Qurʾān Journey

To my readers, Salāmun ʿalaykum!

Welcome back to our Qurʾān Journey! Today, I’d like to share with you a simple but powerful step in deepening our connection with the Qurʾān: Tabbing your Qurʾān.

At first, it might seem like a long process, but trust me—it’s a rewarding one! As you go through and label each sūrah, you’ll naturally start recognizing their names and order. This simple act helps you internalize the structure of the Qurʾān, making it easier to navigate and build familiarity.

Here is how you can tab your Qurʾān.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ

Certainly We have made the Qurʾān simple for the sake of admonishment.
So is there anyone who will be admonished?  (54:17)

To my readers, Salāmun ʿalaykum!

Welcome back to our Qurʾān Journey! As we continue to embark on this path of discovery and connection with His Divine Word, it is essential to have the right tools. Today’s post shares the practical side of Journaling – having the supplies that make this journey meaningful and deepening our understanding through reliable resources. With the right tools and the right guidance, our journey will be so enriching!

Inshāʿallāh you have now completed the first three steps of this journey!

In summary, the first post covered:

1. Setting an Intention
2. Finding your Qurʾān
3. Setting Time aside for your Qurʾān

What comes next?

…تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ

…These are the verses of the Book, rich in wisdom. (10:1)

To my readers, Salāmun ʿalaykum!

Welcome to my first post about my Journey with the Noble Qurʾān. Not too long ago, I too was looking for guidance on how to begin my Journey with the Divine Book. My heart was yearning for more; beyond reciting Juz upon Juz and Surah upon Surah without understanding what I was reciting!

Congratulations! The fact that you are here, reading this post, shows there is a spark in your heart too, urging you to find your inspiration, and I want to help you.

My own journey is new and very recent; but it is one that has given me an inner strength amidst the challenges that I face. With each passing day, as I read the words of my beloved Creator, I feel inspired to strive for His pleasure and grow closer to Him. 

The word of God not only touches the heart; it zaps through every fibre of your being; it is a healing. Allah (swt) reminds us of this when He says:‘ ‘And We send down in the Qur’an such things that are a healing and a mercy to those who believe…’ (17:82).

You’ll soon come to realise that the Qurʾān is rooting for you; for you to find your path in reaching nearer to the One who Loves us most. Each time you sit with the Noble Book you’ll feel a richer experience and this journey will nurture your soul, heal your heart, and guide you.

Step-by-step, we can journey together; sharing what we learn, so that we can lift each other up.

Let us begin!
