There's this massive renewed interest in the Quran.
And as someone who embraced Islam in 1992,
I thought it would be important for me
to share with you
some of the things you can do if
you're not Muslim that will help you as
you explore
the holy book of Islam.
The first is we often think of religions
and their text through the frame of others
and what that does that intimidates us and
keeps us away from the text.
But the Quran in the 25th chapter verse
number 1 does an other it invites.
And what that means is that the Quran
is not only for Muslim. This is a
belief that we have in Islam. It's for
humanity. So you should feel confident and we
want to welcome you as you jump into
this exploration
and adventure through our holy.
The second thing is people ask me, how
should they store the Quran? See that bookshelf
behind me. That's fine. Don't store it in
a place. That's dirty, A place that's unkept
next to something filthy. Right? It's a holy
text. You want to treat it like it's
sacred.
So do your best to store it in
a place that is
clean. The third thing is people ask me,
can they write in the Quran? Absolutely. My
mother had a Bible pen. My grandmother had
a
Quran pen if you like it that won't
bleed through the pages, and you can keep
notes
and take notes because I think it's very
important.
The 4th thing people ask me is how
much did they read? You want to try
to read 5 verses
maximum
and let them digest in your system. Let
them marinate in your heart. Let them marinate
in your mind. The Quran
is a pour over.
Right? It's not a, it's not just going
to be poured out all of a sudden.
It's, it's a drip. It's, it's going to
take some time to really impact you, but
you want to appreciate it that way. And
what's important is how you think about it
in a way that allows you to contextualize
it. The last thing that I want to
talk about is
if you have questions, feel free to ask
others and ask to qualify just like any
other religion. Not every Muslim knows about the
Quran so you're gonna make sure that you
reach out to an imam in your local
area myself or others on social media who
have an academic background and can answer your
questions we are super excited to have you
and we hope that you will enjoy this
wonderful
adventure with our book. Thank you so much.
