Ramadan: A Journey of Faith, Fasting, and Reflection (21)

 Strengthening Your Connection with the Quran

Ramadan Series

The Quran holds a central place in Ramadan, known as the month in which the Quran was revealed. It’s a time to reconnect with its timeless message, deepen our understanding, and let it guide us through life’s challenges.


The Quran and Ramadan: An Eternal Bond

Allah says in the Quran:

The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185)

This verse highlights the profound connection between fasting and the Quran. Ramadan provides a sacred opportunity to focus on this divine gift, not just as a book to recite but as a guide to live by.


3 Ways to Reconnect with the Quran

  1. Recitation with Reflection

    • Dedicate time each day to recite the Quran with understanding. Even a few verses with reflection can leave a lasting impact.
    • Use a trusted translation or tafsir (exegesis) to uncover the deeper meanings of the verses.
  2. Incorporate the Quran into Your Prayers

    • During your daily salah and Taraweeh prayers, focus on the verses being recited.
    • Let the words of Allah resonate in your heart and inspire your actions.
  3. Apply Its Teachings in Your Life

    • Choose one lesson from the Quran each day and actively incorporate it into your behavior.
    • For example, if the verse emphasizes kindness, make it a point to perform acts of kindness that day.

A Reflection to Inspire You

The Prophet ﷺ said:

The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5027)

This hadith reminds us that engaging with the Quran not only elevates us spiritually but also allows us to share its wisdom with others.
