Bismillah,
Assalaamu ‘alaykum
“And We have indeed made the Qur’aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any one who will remember (or receive admonition)?” [54:17]
Welcome to Fee Qalbee, a unique blog dedicated to inspiring Muslim women to memorize Al Qur’aan. Our aim is to instill love and ambition within each Muslimah, making tahfeedhul Qur’aan an integral part of her spiritual quest for His Divine Pleasure. We utilize textual, audio, and visual information to support this blessed journey.
Our Mission
In addition to providing educational resources, we strive to create a global support network for Muslimahs worldwide. This platform is a space to share experiences, challenges, memories, and advice on memorizing Al Qur’aan.
My Journey
My personal journey towards learning Al Qur’aan began at a tender young age in Europe. The phenomenal sacrifices of my loving mother and the strong support of my dear father (May Allah bless them abundantly and grant them the highest abodes in Paradise, Ameen!) played a significant role in my journey. My wonderful husband, sisters, friends, teachers, and scholars continue to be sources of inspiration and progress, Alhamdulillah. I hope to journal and share my experiences as both a student and teacher, eternally grateful to Allah, The Lord of the worlds: Alhamdulillahi bi ni’mati hi tatimmus-saalihaat!
Why ‘Fee Qalbee’?
“Those who knew Qur’aan by heart shall be the leaders among the dwellers of Paradise.” [At-Tabaraani]
All praise is due to Allah Ta’ala, who blessed us with Al Qur’aan: The Sacred, Noble Book. Its beautiful verses are like the thread from which the substance of our souls are woven. Abundant salutations be upon our beloved teacher and role model, the first Haafidh of Al Qur’aan, Sayyidinaa Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), whose entire life represented the Qur’aanic model.
Hifdh and the Heart
As I’ve often reminded myself and my students, there is a simple equation that illustrates the significance of the heart in relation to memorizing Al Qur’aan:
Hifdh + Heart = Heedfulness (of Al Qur’aan)
The heart of a believer is unique. A true believer acknowledges that while she is gifted to preserve the Mighty Words in her heart, she must also understand and implement their wisdom and value in her life. I strongly believe that preserving its verses and applying its teachings lead to a profound revolution of the spiritual heart by the Mercy of Allah.
Our Dua
We beseech Allah Most High to bless us with sincere, conscious, repentant, and believing hearts that surrender to His Commands, Ameen! May we personify the beauty of Al Qur’aan with our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls:
“Those who listen to the Word and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.” [39:18]
In pursuit of Allah’s Pleasure,
Al-Haafitha Rayhaanah
