Why do we listen to Quran Lectures, even we can't remember everything?

A Masjid (Mosque) goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and
complained that it made no sense to go to Masjid (Mosque). "I've gone
for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something
like 3,000 Lectures. But for the life of me, I can't remember asingle
one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Imams are wasting
theirs by giving Lectures at all."
This started a real controversy in the"Letters to the Editor" column,
much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone
wrote this clincher.
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked
some32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire
menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this:They all
nourished me and gave me the strengthI needed to do my work. If my
wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I had not gone to Masjid (Mosque) for nourishment, I
would be spiritually dead today!"
When you are DOWN to nothing.... Allah (SWT)is UP to something! Faith
sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the
impossible! Thank Allah (SWT) for our physical AND our spiritual
nourishment!

Biographies - Daughter of Namrud

Namrud was the oppressive king who threw Ibrahim (A.S.) into the fire.
His daughter, Ru'dah, was watching the scene from above. She noticed
that the fire was having no effect on Ibrahim (A.S.). She shouted and
asked him the reason for this.
Ibrahim (A.S.) replied: " Allahhas saved me from this calamity through
the blessing of iman."
She replied: "If you permit me, I will also come into the fire."
He replied: "Recite Lâ ilâha illallâhu Ibrahim khalîlullâh
(translation: There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Ibrahim
is the close friend of Allah).
She recited this kalimah and immediately dived into the fire. The fire
had no effect on her as well. She then came out of the fire and went
and rebuked and censured her father. He subjected her to great
difficulties but she remained steadfast on her iman.
Lesson: Glory be to Allah! How courageous she wasthat she did not
abandonher iman even when in difficulty! O women! You should also be
strong-willed at the time of difficulties and do not actcontrary to
the Deen even if it equals a hair's breadth.
