بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Imagine your home. Is it just a building kidnapped by absolute silence? Is it filled with the dangerous poison - called Music? Or it's filled with the vibration of TV movies and dramas? Or it is filled with the peaceful words of Allah - Qur'an?

Alhamdulillah!!!

For those who were not lucky to read the previous episode of this article, we narrated a story of a man named Ustaz Abdulqadir. He was not a scholar, but he was a very wise man. He knew that a Muslim home should be a safe place for the soul. He decided that the sound in his house would always be the Qur'an.

From the morning prayer until night, the beautiful recitation of the Qur'an played in his home. It was there when his children got ready for school. It was there when his wife cooked and cleaned. It was there when he gets to his shop. At night, as his family slept, the Qur'an was kept playing till Fajr prayer time.

His children grew up with these sounds. They didn't need to be forced to memorize the Qur'an. Because they heard it every day, the words settled easily into their young hearts.

Then, the time came for Ustaz Abdulqadir to leave this world.

As his family prepared his body for burial, something amazing happened. The voice of his favourite Qur'an reciter began to play. But there was no radio, no phone, no speaker. It was as if the walls of his house, after years of listening, had learned the Qur'an by heart and were now reciting it for him.

This sound followed his body even when they carried him out of his house for the funeral prayer.

Hundreds of people who heard it were speechless. Then, the moment the Imam stepped forward and said the first "Allahu Akbar" to start the prayer, the sound of the Qur'an audio stopped completely.

The moment the prayer ended with "Assalamu Alaikum", the beautiful recitation started again, right where it had left off.

The Qur'an went with him to the graveyard. The gravediggers, their hands trembling, began to cover the grave with sand. With each shovelful, the sound did not diminish. When the last patch of earth was patted down, and the final du'a was about to be made, another most incredible thing happened.

A pure, bright white light shone from his grave. And from that light, the sound of the Qur'an rose up, powerful and clear. Everyone watched as the light and the sound went up, up, up towards the sky, until they disappeared.

This is the powerful truth for every Muslim.

Ustaz Abdulqadir lived with the Qur'an. He made it the companion of his life. And when he died, the Qur'an did not leave him. It became his companion in death.

It was his light in the darkness of the grave. It was his comfort on a scary journey.
It was his key to Allah's mercy.

My dear brother, my dear sister, this is a message for us.

What are we filling our lives with?

What are we listening to all day?

The Qur'an is not just a book for special times like Ramadan month. It is a living friend. If you make it your friend in this life, it will be your friend in the next.

Let us read and play the Qur'an in our homes everyday. Let our children grow up with its sound.

Read it. Listen to it. Live with it. Until your very last breath. Because the companion of your life will be the companion of your death.

Choose TV dramas/movies plus music Or Qur'an. The choice is yours!
