CONCLUSION

Hopefully, Inshallah, the advices and encouragement contained in this book will encourage you to pursue hifz. Although this book is concise and straight to the point, the advices contained in it are a result of everything valuable I have found regarding hifz. There are obviously more beneficial things, but it is hoped that these 30 points will Insha- Allah faciliate the memorization of the 30 juz of the Holy Quran

If you cannot begin hifz now, at least make the intention that should in the future your responsibilites lessen, you will begin your hifz. Insha-Allah.

When you begin your hifz, consider the following dua by Hafiz Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawzi (rah), it is especially relevant for those who will or are already pursuing the path of hifz, sulook or ilm.

الهى لا تعذب لسانا يخبر عنك

ولا عينا تنظر الى علوم تدل عليك

ولا قدما تمشى الى خدمتك

ولا يدا تكتب حديث رسولك

فبعزتك لا تدخلنى النار

فقد علم اهلها انى كنت اذب عن دينك



Ilahi laa tu'azib lisaanan yukhbiru 'ank.

Wa laa 'aynan tanzuru ilaa 'uloomin tadullu alayk.

Wa laa qadaman tamshee ilaa khidmatik

Wa laa yadan taktubu haditha rasulik

Fabi 'izatika laa tadkhulnin naar.

Faqad 'alima ahlahaa annee kuntu adhubbu 'an deenik.



O my Allah U! Don't give punishment to that tongue (meaning my tongue) that informs people about You and Your laws.

And don't punish those eyes either (meaning my eyes) that looks at those Islamic sciences which guide people toward You.

And don't punish those feet either (meaning my feet) that walk in Your Divine service.

And don't punish those hands either (meaning my hands) which write the hadith of Your beloved Messenger r.



By your Honor! Don't enter me into the fire, because the people of this world know that I defended Islam from its adversaries, and protected your religion from their intrusions.
