Abu Taubah – Learning Arabic and Tajweed

About this lecture

In this lecture delivered in Sri Lanka, Abu Taubah makes a passionate case for why every Muslim must prioritize reading the Qur'an daily and learning the Arabic language, tracing the deliberate colonial effort to sever Muslim communities from Arabic as a means of spiritual and intellectual colonization. He offers practical, step-by-step guidance on how to build a daily Qur'an reading habit — starting with just 30 minutes and 10 pages a day — and explains the foundations of tajweed as the perfecting of each letter and knowing where to stop. Drawing on Qur'anic verses, hadith, and the example of the Sahabah, he challenges his audience to reclaim their time, guard against heedlessness, and recognize that one's station in Jannah itself is tied to one's relationship with the Qur'an.
