All Muslims including men and women, Ulama and Huffadh, teachers and youth have been away from the Qur\u2019an. A big part of our problems, droughts and defeats are due to leaving the Qur\u2019an behind.\u201d
\n\u201cTake the example of an author; if any author sees his books are read, it makes him very happy. Otherwise, it is bad and sad news for him that his books are not welcomed by readers. The book of the Almighty also should be recited and learnt.\u201d
\nShaikh pointed out to the story of Mawlana Rumi in Arafat desert and said, \u201cMawlana Rumi used to recite the Noble Qur\u2019an a lot in Arafat desert; when people supplicate and ask Allah in Du\u2019a, He gives more and better to the reciters of His book.\u201d
\nHe said more, \u201cReciting the Noble Qur\u2019an is the best and biggest remembrance of the Almighty. Qur\u2019an is guidance, mercy and light for the hearts. Many people do not know the Qur\u2019an but few verses and small chapters; still they keep reciting those parts of the Qur\u2019an. Reciting the first chapter, Fatiha, is like reciting the whole Qur\u2019an in reward.\u201d
\nKhateeb and Friday imam of Zahedan called on the audience to recite the Qur\u2019an always and do not forget sending peace and prayer to the prophet, peace be upon him. <\/p>\n
