All Muslims agree that we should devote more time to the Qur’aan in all facets of it:

1. Recitation
2. Reading Translations
3. Devloping (Arabic) to understand it, directly
4. Acting upon it
5. Propagating it

And yet everyone is busy, what are some of the practical steps which can be taken for (us busy people) to develop attachment to the Qur'aan.

Before reply to this thread, please keep two things in mind:

1. If you have nothing but anger, criticism and cynicism then try not to respond.
2. If you must place a link for a long time or an article or a blog, please summarise it in your words and how it has helped you (personally) so those with less time can be helped.

1. Take a break from SF and use the time to recite the Qur'aan.
2. Download Qur'aan on your Phone.
3. If you do not have an iphone or an adroid etc, buy one of those pocket Qurans and keep it with you all day.
4. Set a fixed time slot for recitation and don't have a floating time-slot.
5. You can choose to set a content limit e.g. reciting 1/2 Juz daily or a time slot e.g. recitation for 20 minutes a day; whatever suits you.
6. Read a Tafseer serially and sequentially in FULL. Set aside a time and read some content daily (or weekly) as your schedule permits.
7. Download a Surah which you know in the voice of your favourite Qari and recite along with it and Insha'Allah with the Barakah of the Qur'aan you will be given the Taufeeq to recite more and regularly.
8. Recite small Surahs (with immense reward) e.g Surah Al-Fatiha, Surah Al-Yaseen etc frequently so the Barakah will lead to Taufeeq to recite more and frequently.
9. Listen to lectures or read the books of Scholars of your choice promoting and encouraging attachment to the Qur’aan repeatedly.
10. Take up Tajweed classes and it will force you to recite the Qur'aan and the Scheduled approach will assist in making recitation of the Qur’aan as routine.

Instead of sitting on SF, use that same time in your daily schedule to recite the Qur'an.

How about fixing a specific time for recitation?

How about fixing a specific time for recitation?

A must I think..at least 30 mins each day...

[effenseshoora]

How about fixing a specific time for recitation?

Immediately after fajr salaah is a good time.

As this is regarding all facets of the our relationship with the Quran, I'd say read translation/tafsir every weekend at least...

Should Tafseer/Translation be read sequentially or just pick up and read from wherever?

[PZXjoe]

Reciting at least half a juzz of Quran daily should be firmly followed be it any part of the day. And one should never go to bed without fulfilling this. Allahu alam

nope imo it should be read sequentially, you should read the tafseer of the complete Quran over a period of time.

Definitely. And memorizing or at least attempting to memorize the 5 masnoon surah's i.e Yaseen, Fatah, Naba', Waaqi'ah & Mulk

In a running program you set a time limit and not distance because as you get fitter you cover more distance in the same time so if someone sets lets say 15 minutes they will cover more Qur’aan as they get more fluent so isn’t it better to set a timeframe rather than the content (to cover)?

Well that was recommended by my sheikh. I think when we fix to some minimum content, as time goes, this can be increased as one gets more attached to the Quran but one should be keen that one reads atleast 1/2 a juzz every day. This will have its own barakah if we are steadfast but the same can be said about fixing time too may be. And as far as time, if I am too tired, I kind of recite slowly and take more time to recite 1/2 a juzz. So it all depends on the person. Anyways different things work for different people. Some can fix the time and some the content. As long as we get the tawfeeq to recite Quran everyday then Alhamdulillah. The main thing is to remain steadfast on whatever we decide I think. Allahu alam

Good point...

[qzgCVHex]

read two ruku of Qur'an every day.
read one ruku tafseer every day.
that way one wont miss any day in sha Allah.
dont forget the tafseer.

[jamisi]

1. a. For all those who can recite, atleast 1 para should be daily recited (with Tajweed) by fixing a time. Usually, this should be done immediately after Fajr Salat. It brings barakah in abundance for the entire day. Make sure to complete the enitre Quraan recitation in max of 40 days.
b. For those who cannot recite, should spend the same amount of time required to learn recitation with Tajweed.
2. Regarding Tafseer. Suppose the President of China visits UK and addresses the public in Chinese Language. Every comman man in UK would be curios enough for translation. As a Muslim, how can we ignore the Last Words of our Lord and recite it daily in our Salah, invocations, Adhkaar etc.
Tafseer of atleast those portion of Quraan should be known to every Muslim which he\she recites in his\her salaat

First and foremost Ask Allah SWT for taufeeq and give love of Quran to you.
My shyakh recommended playing quran recitation in the background while on your pc, i've found that it keeps by blinders up
during browsing sessions and infact have reduced my online time.
Iisten to quran during household chores, exercising, daily commute, join a quran class ( even if for an hour a week ) to keep your
motivation up.

Nice thread.
