I want to know and to understand, to cherish and to behold, to implement and be able to teach the most sublime word of Allah. How can I have a conversation with Allah if I don’t listen to what He says to me, (awj)? How can I expect — no how can I even hope…
Quran Dream #19
I want to be so immersed with the words of Ar-Rahman, that EVERY moment of my life, I remember Allah, to myself within my heart, and softly outside; so that I may be of those whom Allah remembers and speaks about to the Angels. For the words of Ar-Raheem to penetrate my heart so that every…
Quran Dream #18
I dream of being from the special people of Allah, who’ve memorised His Book and teach it to the people daily. I dream of my character reflecting that of the Qur’an: to be soft, gentle and humble in my nature. I envisage my life to revolving around the Qur’an, I recite it in the last…
Quran Dream #17
I wake up in the morning and say a truthful dua, witnessing Allah as our only Rabb (Lord, Provider, Guardian, Sustainer) with a thirst in my heart for reflecting on His ayat. His Highest Word has become the fuel for the energy that drives my day. It no longer matters to me how many times I ask for…

I want my inside to be fully tapped in to the Truth, fully…
Quran Dream #14
My relationship with the Qur’an is one that makes me feel alive; every day. It is like a warm blanket; soft, comforting, and yet reminds me of its protective nature against the fierce reality of the cold. That cold has the potential to freeze me into a state of heedlessness, sin, and disbelief. However, the…
Announcing ‘The Best of Stories’ // 6-Week Quran Journaling Challenge
When I think back to the couple of months since Ramadan – when I was teaching Points to Ponder and Ramadan Reflections – there’s no better feeling than gathering together to study, understand and connect with the Book of Allah. Unfortunately, it’s a feeling we haven’t had as a group since the end…
Quran Dream #13
My perfect relationship with the Quran would basically be for me to be a very good person. Extremely kind, understanding, patient, yet assertive and confident. I could teach my children and they would follow in my footsteps. Everything would feel easy and…
Quran Dream #12
My ideal relationship with the Qu’ran would be that I have a connection with Allah (swt) that brings me more comfort than I’ve ever known. Whilst I say my purpose as a Muslim is to worship Allah (awj) alone, I know that I can’t even come close to that without feeling a true connection…
