Assalamualaykum Companions,
We hope you are doing well in both eeman and health.
A Muslim’s home is their personal fortress. It is the place where they feel very comfortable worshipping their Lord as they, please. No wary eyes asking you why you keep hitting your head on the floor while praying. Our homes are our comfort, and they should be the place where a lot of the Qur’an is recited.
During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (SAW), it is said that if one walked in the early hours before fajr, one would hear people reciting Qur’an in their houses. Such that, those early hours came to be known as the hours of the reciters.
Abu Musa said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I recognize the voice of the group of Al- Ashariyun, when they recite the Qur’an when they enter their homes at night, and I recognize their houses by (listening) to their voices when they are reciting the Qur’an at night although I have not seen their houses when they came to them during the day time…” (Bukhari)
Our home should be a house of the Qur’an, but this doesn’t come by default or by accident. To establish a Qur’an presence in our homes, we need to cultivate deliberate habits that will lead us there, in sha’a Allah. |
