Majlis Khatam Quran

Let us learn something from the muslim scholar and companion of our Rasullulah s.a.w. Also known as the learned man of the Ummah,the sahabah I referred to is Abdullah Ibn Abbas.One of his  noted amalan is to attend Majlis Khatam Quran.The benefits to be present at such a gathering is manifolds.According to one Hadith,there will be 70,000 malaikat in attendance as well.

By the way,so far this year I have not attended any yet.What a pity.But how could I attend if no one invited me? One of the way is to hold one at my house. To do that,one of my family members has to khatam Quran at least once a year if I want to ensure that at least I would be able to attend the Majlis once a year.The other way is to form a group among my friends who read and khatam Quran at least once a year-the more the better.Assuming that I could get three persons,then my family and me can attend the Majlis at least three times a year.That is much better than none at all.

Lately ,I have posted an invitation to my alumni mailinglist.So far two have given me  positive responses.You can do the same among your friends.Why not form a group so that everyone  must khatam Quran at least once a year and then you can attend a few times of Majlis Khatam Quran. Just imagine the rahmat from Allah swt if I could hold a Majlis Khatam Quran once in year at my house. Not only that we can promote and encourage our family members and friends to read the Holy Quran.

To khatam Quran, we must read the Quran. If we as parents can show good examples,most probably,our children will follow our good deeds,insyaAllah.

" When the Quran is read, listen to it with attention,                   and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy. "  Quran                   7:204

Due to time constraint and workload, I only manage to qatam quran only once in 2 yrs.
My Father in law does it several times in a year! But I think more importantly is to read and understand its meaning. Thank you for this Friday tazkirah!

DrRoza,
Once every two years is very good compared to once in the last 20 years!
A few months ago,I asked my friend whether he khatam Quran last year.He replied no.Then I asked how about the last 5 years.He looked to me and shaked his head sideways...and then I saw tears in his eyes...

[drroza]

I think this is truly rare nowadays: a friend asking another whether he has khatam the Quran and the friend reduced to tears ...

last sekali saya khatam quran masa kecik dulu, lepas tu dah tak ingat biler habis baca. sedih plak rasanya. sekarang ni, saya hanya dengar mp3 al quran sahaja.

Thank you Abedib for the reminder. Sometimes we got 'confused' of what should be our priority. :)

KNizam,
why not set a target to khatam Quran at least once next year?
Honeytar,
The things that are important and urgent get our priority,right?If we neglect reading and understanding Quran,the answer is obvious.It is better we take some time to realign our life priorities from time to time.

As what I now, the easiest way to get "rahmah" from the Majlis Khatam Quran is during musim org kawin. We as a guest/ relatives can take this opportunity (rahmah) to sit & listen say about 20-30 minutes only or more...insya Allah. For me, my last khatam quran was during last Ramadhan, alhamdulillah...

Assalamu alaikum,
I came across the following link and all lectures are quite good. One of them mentioned of the "Khatam of the Quran". Needs to click under "Media" section (right hand side on the page).

A'kum to all,
There is an online Quran comes with meaning - easy to explore all Surahs. I purchased that book in K.L sometimes back in 2004. Hope you all enjoy reading it. InsyaAllah.

A Muslim should have learn Quran. When a person finish Quran first time then you must have to congratulate him/her. Spread some sweets in people. Then that person should try to live his/her life under the Quran light.

Quran is a book of God. saved in it's orignal text.Any one who reads it to seak guidance will be granted. If we learn Arabic language we can understand Quran text and do not have look for the translation.

[Quran Teacher]

It is good to finish reading Quran once every year. as prophet (pbuh) used to recite whole Holy Quran to angel Jibrael in month of Ramadan.
