From Reverence to Relationship
Engaging with the Quran
Reading time: 2 minutes
Do they not then reflect on the Quran?
Or are there locks upon their hearts?
When we think of the Quran, we often picture it sitting on a high shelf, wrapped in the reverence it deserves.
But what happens when that reverence becomes a barrier?
When we treat the Quran so cautiously that we fail to engage with it?
One of the most profound lessons I've learned from a teacher is the importance of a worn Quran.
He would say, "If your Quran is pristine and untouched, I know you haven’t truly engaged with it.
But I know you're growing if it's worn, its pages creased, and its margins filled with notes."
The state of your Quran reflects your relationship with it.
Is it a book you open regularly, seeking answers and solace?
Or has it become an ornament—admired from a distance but left unexplored?
The Quran is not meant to intimidate us but to invite us into its guidance.
It’s a gift written for each of us, designed to meet us wherever we are on our journey.
You don’t need to be a scholar to access its wisdom.
You need an open heart, a curious mind, and the faith that Allah has placed something in its words just for you.
When you engage with the Quran—even imperfectly—you’ll uncover gems no one else can find.
Its lessons are timeless yet deeply personal.
A verse that feels ordinary today may strike you with life-changing clarity tomorrow.
But that can only happen if you take the step to open its pages and begin.
Let’s reframe our approach to the Quran.
Respect it, yes.
But let that respect drive you to build a relationship with it.
Open it daily. Fold its corners. Ask questions. Seek answers.
Treat it not as an untouchable artifact but as a companion accompanying you through life.
May Allah guide us to truly embrace the Quran as a source of strength and wisdom.
