'It isn't about how far you have reached in the Quran, it's about how far the Quran has reached in you'
I read this today and it reminded me of the importance of reflecting upon the Quran and allowing its message to transform our hearts.

This quote by Imam Al-Ghazali reminds me of the verses that tell us to reflect upon the Quran and upon Allah's creation:
'Those who look for seashells will find seashells; those who open them will find pearls.'
Imam Al-Ghazali
A seashell by itself is a beautiful thing. But a pearl is something that is both beautiful, precious, and holds great value.
If we read a verse of the Quran, we will get the reward of reading the Quran, insha'Allah. B...See more

I asked myself, what are some reasons that people are not so excited about reading and reflecting on the Quran?
Well, here's one answer that came to my mind.
One of the tricks of Shaytan is to make us think that if we can at least just do the bare minimum, then we are okay and we will make it to Paradise.
For example, to really convince us about that, the Shaytan will whisper in our heads:
'You have so many things to do. You have a job to...See more

The idea of a locked up heart in this ayah makes me think of Surah Al-Fatihah: 'The Opening'.
I used to think that it's called Al-Fatihah simply because it's the opening chapter of the Quran and I didn't give it much thought beyond that. I read this and found it very interesting (It's part of the tafseer by Imam Maududi):
'...It becomes clear that the real relation between Al-Fatihah and the Quran is not that of an introduction to a book but t...See more

I was watching a nature documentary, and it was about hummingbirds. The documentary's title is 'The Hummingbird Effect,' and it also showcases other animals that benefit from and live in harmony with these birds.
One thing that fascinated me is that there is an intricate and co-evolving relationship between the hummingbirds and the flowers that they pollinate. Co-evolution means that changes in one species can lead to adaptive changes in anothe...See more

When the verses of Allah are recited, the first part of the body that goes into a state of submission is the heart, and then the rest of the body follows.
Allah says in Surah Al-Anfaal:
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

The suffocation of asthmatic individuals is painful when they struggle to gasp for air. My sister is asthmatic and whenever she uses her inhaler, it reminds me of her encounter with a doctor. He instructed her how to use the inhaler properly — but it is not as straightforward as a lot of people would assume. To clarify, he advised her of some effective breathing techniques while using the inhaler. As such, the medicine would not remain in her mo...See more

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
The Qur’an regulates human emotion. It, asks one to exercise both patience and trust, it allows one to cry, but not to get too angry unless it is for Allah. No other Book regulates human emotion better than the Qur’an. Also, if the heart is pure, it will achieve a better state of mind, clarity and focus. Thus, it is important to constantly and consistently work on the heart.

I work in a research lab and study learning science. One of the most fascinating things I’ve learned is that reflection is critical to learning and essential for achieving mastery and change.
