01. Steps for Quran Contemplation | Sura...

Nouman Ali Khan
About this episode
While both approaches have their merits, Ustadh Nouman explains that contemplation allows for a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the Quran, as it allows the reader to connect with the text on a personal level and to derive practical insights from it. On the other hand, Quran tafsir provides a more structured and rigorous approach, but may not always capture the nuances and subtleties of the text. Therefore, Muslims should strive to balance both approaches and to seek guidance from qualified scholars in order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the Quran's message.
