“A number of days may pass and I do not get to read

anything from the Qur’an, so is this considered making Hijra

from the Qur’an?” 

That would be a considered a great prevention from good. And

how much you have been made to lose! If you find yourself that

many days pass and you have not read anything from the book 

of Allah...then cry over yourself!

For by Allah! No one has been prevented from obeying his Lord indoing any good except that this is a proof

of his distance from Allah.Sufyaan At –Thawree (R.A) once said: “I once committed a

sin, so was prevented from night prayers for 6 months.” 

So if you find yourself that many days pass and the book of Allah has noshare in your days and during your hours of the night, then cry over your-

self and ask Allah the Mighty and Glorious for protection!

And place yourself in front of Allah the Mighty and Glorious – returning

to Him and seeking His forgiveness. For all of this is due to a sin between

you and your Lord. 

And now people have made Hijra from the book of Allah whilst the

past predecessors would attach themselves

strongly to the book of Allah. And the difference between the two parties is due to the trials that have afflicted us in this age.

And what would make you know that perhaps a trial in your body, or your

hearing, or a trial regarding your private part, has extinguished the light of 

faith in your heart!

So then because of this you did not bother yourself with the book of 

 Allah, nor did you love to read it! So the abundance of sins in this era has diverted the people from obedience and worship.

And our share of goodness from the book of Allah is much less than that ofthe first generations, those whom by their hands, much good was spread andmuch evil was suppressed. So we ask Allah the Mighty and Glorious that He

encompasses us with His Mercy and Clemency!

 And the best cure for this problem is to flee 

 from Allah to Allah.

And that whoever wishes to gain closeness to the Qur’an, he

should flee from trials and to distance himself from any evil that

would distance him from the book of Allah whether it was related

to his hearing, or his sight, or his private part,

or his hand or his tongue.

He distances himself from all of that. The past predecessors

would leave off non beneficial talk out of fear of falling into that

which was forbidden of speech.

So how about us when we have fallen into backbiting and

spreading tales and other than that of sins!
