Ramadan, the Qur’an, and Us

Your Daily Dose: Thoughts on the Qur’an

Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala – exalted is He) says, “Will they not ponder over the Qur’an?” (Qur’an, 47:24).

Returning to the Qur’an

The relationship between us and the Qur’an is undoubtedly of great importance; therefore, it is strange that it is this relationship which we often neglect.
