My Dear Brothers & Sisters!
Are You One Of Those People Who Rarely Touches The Quran? Or Do You Read Daily,
But Don't Find It Is Having The Impact On You That It Should? Whatever The Case
May Be, These Are Some Simple Tips That Can Help You Connect With The Quran.
1. Before You Touch It, Check Your Heart:-The Key To Really Benefiting From The
Quran Is To Check Your Heart First, Before You Even Touch Allah's
Book. Ask Yourself, Honestly, Why You Are Reading It.Is It To Just Get Some
Information And To Let It Drift Away From You Later? Remember That The Prophet
Muhammad (Peace And Blessings Be Upon Him) Was Described By His Wife As A
"Walking Quran": In Other Words, He Didn't Just Read And Recite The Quran, He
Lived It.
2. Do Your Wudu (Ablution):-Doing Your Wudu Is Good Physical And Mental
Preparation To Remind You You're Not Reading Just Another Book. You Are About To
Interact With God, So Being Clean Should Be A Priority When Communicating With
Him.
3. Read Only 5 Minutes Everyday:-Too Often, We Think We Should Read Quran For At
Least One Whole Hour. If You Aren't In The Habit Of Reading
Regularly, This Is Too Much. Start Off With Just Five Minutes Daily. If You Took
Care Of Step One, Inshallah (God Willing), You Will Notice That Those Five
Minutes Will Become Ten, Then Half An Hour, Then An Hour, And Maybe Even More!
4. Make Sure You Understand What You've Read:-Five Minutes Of Reading The Quran
In Arabic Is Good,But You Need To Understand What You're Reading. Make Sure You
Have A Good Translation Of The Quran In The Language You Understand Best. Always
Try To Read The Translation Of What You've Read That Day .
5. Remember, The Quran Is More Interactive Than A Cd:-In An Age Of "Interactive"
Cd-Roms And Computer Programs, A Number Of People Think Books Are Passive And
Boring. But The Quran Is Not Like That. Remember That When You Read Quran, You
Are Interacting With Allah. He Is Talking To You, So Pay Attention.
6. Don't Just Read, Listen Too:-There Are Now Many Audio Cassettes And Cds Of
The Quran, A Number Of Them With Translations As Well.This Is Great To Put On
Your Walkman Or Your Car's Cd Or Stereo As You Drive To And From Work. Use This
In Addition To Your Daily Quran Reading, Not As A
Replacement For It.
7. Make Dua (Supplication):-Ask Allah To Guide You When You Read The Quran. Your
Aim Is To Sincerely, For The Love Of Allah, Interact With Him By Reading,
Understanding And Applying His Blessed Words. Making Dua To Allah For Help And
Guidance Will Be Your Best Tool For Doing This.
It's My Request To Everyone Just Pray For Every Muslim That Allah Will Give Us
Tofique To Implements These Tips In Our Life. Ameen
