How often do we reflect on the Quran?
Every morning, as we pull ourselves out of bed and step into a new day, we’re driven by countless ambitions. We aim to earn more, love deeper, and maybe even catch a little more joy in this world. We work, eat, socialize, and rest, only to repeat it all over again. It seems like we are all caught in the same current, pursuing happiness and comfort, hoping to fill our lives with meaning.
But how often do we stop to ponder if we are truly living with purpose? How often do we lift our Quran with the intention to understand what Allah has commanded us to do? How often we reflect on the verses of Quran and connect it to our day to day affairs.
See Quran notes
The Quran is not just a book like other book. It is a book given to us as a mercy from Allah swt. When we read Quran we will be rewarded. We will be rewarded for every letter we read but equally important is to read with understanding. Quran is the divine guidance from our Creator. We often find ourselves mesmerized by its rhythmic verses, and while the act of recitation carries immense rewards, it is crucial to remember that the Quran was sent to us with a message—a message to reflect upon and live by.
Consider this: reciting the Quran without understanding its message is like reading a letter without grasping its contents. We might appreciate the handwriting or the paper, but the essence—the reason it was sent—is lost. The Quran invites us to delve deeper, to explore its commands, and to implement them in our daily lives.
Reflect on the Quran
Allah SWT tells us in the Quran: “Do they not reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts?” (Muhammad, 47:24). This is a reminder for us to open our hearts and minds, to go beyond the words and seek the wisdom hidden within.
Reflecting on the Quran requires patience and a sincere intention to understand what Allah SWT wants from us. It is about pausing at a verse, pondering its implications, and letting its light guide our thoughts and actions. The Quran addresses every aspect of life, offering insights on how to navigate our challenges and reminding us of our ultimate purpose.
Living by the Quran’s teachings transforms us. It brings clarity to our intentions and aligns our actions with divine will. When we sincerely attempt to understand and apply the commands of Allah SWT, we find ourselves moving from mere existence to truly living—living a life that pleases our Creator and brings us peace.
In this fast-paced world, take a moment to sit with the Quran, not just to recite it but to reflect on its profound message. Ask yourself: How does this verse relate to my life? What change can I make today that aligns with Allah’s guidance?
Let the Quran be your companion in this journey. Its wisdom is timeless, its guidance unparalleled. Let it shape your heart and actions, for in doing so, you not only earn the rewards of recitation but also fulfill the very purpose of its revelation.
So, as you hold the Quran, remember it’s more than a book to be read. It’s a message from Allah SWT, inviting you to live with purpose and intention. Reflect on it, understand it, and let it transform your life.
