﷽

All praise is Allah. Lord of mercy. Giver of mercy.

This Ramadan my goal was to read the Quran in English from cover to cover and Alhamdulilah I have accomplished this.

I decided to read the translation because I saw many people join Islam and start with the Quran. I couldn’t help but think to myself, I have been a Muslim my whole life and yet I haven’t even bothered to understand Allah’s message to me.

Alhamdulilah, this goal has only increased my love for Allah swt. As a born Muslim I expected the Quran to be mainly about rules and regulations. Reading about Allah’s mercy and love for His creation was a pleasant surprise.

وَهَـٰذَا كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ مُبَارَكٌۭ فَٱتَّبِعُوهُ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

This, too, is a blessed Scripture which We have sent down- follow it and be conscious your Lord, so that you may receive mercy [6:155]

The Quran is a gift from the Most High. I’am forever grateful.

Inshallah in upcoming posts I’ll share a few of my reflections.

Peace & blessings upon the Nabi of Allah.
