00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Anytime that I am facing struggles in my
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			own life, I've just found that there's a
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			surah for it just every single time, and
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			I think I've highlighted almost the entirety of
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			both women
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			and albacara
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			because anything that's been happening in my life,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			I could just go to those 2,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			specifically
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			and find something that will address it. But
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			I I would say that instead of seeing
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			the Quran
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			as more of an during Ramadan or something
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			that needs to be completed, look at it
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			more as an answer to questions you've always
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			had or just something to complete your journey
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			that you've always struggled in. It's far less
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			intimidating that way, I would say. Approach it
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			with a heart of curiosity of what it
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			can do for you rather than you just
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			checking a box to say, I know I
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			I read the Quran during Ramadan.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			I love the fact that you're saying look
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			at it with curiosity
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			and then to look for answers in our
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			lives because sometimes just one verse can transform
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			you.
