Assalamu’alaikum,
May
you be in the best of health and barakah this Ramadhan
The 4th
and final installation to the YMP Ramadhan Series is on insyaAllah! Circle #4 is
most pertinent as it is our last chance to hear about how to ‘Hook Up with The
Quran’ this Ramadhan.
We
are very much familiar insyaAllah with the Quran as the Kalimatullah, a gift to
the entire ummah, a guide for the living and those who have passed, a book of
vast knowledge, and a mu’jizat bestowed upon us via the prophet Muhammad
Rasulullah s.a.w.
How
many of us struggles to find time reading the Qur'an because of a busy worldly
life?
How
many of us used to have the habit of reading the Qur'an daily but the habit
fades away?
How
many of us tried hard getting those habits up again, but failed and failed
again?
Why
is the blessed month of Ramadhan called the month of Quran?
This
is because it is the month in which the Quran was first revealed to mankind,
believed to be on the Night of Al-Qadr or better known as Al-Lailatu-ul-Qadr. Allah
Al-Zawajalla says in the Qur’an:
“O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed
to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn)
self-restraint…Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a
guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right
and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month
should spend it in fasting…” (Al-Baqara, 2: 183- 185)
Let’s
take the opportunity of this month of Ramadan to gear up in our acts of
worship, and one of the ways is to hook up ourselves with the Qur'an again.
This is where we reintroduce ourselves with the Qur'an to reflect our state of
belief and actions and to ask ourselves whether we are on the right track. This
is where we pick that habit up again and gain momentum to read, memorize and
internalize the Qur'an persistently, gradually and continuously.
Join
us this Sunday in our Ramadan Series #4 with Brother Shah Kirit as we find ways
to hook up with the Qur'an again, and be constant with it even after this month
comes to an end inshaAllah. InsyaAllah in this weekend’s circle, we will use
our last mile this Ramadhan to explore some secrets, stories, knowledge and
discoveries of the Quran, to help pique further our interest in the Quran.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Brother
Shah Kirit’s name perhaps reflects his non-Muslim origin and also his current
status as a Muslim. It would not be an exaggeration to claim that Brother Shah
(the way he likes to be called) is probably one of the leading and most popular
speakers on Comparative Religion and on Islam for non-Muslims, in Malaysia
today.
As
the leading da’wah officer at IIS, he has been delivering talks and giving
courses on Comparative Religion for tenyears now. He is also the Da’wah
Ambassador at SABA Islamic Media Sdn Bhd, having joined the organization in
1999.
His
friendly, sincere, unassuming and always-humble way befits his main purpose in
life – to explain Islam to anyone in the most direct and simple way possible,
hence making clear Islam’s great message of peace and hopefully making a
difference to Peace & Harmony throughout the nation and the world. Simply
put, it is something of impossibility for anyone to dislike Brother Shah, even
if one disagrees with his view. Being an avid advocate of truthfulness and
fairness, he does not hesitate to correct actions and situations around him, be
it among Muslims or non-Muslims.
