An Interview with Umm Saalih,A Grandmother Who Completed Memorizing the Qur'aan at Eighty-Two Years Old
As Read by Dr. Saleh as Saleh
Al-Hamdulillaah (All-Praise is due to Allah), the One Who said (what means):
"And in truth We have made the Qur'aan easy to remember; but is there any
that remembers?" Surah 54: 32
Many all over the world memorize the Qur'aan, and it is not strange to see
the youth memorizing the Noble Qur'aan and an early age. Al-Hamdulillaah,
the One who made the Qur'aan easy for remembrance, had made it easy for Umm
Saalih age 82. In an interview with Umm Saalih,she was asked the following
questions:
Q1: "What was the reason that drove you to memorize the Qur'aan after so many years?"
She said, "I always hoped to memorize the Qur'aan from the time I was young.
My father always used to invoke Allaah for me to become one of the
memorizers of the Qur'aan, like himself and like the elder brothers of my
family who memorized it. So I memorized in the beginning about three parts
and then after I completed the age of thirteen, I got married and became
busy with the household and the children. After I had seven children, my
husband died. They (the children) were all young so I took the time to raise
them and educate them, and then after they grew up and got married, I had
more time for myself. Therefore, the first thing I directed myself to focus
upon was the Qur'aan.
Q2: "Tell us about your journey with the Noble Qur'aan."
She said, "My younger daughter was going to high school and she was the
closest of my children to me and the most beloved, because she stayed with
me after her older sisters got married and got busy with their lives, and
because she was a quiet girl,upright, loving, and good. In addition, she was
interested in learning the Noble Qur'aan, and her teachers encouraged her.
Furthermore, she was very enthusiastic and always told me of many women who
were driven by this great motivation to memorize the ur'aan, and this is
where I started."
Q3: "Tell me about your way of memorization."
She said, "We assigned ten verses (meaning her and her daughter who was
going to high school). So each day after Asr, we used to sit together. She
reads and I repeat after her three times. Then she explains the meaning to
me, and after a while, she repeats that three times. On the next morning,
she repeats them to me before she goes to school.
She recorded also the recitations of Ash Shaykh al Husary, Rahimuhullaah,
repeating each verse three times and thus I continued to listen most of the
time. Therefore, the next day we would go to the next ten verses if my
memorization was good.Otherwise, we would postpone taking additional verses
until the day after. Moreover, we assigned the day of Friday to review the
memorizations of the entire week. And this was the journey from the
beginning."
Then she said, "Over four years and a half, I memorized twelve juz"
according to the way I described to you. Then this young daughter got
married. When her husband knew of our task concerning the memorization, he
rented a house close to me, close to my house, so that he could allow the
continuation of the memorization. In addition, he, May Allah reward him used
to encourage us and sometimes sit with us listening, explaining and
teaching.
Then after three years of her marriage, my daughter got busy with the
children and the household and our schedule was interrupted, but that did
not make her give up. To the contrary, she sensed that my eagerness for the
memorization was still established so she looked for a special good teacher
to continue the journey under her supervision. So, I completed the
memorization by the success of Allaah and my daughter is still working to
finish the memorization of the Glorious Qur'aan. She has a little left, In
Shaa Allaah Ta'aala.
Q4: "This motivation of yours, did it have an effect on other women around you?"
She said, "It really had a good strong effect. My daughters and
stepdaughters were all encouraged and worked on learning and teaching the
Qur'aan to their children and learning it themselves.
Q5: "After finishing the Noble Qur'aan, don't you think about working on memorizing hadith?"
She said, "Now I have memorized ninety hadith and In Shaa Allaah I will
continue the journey. I depend,in my memorization, upon the tapes and upon
the Qur'aan radio station. At the end of each week, my daughter comes and
checks for me the memorization of three hadith, and I am trying now to
memorize more.
Q6: "Over this period of memorization of the Qur'aan, did your life change?
Was it affected in one way or another?"
She said, "Yes, I went through a major change and I tried always, all praise
is due to Allaah, to obey Allaah before I started the memorization. However,
after I started the task of memorization, I began to feel a self-comfort, a
great self-comfort and all worries began to move away from me. I even
reached the stage of freeing myself from all these excessive worries
concerning fearing for the children and their affairs, and my morale was
boosted.
