Dear Parents,
Ramadan is knocking at the door. Many among us have already started rehearsing koran with a view to complete it within the month of Ramadan for achieving reward of one khatom of koran. Rehearsing koran in the month of Ramadan accrue extra benefit because if any person reads one ‘haraf’then that person can earn one neki [reward] and it increases ten times in the month of Ramadan.Koran can be recited any times during day and night,in the calm and quite environment in the night. In this connection Allah reveals: ——“recite the koran in slow, measured rhythmic tones.Soon shall we send down to thee a weighty word” [sura muzzammil,ayat 4-5]. A person can easily achieve reward if that person listen the recitation of koran carefully and attentively with utmost devotion while praying tarabi. However, Koran is the one that can be recited even without knowing the meaning of what one recites can yields rewards. A riteous person is never found to be stretching his feet towards the place where a copy of koran is kept,they bring forth and never sitting keeping the koran at his back. It is said that hazrat Oomar[r:] used to kiss the book of koran everyday who said ‘it is a guide from our Lord and revealed by Allah’. Hazrat Osman and Hazrat Ikrima both used to kiss the book of koran as mark of respect.However we should take precution and if accidentally copy of koran falls down on the ground then what we do and it is our usual practice that we offer two and half kg of rice to the poor to compensate the damage done but olema prohibits and instead if one utters the words ‘ innalillahe wa innailaihe razeun’ then that would be alright.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to the parents who made efforts to prepare their children to participate in last years koran recitation and Islamic paper presentation on every Sunday, in this year also we hope and expect they would make their all efforts to make their children ready to participate in the upcoming series of events being held on every Sunday in the month of Ramadan.Further I would like to request to tell their children for the participation in the programs to register their names to me before start of the programs.
Thanking you in anticipation. Allah hafez.
With regards,
Nazmul Ahsan
