How To Fall In Love With The Quran...continued

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Falling in love with the Quran means you will not want to leave it. You make the Quran your companion in this life and the Quran will be your companion in your graves, will intercede for you and be a witness for you in the Day of Judgment.

How to fall in love with the Quran?

Engage your senses:

Engage your senses in exploring the contents of the Quran. Feel when you read, and ponder the verses. You should have a feeling of trembling when you come across the verses of warnings, happiness when you read the verses of glad tidings, and sadness when you hear about the torments. If you can feel the Quran, then you will fall more in love with it.

Search and search:

Search for more facts from the Quran. The more you search, the more beautiful and inspiring verses you will come across. Write down the verses and your thoughts if necessary. You will soon learn how the Quran wisely holds the truth.

Memorize:

Memorize the verses that interest you. The more you memorize, the more interested you will become until eventually you will wish to memorize the whole Quran.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ﴿١٧

And We have certainly made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? [Quran, Al-Qamar 54: 17]

Include it in your prayers:

You can recite the verses you memorized in your five daily prayers. You can also include the verses in your supplications.

Don’t think of the Quran as just a book of prayer:

If you view the Quran as just a book of prayer, your love will be limited and it will be based upon selfishness. So observe the Quran from different angles, for example as a book of prayer, a book of guidance, a book of justice, a book of legislation, or a book of science. The more you observe it from different perspectives, the more you will fall in love with it.

May Allah make us deeply in love with the Quran. O Allah, allow the Quran to be our close companion in this life, in our graves a comforting friend, a light on the Sirat, an intercession at the time of resurrection, our companion in Jannah. Make it a protection and barricade between us and the hellfire.

Aameen.
