The Ustaz from Indonesia was back again on last Sunday's Subuh Lecture. Heard his lecture after one of the terawih prayers last Ramadhan. Ustaz Burhanuddin emphasized on the importance of reading and understanding the Holy Qu'ran. I was impressed by his lecture and very delighted to see him again. Last Ramadhan he also talked about the Qur'an.

I could remember his words:

"When we are only in trouble, we read it. When we want to get married, we use it as a gift, then we leave it to collect dust at one corner of our home. We may read it very well but we never uphold its meaning; what it asks us to do with our life. Tell me oh blessed Jemaah, is that what the Qur'an wants?"

Thank you for your presence and lecture.

May Allah bless you dear Ustaz.

Alhamdulillah.
