"How can I connect with the Qur'an?" wit...

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

The Qur’an is the rope of Allah that saves all who hold onto it. It is nourishment for our souls and a light that discerns between truth and falsehood. But its messages and meanings cannot be unlocked without tadabbur: deep and regular reflection. What role should the Qur’an play in the daily lives of those who believe its message? What are the barriers preventing us from building meaningful and transformative relationships with the Qur’an? What steps can we take to finally feel like we’re connecting with God’s final message?

In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud talks to Sheikh Mohammad Elshinawy, co-author of the Yaqeen Institute paper “Keys to Tadabbur: How to Reflect Deeply on the Qur’an.”
