Qur'an & tafsirFrom the masjid's own video, Mar 3, 2026.
Make time for the Quran every day
“Put the phone down and touch the Quran more than you touch the cell phone.”
In one sentence
The Qur'an gives believers dignity, guidance, blessing, and great reward, so they should build a regular relationship with it and express that faith by benefiting others.

- Uses a hadith to emphasize benefiting others and relieving hardship.
- Shares examples of school staff whose consistent recitation brought barakah.

Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others.”
“If you want to have that Barakah, recite the Quran in the house. Instead of scrolling up and down these days in social media.”
“Put the phone down and touch the Quran more than you touch the cell phone.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The sermon teaches that the Qur'an gives us guidance, mercy, blessing, dignity, and hope for a great reward. Shaykh Hassan encourages everyone, not only those who memorize, to recite and understand a little Qur'an regularly. He also reminds us that Allah loves people who benefit others and relieve their difficulties. Families are encouraged to recite Qur'an at home and make more room for it by putting down their phones. The gathering closes with prayers and a reminder to support the mosque.
- What is one way our family could bring more Qur'an into our home this week?
- Who could we help or encourage today?
- What phone habit could we change to make room for recitation?
