During Ramadan we all try to up our game by reading the Quran more. However, for many of us, as much as we want the Quran to transform our lives, it just looks like squiggles and dots!
Last weekend, at my annual Quran For Busy People event, I explained that If you want the Quran to become a source of true inspiration and transformation in your life, you need 3 things:
1. The Daily Quran Habit
If you don’t study the Quran on a regular basis, you won’t know it well enough for it to have any relevance or impact on your life. You don’t have to study it for hours every day – a few minutes will do the trick. I recommend starting with 5 minutes, then building up to 11, 15, 17 and eventually 25 minutes a day.
2. A Strategic Quran Plan
There are over a dozen different ways you can study the Quran. You can just read an english translation, recite the Arabic script without understanding it, learn the Arabic language, learn the rules of accurate recitation, listen to it, go through a tafsir (exegesis) and so on. When you start getting into it, this can all be quite overwhelming, as each of these methods of studying it is an endless ocean. You need a strategic plan that logically lays out what to start with, how long to study that area for, and what to move onto next.
3. The Inside-Out Method of Transformation
The Quran says, “Allah will not change the state of a people, until they change, within themselves.” I firmly believe that the Inside-Out is this ‘inner change’ that the Quran is talking about. It’s a methodology of personal change that is has lead me and many others to much richer, deeper and more rewarding experience of reading of the Quran. It’s explained in the context of Islamic spirituality in my book, “Inside the Soul of Islam”.
If you want in-depth training in all 3 of these areas so that you deepen your relationship with the Quran, so that it ultimate transforms your life, and becomes your personal coach, check out the Quran For Busy People program, which I’m making available as part of The Ocean if you join today:
