Fajr Thoughts: Juz 11
How is your faith?
In the name of Allah, the Entirely merciful, the Especially Merciful.
وَإِذَا مَا أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَٰذِهِ إِيمَانًا ۚ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَزَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ١٢٤
And whenever a surah is revealed, there are among the hypocrites those who say, "Which of you has this increased faith?" As for those who believed, it has increased them in faith, while they are rejoicing. [Qur’an 9:124]
To the Believer, every new aspect of Allah's truth as revealed, increases his faith, and wonder, and gratitude. He rejoices, because it brings one so close to Allah ﷻ.
The transformation by the Qur'an is so beautiful, profound even and increases in all that is good. Notice the people who are around you when you feel your best and these days it could be a lot of online company too.
How can you nurture such relationships?
- Revive a sunnah and give gifts
- Make du’a - even if it was a stranger in a strange land who you are not even sure is alive today, they can benefit from your du’a. No one can have too many duas.
Think: What impact does the Qur’an have on me?
How are you when the Qur’an is recited?
What do you need to do to take a step towards “more” with the Qur’an?
If you feel brave enough, do share in the comments or hit reply.
May Allah ﷻ grant us all Noor in our hearts and increase our faith. Amin!
Maybe there are some good places online and offline that you have found, invite people to them, so others can benefit from them In Sha'a Allah.
I prepared a small guidebook for anyone who wants to make tadabbur one small part of their day. It has one ayah from each juz, some notes from various tafasir (all referenced), and personal reflection questions. Allow the Qur'an transform you.
1. The Impact the Qur’an has on me is making my life better, want to live, learn and practice to its teaching in shaa Allah
2. When the Qur’an is recited it makes me want to reach the height where every verse recited I know the translation (hungry to learn more), those I know it makes me humble and make me realize how Allah is Majestic in his creation also how fickle this life is especially hearing stories of our past predecessors. How “Man” is astray if you dont know the Qur’an.
3. To take step towards “more” with the Qur’an is continuing reading with better tajweed, reading translation, listening to tafsirs, joining gatherings or circles where Qur’aan will be taught. Listening to various scholars(authentic ones) about each Juz.
Allahumma ‘jalna min ahlil Qur’aan.
