most potent and good for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (understanding) the Word (of Allâh). [Soorah Al-Muzzammil 73:6]

And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salât (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Qur'an in the prayer), as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawâfil) for you (O Muhammad sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). [Soorah Al-Isra 17:79]

Likewise taking from the Mashaykh and memorizing at their hands. If you do not find them, then I advise you to stick to the cassettes of the proficient reciters, those whom recite with a sound recitation, and not those who exaggerate as ‘Abdul Baasit does; rather, the recitation of just balanced sound reciters and not those that (recite in a manner) that was disliked by some of the Salaf.

As for the memorization of Hadeeth, then they are little easier if it is done without the Asaaneed (chains of narration), so it is possible that you memorize a Hadeeth in a day or two days or three days then act upon this hadeeth, for indeed this aids in making the Hadeeth firmly grounded, then studying with the brothers and lots of repetition.

"The Proper Covering of the Muslimah In and Out of the Home" by Dawud Adib

"Uthman Bin Affan" by Dawud Adib (order the series from Masjid AsSunnatun Nabawiyyah-Philly)

Notes Taken from the lecture

1. Should be covered with her entire body, apart from what has been excluded by the shari'ah

2. That it (the clothing) should not be an adornment in an of itself. (The khimaar, Jilbaab, niqaab ect...)

3. The covering should be thick and not transparent. (Ex: Thin overgarments that in the light you can see the size of her bones.)

4. That the clothing should be light, loose, wide so it does not describe any part of the body. (The purpose is to prevent temptation)

5. The clothing should not be perfumed with bukhoor or fragrance. (The one who does this is an adultress/Prostitute) Listen for further details about lotions, soaps, and deodorants inshaAllah.

6. The clothing should not resemble the clothing of men. (Get rid of the boxer shorts ladies if you have them!)

7. The clothing of the women should not resemble or imitate the kaafir women

8. The clothing should not be of fame, and vanity.

The purpose for Jilbaab is not for zinaa (2nd type). For if it were for zinaa it would be defeating the purpose of covering your zinaa. Ex: If you have a Jilbaab that is decorative or attractive then you have defeated the purpose of Jilbaab. The Hijaab, when applied to the women means that it is a mind set! Jilbaab should not be thought of as apparell, it is a state of mind.
