This video documents a graduation ceremony at Masjid DarusSalam, celebrating students completing various Islamic studies programs: Tahfiz (Quran memorization), Tanwir (intensive Islamic studies), and Takmil (advanced Islamic studies). The video includes speeches from graduating students, parents, and instructors, reflecting on the students' journeys and the importance of Quranic and Islamic education.
The Significance of Quranic Memorization: The video emphasizes the immense blessings and spiritual rewards associated with memorizing the Quran (Hifz). A story about the Prophet Muhammad's companion experiencing angelic presence during Quran recitation highlights the Baraka (blessings) of this practice.
Challenges and Perseverance in Hifz: The speakers acknowledge the difficulties of the Hifz program, particularly the extended online learning period during the COVID-19 pandemic. They stress the importance of perseverance, consistency, and a strong will to succeed.
Parental Involvement and Support: The role of parents in supporting their children's Hifz journeys is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of encouragement, creating a conducive learning environment, and fostering a love for the Quran from a young age.
Holistic Education: Masjid DarusSalam's Hifz program is presented as a holistic approach, incorporating not just memorization but also character development, Islamic studies, and community engagement. The importance of revision and retention is also stressed.
The Importance of Hadith and its Study: A significant portion of the video is devoted to a discussion on the importance of Hadith (the Prophet Muhammad's sayings and actions) as a vital source of Islamic teachings, alongside the Quran. The speakers address the issue of Hadith rejection by some groups and emphasize the meticulous approach of Imam Bukhari in compiling his authentic collection of Hadith.