I had a noble objective to work for and this is a great Ni'mah (Favor) from
Allaah . upon me, since we know that some women, when they get old and they
do not have a husband, and their children got married, may be destroyed by
the empty time, thoughts, worries, and so forth. But, AlHamdulillaah, I
didn't go through this and I made myself busy with a great task and a great
objective.
Q7: "Didn't you think at one point, to join one of the circles focusing on teaching the Noble Qur'aan?"
The answer was, "Yes, some of the women suggested this to me, but I am a
woman who got used to staying at home, and I don't like to go out everyday,
and Al Hamdulillaah, my daughter sufficed me from all difficulty and I was
so happy while I was learning from her. My daughter had set an example in
goodness and righteousness which we rarely find in our days.
She started this task and journey with me while she was an adolescent and
this is a critical age many people complain of. She used to pressure herself
so that she could have spare time to teach me, and she used to teach me with
kindness and wisdom. Her husband was a good help to her and he exerted a lot
of effort. I ask Allaah . to give them success and to bring their children
up on uprightness."
Q8: "What do you say to a woman of your age who wishes to learn and memorize
the Qur'aan yet she is worried about it and feeling unable to?"
She said, "I say to her there their shall be no despair with the firm,
sincere and truthful determination. Begin with sincerity, firm determination
and dependence on Allaah at each time. And remember that at this age you
should have the time for yourself. However, do not use your time to only go
out or to sleep and so forth. Rather, busy yourself with righteous work.
Q9: "Now what would you say to a woman who is still young? What would you advise her?"
She, may Allaah preserve her, said: "Preserve Allaah and He will preserve
you. Make use of the favor of Allaah bestowed upon you from health and ways
and means of comfort. Use that to memorize the Book of Allaah. This is the
light which enlivens your heart, your life and your grave after you die.
And if you have a mother then exert the effort to teach her, and there is no
better favor upon a mother than one of her righteous children aiding her to
be close to Allaah.

Deen Intensive
I was waiting for no reason - actually to recall back what I am supposed to buy before I'm off home, when Omar waved his hands from afar, seeking for a conversation. I just stood there, and pondered - was there anything that I promised him, but has been forgotten?
"...Salaamualaykum!"
"Alaikumussalam.... shaikh barak? Aina anta wein?"
"Bikhair... wa anta?"
"Bikhair aidan faqad..."
"So what brings you here?"
"Oh I just want to ask you, what are going to do for your summer?"
"Errmmm.... I'm going back, and there gonna be many things to do! (laughed), you know, my cousins relatives and all, juniors, a bit of studying I guess (laughed again)"
"I see. Hmmm... just to have a check with you. Ermm I'm still thinking about doing a research over here mmm... its gonna be good, but 8 weeks... huh... I don't know (shrugged)"
"8 weeks? Wow... you are sure a really busy lad"
"I am just worried I can't do... errr... read, erm... you know the kitab and all that..."
"Masya Allah brother, you mean thafaqquh or something like that?"
"Yeah yeah... and 'Abadi... you should do that as well..."
"Insya Allah... hmmm..."
Thafaqquh?
What say you?
Flashback - 2 years back, when I was meeting with my advisor, Pak Ibrahim up in the KLCCC, advised the same thing. Same goes with Kak Rashidah Bahaman. I wonder how are they right now.

News From UK
Hmmm... WMF is here again... Is he becoming a Dubliner? Now we're open for detectives out to investigate. Pertaining this photo, the student elections is on going everywhere in UK. But I haven't updated myself about it much anyway. Maybe in some universities its already over like in Nottingham and Manchester.
Actually there was an uproar in recent student elections in UK, thanks to recount that lead to controversy about the transparency of the election commission. I can't help much if I am being judgmental (or prejudice, perhaps) since I am glued to my chair - but by all means, there must be something that isn't right taking place.
Anyhow, the future is bright for us.
"There will be a time, that even if we nominate a duck as a rep, that duck will win"
Oh yes, here is a piece of advice I got from YM:
No one attains the reality of zuhud (renunciation) until there are 3 characteristics in him:
- work without attachment
- speech without personal motives
- honor without seeking position
