A Minute at a Time

Everybody wants to read the Qur’an more–and why not? The Word of Allah, no less–unfiltered, unmodified, eternal; guidance for the entire planet. Yet many of us–even Arabs, who understand and have no problems reading and reciting–procrastinate and put off reading the Qur’an.

So try this inshaAllah: every day, read and recite the Qur’an for at least one minute. Try it. I mean, one minute is hardly time enough to do anything–so you have no excuse. RIGHT NOW, after you finish this post, pick up that dusty mushaf and give it one minute of attention that you know it deserves.

And guess what? Minutes add up. 1 minute a day, x 365 days, becomes six hours of Qur’an per year–and all with no more effort then it takes to open three envelopes or peel a potato.

So what are you waiting for? Give it a try inshaAllah; pick a time you can do it, like after Maghrib salaah, and just go for it!

Six hours! Subhanallah, imagine that.
