In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I think there is a particular sweetness in the Qur’an for those who have memorized it. I notice it now. The way they just move their eyes cos they heard someone say something wrong, even a missed izhār they can spot, infact dont even blame your network, they know you missed it. It is just in the way they are with the Qur'an. It is like shazam with Qur’an or maybe it is shazam that is like the Qur'an with its people.
Juz amma seems so easy, but it has been a humbling journey memorizing it. Even the mutashabihāt are enough to keep you on your toes.
My teacher is warm and strict. I like it. Cos even the letters I struggle with, she makes me work so hard at it, they are much better in the suwar I have memorized with her. Alhamdulillah!
Today, I made a few mistakes, and I have to redo the whole page 🙃 and Ustadha was right, I didn't give it as much this week as my previous hifdh. But I am more humbled by this lady who has been correcting her surah al-fatiha for a month. She shows up every week and reads surah al-fatiha, and Ustadha has something for her to work on. And she doesn't sound upset or disappointed or sad. And I am sitting in awe of her and then I remember something another teacher said when I complained about how hard I was working at correcting something, she said, Allah loves you too much to let you let it go just yet.
And for this sister, I pray Allah makes it easy for her tongue and her heart, and I pray that Allah helps her memorize the rest of the Qur'an with ease.
I am in awe of the sisters I have met on this journey. Mothers, grandmothers, wives, teachers, students, workers, business owners, housewives...
May Allah grant us all tawfeek.
آمين يا رب ❤️
Meanwhile, anyone else cries when they are reading to their teacher sometimes? I am just asking for a friend 🧡

Jazakumllah Khairan for this beautiful reminder.
I cry when reciting to my teacher at times, especially when I keep making mistakes.
I remember at the beginning of my hifdh journey when I had to relearn makharijul huruf and it felt like something was wrong with my mouth and tongue cause I kept pronouncing the wrong thing. And I'd cry and cry and feel so bad about it.
Alhamdulillah I'm better at it now.
And I've realized that it's all part of the journey.
Allahuma bareek! This is beautiful and the reminder I needed today. Jazakillah khayr and may Allah make it easy for us on the journey of memorizing His book ❤️
