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 Quran describes itself as a "blessed Book," a book that is filled with blessings (barakah), but Allah doesn't specifically mention in what sense it is a blessed Book.
In a khutbah that I heard recently, a shaykh mentioned that the unspecified nature of the blessings of the Quran implies that its blessings is not just limited to the ajr (the rewards), but that it touches upon every facet of our lives, including our mental and physical well-be...See more

#Knowledge, #Purification, and #Activism are inseparable and important components to any believer. The first verses to be revealed in the Holy Quran started with these three components and requirements: Read (knowledge), Prayer & Qiyam (Purification), and Warn and spread the message (Activism).

In Jalal al-Din as-Suyuti's book 'Secrets Within the Order of the Qur'an' the section on this surah mentions that one of the profound messages of surah al-'Alaq is the incentive to seek knowledge. This made me ponder about the wisdom behind Allah choosing these verses as the first verses ever revealed to His messenger.
The sequence in which the Qur'an was revealed is not aleatory but rather an example of its miracle and purpose. Each ayah is ca...See more

In these verses Allah reminds us of our origin: "Created man from a clinging clot. From something fragile and insignificant, He formed a complete human being. This verse humbles me. No matter how much knowledge I gain, my beginning was small, and my dependence on Allah remains complete. Knowledge should lead to humility, not pride.
Allah repeats the command "Read", but this time He adds comfort: "And your Lord is the Most Generous." It feels as ...See more

I found this very 'new' tafseer from Abdulla Galadari in 'Quranic Hermeneutics, Between Science, History and the Bible' pp.53-55. He approaches the origins of Revelation from a more secular perspective but does not deny explicitly that the Qur'an does come from God:
1. The second verse of sūrah al-Rahmān states that God teaches the Qur'an, sharing
the same root of the word Qur 'an, ' iqra ' when compared with the first and third
verses of sūrah ...See more
