The Fadâil (virtues) of becoming a Hâfiz

It has been narrated in the Hadîth:

1. The best amongst you is he who learns the Qurân or teaches it.

2. For you to go in the morning and learn one verse of the book of Allâh Ta`âlâ is better for you than performing a hundred Rak`ats (of Salâh) and for you to go in the morning and learn a chapter of knowledge, whether it is practised upon or not, is better than performing a thousand Rak`ats.

3. Never do a people gather in one of the houses of Allâh Ta`âlâ reciting the Qurân and reading it to one another but Sakînah (peace) descends upon them, Rahmah (mercy) enshrouds them, the angels throng around them and Allâh Ta`âlâ remembers them in the assembly of angels.

Explanation: This Hadîth describes the special virtues of Madâris, which carry honours of varying degrees. Each of the rewards mentioned above is so sublime that even if one devotes his whole life to acquire it, it will be worthwhile. But here there are so many rewards, especially the last one. Certainly, mention in the court of the Almighty Sustainer and remembrance in the company of the Beloved are bounties that can hardly be surpassed.

4. Amongst the people there are those who are like the household of Allâh Ta`âlâ. The Sahâbah Radiallâhu `Anhum asked: “Who are those people?” Rasűlullâh Sallallâhu `Alayhi Wasallam replied: “Men of the Qurân, they are the household of Allâh and His favoured ones.

Explanation: “Men of the Qurân” are those who are always occupied with the Qurân and have a special attachment to it.

5. “Whoever reads the Qurân and acts upon what is contained in it, his parents will be made to wear a crown on the day of judgement the brilliance of which will excel that of the sun, if it were within your worldly houses. So what do you think of the person who himself acts upon it?”

Explanation: Thus it is through the virtues of reading the Qurân and acting upon it that the parents of the reader will be honoured with a crown, the brilliance of which will far excel the light of the sun even if the sun was within one’s own house. The light of the crown to be worn by the parents of the reader will be more brilliant than that of the sun. The parents get this reward solely because they were the cause of the reader coming into being or because they were responsible for his education.

6. “Whomsoever makes his child memorise the Qurân will be raised on the day of judgement in the semblance of the full moon. His son will be asked to begin reciting and for every verse read by the child, the status of the parent will be raised to the next higher grade in Jannah till the recitation of the Qurân is completed.”

Such are the blessings of teaching the Qurân to your children. As long as the child lives whatever good deeds he performs, the Salâh he performs and forgiveness he seeks from Allâh Ta`âlâ for you, will elevate your position in Jannah.

7. Whomsoever reads the Qurân and learns it by heart and regards its lawful as lawful and its unlawful as unlawful will be admitted into Jannah by Allâh Ta`âlâ Who will also accept his intercession in respect of ten such persons of his family who are doomed to Jahannam.

The ten persons in whose favour his intercession will be accepted will be those sinful and disobedient Muslims who are guilty of major sins. There can be no intercession for the non-believers. Those who are not Hâfiz and are unable to memorise the Holy Qurân should at least make one of their relatives a Hâfiz so that by his grace they may be saved of their own evil doings.
 

Parents play a great role in the education of their children. It is not a one-sided effort of the Ustâd alone on the child. The Ustâd will do his share but the parents must also play their part.

1. Parents must show their eagerness and concern for the student’s educational progress and good behaviour.

2. Parents must encourage their children to take their studies seriously and boost their spirits always.

3. Parents must particularly see to it that their children attend very regularly and punctually. Especially the morning classes after Fajr. Vain excuses like weddings etc. should not be allowed to disturb the educational progress of the child.

4. Parents must see to it that the dressing of their children at all times is such that it befits a student becoming Hâfiz of the Qurân.

5. Parents are requested to keep an eye on the character, morals and behaviour of students.

6. Parents/ Guardians must sign the “application for admission form” to the effect that they will abide by all the Madrasah regulations.

7. Parents should keep contact with the Madrasah and particularly with the student’s Ustâdh with regard to the student’s progress, behaviour, problems etc. Always feel free and welcome to discuss any matter of mutual interest, particularly with regard to matters pertaining to the student, his progress etc.

8. Any student who leaves the Madrasah without consent ceases to be the responsibility of the Madrasah and the Madrasah, principal and staff will not be held liable if any misfortune, Allâh forbid, befalls the student as a consequence thereof.
