The follower who strives his soul should have Werd (certain amount of remembrance done regularly) reciting the book of Allah, he shouldn’t close the book of Koran at the night of Eed (feast) and leave it until next Ramadan, this is not the action of servants who want higher degrees and want to be promoted at Allah the Praiseworthy and the Glorious. He should recite the Koran every day, the apostle of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) explained this and said:
"Whoever stays up by reciting ten verses, he won't be one of heedless people, whoever stays up by reciting hundred verses, he is one of submissive people and whoever stays up by reciting thousand verses, he is one of those who pile up rewards."
I.e. those whose rewards come to Allah by kantar or quintal, this means that one should recite not less than hundred verses every day and night, how long do hundred verses take? Not more than ten minutes, but the eye should look in the book of Allah and the ears should listen to the words of Allah and the tongue moves by uttering the words of Allah, this is an immunity for these organs against all diseases in this life.
The companions of the apostle of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to feel chopfallen during all the day if they didn’t start in the morning by reading in the book of Allah, why? Because he didn’t start by the book of his Lord, you should have permanent Werd of the Koran as they used to have. The book of Allah was their amusement, their sociable and their supply when they stayed up nights, Badr-Eddeen Al-Einy mentioned in his book Omdat Al-Kary their great conditions, he said:
"Obayy Ibn-Ka'b used to finish it every eight days, Al-Aswad used to finish it every six days, Alkamah used to finish it every five days, it was narrated after Mo'az Ibn-Jabal that some of them used to finish it in one night or one prostration, this was also narrated after Othman Ibn-Affan and Tameem Ad'dary, Abu-Obayd mentioned that Solaym used to finish the Koran three times a night, the writer of At'tawdeeh said: The most that reached us is reading the Koran eight times by a day and a night. As'salmy said: I heard sheikh Abu-Othman Al-Moghraby saying: Ibn-Al-Kateb finishes the Koran four times by day and four times by night."
They used to see each other's ways in reading the book of Allah to know the bounties Allah granted to everyone of them, they didn’t use to carp or criticize each other, no one of them saw himself better than his companions by his deeds, listen to this great conversation between our sir Abu-Moosa Al-Ash'ary and our sir Mo'az Ibn-Jabal, Mo'az asked him:
"How do you recite the Koran oh Abu-Moosa? He said: In my prayers, on my pack animal, walking, riding, standing, sitting and in my bed, I make it as parts or sections. Abu-Moosa said: How do you recite oh Mo'az? He said: I sleep at the beginning of night to afford staying up at its end and I expect rewards in my sleep more than in my staying up." In the narration of Al-Bokhary: "Mo'az said: I sleep at the beginning of night then I get up having my share of sleep, then I recite what Allah wills for me and I hope to get rewards for my sleep the same as my staying up."
Look at this high understanding in worshipping Allah, they always had truthful worship at every moment, when they slept, they hope to get rewards in their sleep as they did it to afford staying up more than staying up itself.
Every moment in their age is worship, if they are walking or riding, moving or standing still, even their sleep is great light, wage and worship deserve rewards from Allah, its amount only known by Allah.
The famous worshipper Sayedah Hafsah Bent-Sereen; the sister of Mohammed Ibn-Sereen used to read half of the Koran every night during prayers, when she was standing at her mosque at night, the lamp might be extinguished, the house was full of light for her till morning she was one of the worshipper females of Al-Basrah.
When her brother Ibn-Sereen needed to ask anything in Koran he said: Go and ask Hafsah how she recites it. She used to say: Oh young people, exploit your youth, I think I could only work during my youth.
These are few examples of the deeds of previous men and women, what you do yourselves oh young people? What you do oh you who have money, health and time for most of you?
Everyone claims that he is a great sheikh and conductor in striving his soul, where is the proof?
