Summary: In this talk Br. Faraz emphasizes the importance of our obligation to the book of God. He discusses our duties as Muslims and how it is essential for the believers to ask Allah (swt) for forgiveness and guidance to the straight path that Allah is pleased with.
Br. Faraz opens with the question, ‘How do we attain success?’ and answers, ‘Seek guidance in the book of God.’ I thought to myself – so simple! Allah has made the Qur’an simple to understand as His message is for all places, all time and for all people.
The speech highlighted 4 obligations regarding our duties to the Qur’an :
1. Read the book
2. Understand it
3. Take the message and apply it in life
4. Spread to humanity
Personally, I feel it is important that all of these obligations are noted because the responsibility goes beyond just reading the Qur’an. It is about internalizing the words, implementing what I learn and sharing the knowledge with others. I believe that this talk serves as a continual reminder that for those who obey God and His message, it is for their own betterment of success in the world and the after. It is not only to recite the book of God, but to apply the aforementioned obligations that Br. Faraz states. In my opinion, this is the road to ultimate success in life.
The topic reminded me of the following hadith where the Prophet (s) said:

“Shall I tell you who are the best among you?...The best of you are those who when seen are a means of God being brought to mind.” (Al-Tirmdhi).
