How To Fall In Love With The Quran

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Falling in love with the Quran is not loving to hear a particular reciter(s) of the Quran. It is loving the Divine Speech and making it paramount.

The most beautiful reciter among you is he whose recital makes you feel that this person is fearing Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. [Ibn Majah]

How to fall in love with the Quran?

Think:

Carve out some time in your schedule and relax. Think of your life and the hereafter. Think of the attachment you have for the Quran and think about what can you do in order to fall in love with it. Make a list.

Implement:

Take this list and put it in practice. To start out, read at least a page from the Quran each day, and gradually increase it to a juz or two a day. If this is too difficult for now, start out by reading a few verses after each prayer. Don’t worry if you can’t read, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: Verily the one who recites the Quran beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have twice that reward.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

Understand:

Just reciting isn’t enough. You need to know the meaning of what you are reciting. If you aren’t good at Arabic, pick a translation in your language and have it at your side when reciting. Trying to understand what you are reciting is a key factor to increase your love for the Quran.  At the same time start learning the language of the Quran.

To be continued...

May Allah grant us a sound understanding of the Quran and make us His chosen people of the Quran. Aameen.
