Ep 7 - Feeling Moved by the Qur’an | Qur...

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

Why are some people moved to tears when they read or hear the Qur’an while others have no reaction at all? How should we feel when we hear verses about the afterlife? What should we do when we don’t feel motivated to read or reflect on Allah’s words? 

In this episode, Sh. Suleiman Hani talks to Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and Dr. Nazir Khan about feeling emotionally moved by the Qur’an. 

Dr. Tesneem is the Director of Expanded Learning and the Director of Content Strategy at Yaqeen. Dr. Nazir is the President of Yaqeen Canada.
