YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

How can we make the Qur’an’s stories feel more relatable to our lives? What can we do to always feel like the Qur’an is speaking to us personally? If the Qur’an is meant for everyone, how can we nurture a personal relationship with it? 

In this episode, Sh. Suleiman Hani talks to Dr. Jinan Yousef and Dr. Osman Umarji about how to feel like the Qur’an is speaking to you directly. 

Dr. Jinan is a Senior Fellow at Yaqeen and the author of the recently published book, “Reflecting on the Names of Allah.” Dr. Osman is the Director of Survey Research and Evaluation at Yaqeen, as well as an Associate Editor for the Editorial Review Board.
