Different countries… different cultures… one Qur’an ❤️📖

Mā shā’ Allāh… The moment of completing the Qur’an is not an ordinary moment; it is a time when mercy descends and hearts are enveloped in blessing. ❤️
It was reported from the noble Companion Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
«إِذَا وَافَقَ العَبْدُ خَتْمَهُ لِلْقُرْآنِ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ المَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، وَإِنْ وَافَقَ خَتْمَهُ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ المَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُمْسِي.»
“If a servant completes the Qur’an at the beginning of the night, the angels send prayers upon him until morning; and if he completes it at the end of the night, they send prayers upon him until evening.”
The righteous predecessors deeply honored this occasion. It is authentically reported that Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) would gather his family and make duʿā’ whenever he completed the Qur’an.
It is also narrated from the noble Tābiʿī Mujāhid ibn Jabr (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said:
«كَانُوا يَجْتَمِعُونَ عِنْدَ خَتْمِ القُرْآنِ، يَقُولُونَ: تَنْزِلُ الرَّحْمَةُ.»
“They would gather at the completion of the Qur’an and say: Mercy descends.”
Furthermore, Imām al-Nawawī (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that some of the Tābiʿīn would begin the day fasting on the day they completed the Qur’an, in reverence of this blessed occasion.
Today, I share with you such a profound moment:
One of my students reciting his final lesson of ijāzah, crowned with the completion of the Book of Allah.
I invite you to watch the video in full. Attending a completion of the Qur’an is a source of blessing, and gatherings of completion are places where mercy descends. Perhaps Allah will envelop you in a share of that mercy. 🌿
Do not deprive yourself of witnessing this moment— for perhaps a gathering you attend with your heart may earn you a reward beyond what you can imagine.
