Best of you

20. "The best of you are my generation, then those that follow them and then those that follow them. Then there shall come after them a people who will betray and be untrustworthy, will give witness even though they have not been asked to, will make vows yet will not fulfil them and obesity will appear amongst them." [Bukhâri]

Quotes to remember

29. A nomad said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ “Advise me.” And he ﷺ said, “If a man defamed you with what he knows about you, do not defame him with what you know about him. For the sin is against him.” The nomad said, “I never abused any person after that.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

Forgetting the Qur'aan After Having Memorized It

Question:

Does a person sin when he memorizes the Qur'aan and later on he forgets it, being busy with life's affairs?
Answer:

The correct view is that there is no sin in that. Nevertheless, a Muslim should maintain what he memorized, and guard over it, so that he does not forget it. The Prophet sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said,
"Secure (your memorization of) the Qur'aan, for it escapes more easily than a camel does from its fetter." (Al-Bukhari no.5033 and Muslim no.791)

The most important responsibility regarding the Qur'aan is that one should contemplate its meanings and apply its precepts.

The Qur'aan is a proof for the person who applies it, a proof against the person who neglects it. The Prophet sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said,

"The Qur'aan is either a proof for you or a proof against you." (Muslim no.223)

Recorded by Muslim in his Sahih from the long Hadith of Al-Harith Al-Ash'ari.
