Occupying Oneself with the Obedience of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And among the etiquettes of fasting: That a person should occupy his time with the obedience of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), through dhikr, reading the Qur'an, giving charity, and being kind to people. For (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most generous of people, and he was at his most generous in Ramadan when Jibril would come to him and review the Qur'an with him. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) — when Jibril reviewed the Qur'an with him — was more generous with good than the blowing wind).
Do not make your day of fasting like your day of breaking the fast. Make your humility and worship greater than your reading of the Qur'an, for the month of Ramadan is the month of the Qur'an, and the Qur'an was revealed in Ramadan. So it is the month of the Qur'an; increase your reading of the Qur'an with reflection, contemplation, and the presence of mind that you are reading the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), the words of the Lord of the worlds.
Have you seen if a person reads a book that was sent to him by his friend, what would his feeling be when reading this book? He would feel that his friend is before him.
Likewise, you are reading the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
O my brother! Be polite with the etiquettes of the Qur'an, as if Allah is addressing you right now,If he says: (O you who believe) you are the first to pay attention, He is addressing you, so feel this so that the Qur'an has greatness in your heart. And for this reason, it is forbidden for one in a state of major ritual impurity to read the Qur'an out of respect for the Qur'an until he takes a full ritual bath, and it is forbidden for one in a state of minor ritual impurity to touch the Qur'an until he performs the ablution, and it is forbidden for a person to bring the mushaf into dirty places, such as the bathroom and the like, except out of dire necessity. The important thing is that the Qur'an is the word of Allah (Mighty and Majestic); feel that when you read it, you are reading the words of the Lord of the worlds (Mighty and Majestic), it is not ordinary speech, it is the word of Allah.
