In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani begins the third of Imam Nabahani’s forty sets of forty hadiths, on the virtues of the Qur’an and it’s recitation. In the first hadith, we learn that the best of people are those who learn and teach the Qur’an, and what it means to “learn” and to “teach”. In the second hadith, we learn about the reward of recitation of the Qur’an for those with mastery and those who struggle therein. Shaykh Faraz emphasizes that anyone serious about their religion must take the means to rectify their recitation of the Qur’an. Shaykh Faraz then continues the section on venerating knowledge and its people from Imam Zarnuji’s “Instruction of the Student”. We learn about the importance of seeking to please and obey one’s teacher in a principled manner, as a true teacher only wants what is good for you in your relationship with Allah Most High.
