π Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.) – The Voice of the Qur’an π✨
π Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.)
The Voice of the Qur’an π✨
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.) was one of the most knowledgeable companions of Prophet Muhammad ο·Ί — a man of deep faith, pure heart, and an unmatched connection with the Qur’an. The Prophet ο·Ί himself said that if anyone wanted to hear the Qur’an as it was revealed, they should listen to Ibn Mas’ud (R.A.).
π Early Life and Acceptance of Islam
Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.) came from a humble background and worked as a shepherd in Makkah. One day, as he was tending sheep, Prophet Muhammad ο·Ί and Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A.) approached him, asking for some milk. From that moment, Ibn Mas’ud’s life changed forever — his heart opened to Islam, and he became one of its earliest followers.
“I was the sixth man to accept Islam.” – Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.)
He left everything behind — comfort, safety, and status — for the love of Allah and His Messenger ο·Ί.
π The First to Recite the Qur’an Aloud in Makkah
One day, while Islam was still new and secret, Ibn Mas’ud (R.A.) stood in front of the Kaaba and began to recite the Qur’an loudly, declaring Allah’s words for all to hear. The Quraysh were furious and attacked him, beating him severely, but he did not stop.
“By Allah, I will do it again tomorrow.” – Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.)
He became the **first person to recite the Qur’an publicly in Makkah**, showing his fearless faith and devotion to Allah.
π The Close Companion of the Prophet ο·Ί
Ibn Mas’ud (R.A.) was so close to the Prophet ο·Ί that he was known as **the keeper of his secrets**. He would carry the Prophet’s sandals, prepare his miswak, and accompany him wherever he went. The Prophet ο·Ί once said:
“Whoever wants to read the Qur’an as it was revealed, let him recite as Ibn Mas’ud recites.” – Prophet Muhammad ο·Ί
He learned directly from the Prophet ο·Ί and became one of the **greatest teachers of the Qur’an** in Islamic history.
π His Knowledge and Wisdom
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.) was among the top scholars of Islam. His understanding of the Qur’an, fiqh (Islamic law), and sunnah was so deep that even the great companions like Umar (R.A.) and Uthman (R.A.) respected his opinions.
When Islam spread beyond Arabia, he went to Kufa (in Iraq) and became a teacher for thousands of students — including many who later became scholars of the Qur’an and Hadith.
π️ His Humility and Death
Despite his great knowledge, Ibn Mas’ud (R.A.) lived a simple and humble life. He never sought power or fame. When he passed away in Madinah, Hazrat Uthman (R.A.) led his funeral prayer. The Prophet ο·Ί had already promised him a place in **Jannah** for his faith and devotion.
πΊ Legacy and Lessons
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.) taught the world that **true greatness lies in knowledge, sincerity, and love for Allah**. He was a man whose voice made hearts tremble with the words of the Qur’an and whose life was a living example of what it means to serve Allah with full dedication.
“Be content with what Allah has given you, and you will be the richest of people.” – Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.)
π Final Message
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (R.A.) was not just a companion — he was a **light for generations**, a teacher of faith, and a man whose recitation of the Qur’an continues to inspire hearts even today.
Indeed, he was **the Voice of the Qur’an π and the Heart of the Believers π.**
