Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubrak. Alhamdolillah we enter into centurion week with Ayah No 100 hoping and praying that Allah accepts this effort. For modern minds, memorization of Quran or part of it has always been a point of discussion. Most of us think of memorization as an extra deed, but the following hadith clarifies how hollow your soul is when you have nothing of the Quran in your heart. He who does not memorize any part from the Qur’an he is like the ruined house. [At-Tirmidhi] You might ask, why memorize in the 21st century when we have the Quran preserved by Allah and there are millions of copies and apps for it right at our fingertips, machine memory practically supplanting brain memory? Because to take a verse to heart is to know it by heart. Memorization provides us with knowledge of a qualitatively and physiologically different variety— you take the verse inside you and you know it at a deeper level than if you had simply read it off a screen. What you have in your heart is more easy to access and apply to your life in spontaneous situations. You won’t have to open the copy of it or turn on your mobile for that. Quran holds so much wisdom in it that keeping it in your heart will make you a wise person as well. Memorisation of at least first ten Ayahs of Al Kahf shall have very significant role in eschatology. So if end of times is in sight, then its memorisation is need of the hour for our generation next. It must be passed on like a baton from now to the next generations.
Today's Ayah No 100 is continuation of the previous Ayah No 99 which discussed establishment of The Day of Judgement. Firstly, Gog Mgog shall be unleashed and then the horn shall be blown for The Gathering. At the point, those who disbelieve shall be shown The Hell, the way it should be presented. This is the culmination point of the process of creation and there will be no escape for anyone. The only thing that could come for our rescue should be the right intent and good deeds.
May Allah swt keep us among the people on the right side. Ameen
