✧ “Rejoice! Do you not testify that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?” They said: “Yes.” He ﷺ said: “This Qur’an is a rope, one end of it is in the hand of Allah, the Exalted, and the other end is in your hands. So hold fast to it, for you will never go astray or perish after it, ever.” [Marfu‘]
