Ramadan from the eye of a Hafidh?
Protect the Huffadh
by Hafidh Hamza Ghia
When you hear someone having an issue with a Hafidh leading at your masjid or a Huffadh making too many mistakes speak up and defend them. Any who leads taraweeh can tell you how much effort and time it takes to get yourself prepared for leading. It doesn’t matter if your leading in the biggest of masjid with thousands of people or in your own home. The struggle is real. Especially for those who are new and don’t have much experience. I am blessed to have many students lead at different places, and I myself can testify when I first started leading how nerve breaking, and stressful it was. One kid who is leading just two rakahs, maybe 2 to 3 pages, recites those pages approximately 30 to 40 times. That is equivalent to almost 4 Juz. Imagine if they’re reciting half a Juz. They are reading non stop throughout the day and night to perfect those pages. Between prayers, while they’re laying down, during iftaar, after iftaar, before taraweeh, and even after taraweeh.
Basic principle in life that is always learned, if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it at all. If something is constantly bothering you, then talk to the person with a clean heart and nice words that can encourage them to improve.
May Allah accept and make us from the people of the Quran. May He allow us to understand it and implement its verses in our lives. Ameen.
