Gift to the bearers of the Qur’aan

Gift to the Bearers of the Qur’aan is a concise yet powerful manual for anyone connected to the noble path of memorizing the Qur’an. Whether you’re a ḥāfiẓ, a student beginning your journey, a parent guiding your child, or a teacher nurturing future Huffāẓ, this book offers practical insights, heartfelt reminders, and timeless wisdom.

Structured around ten core chapters, the book explores:

• The unmatched greatness of the Qur’an and its impact on the heart and soul.
• The virtues of the ḥāfiẓ, including their elevated status in this world and the Hereafter.
• Key principles for memorizing and retaining the Qur’an, along with special duʿās and aʿmāl to aid in hifẓ.
• Guidelines for adab (etiquette) in the classroom — with one’s teacher and fellow students — rooted in traditional Islamic pedagogy.
• Practical advice and spiritual counsel for the ḥāfiẓ, including what strengthens and weakens memory.
• Real-life inspiring stories of perseverance and divine assistance in the path of hifẓ.
• Clarification of important masā’il, such as sajdah tilāwah and respect for the musḥaf.
• A heartfelt reminder on the danger of forgetting the Qur’an, and tips to guard against it.
• A concluding chapter on the rights of the Qur’an — recitation, reflection, practice, and propagation.

Compiled with sincerity on the occasion of the author’s own son completing hifẓ, the book draws from rich sources such as Mafātīḥ al-Ḥijāz, Aadāb al-Muʿallim wal-Mutaʿallim, and Az-Ziyādah wal-Iḥsān fī ʿUlūm al-Qurʾān, among others. It is a reminder that the Qur’an is not only to be memorized but lived, loved, and honored.

May this book inspire every bearer of the Qur’an to rise to the honor and responsibility they have been gifted.
