Few tips to Increase your Relationship with Quran!!!

Assalamu alikum (peace be upon you).Most of recite Quran without any understanding which   will make no changes in our lives. For example think you are reading a physics book and someone ask you “Can you explain me this chapter which you are reading  ?" and if your answer to him was “Sorry i have no idea" Then the questioner will tell please don't waste your time reading this book if it is of no use. It is same in our Muslim umma today they say i finished reading this chapter of Quran so and so.... But when asked what did you understand or what is the lesson you got from this chapter? They say "No idea".

Here we do not advice you not to recite Quran, but We say recite Quran with understanding. We can find many hadith of holy prophet (sal) on reciting quran such as" Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] " and in another hadith narrated by Ibn Mas'oad RadiyAllahu `anhu says that Rasullullah Sallallahu `alaihi wasallam said, "Whoever reads one letter of the Book of Allah is credited with one blessing and one blessing is equal to tenfold the like thereof in its reward. I do not say that الم (Alif Lam Meem) is one letter, but '(ا )' (Alif) is one letter, ' ( ل )’ (Lam) is one letter, and '( م )' (Meem) is one letter." (Tirmidhi)

Why do we say we need to that we need to understand Quran while reciting it. Because Allah says in his Quran "And we have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?" [Al Qamar: The Moon: 17].From This Ayah it is clear that Quran was made easy to remember and understands and Allah ask is there anyone who will learn or take lesson from it?.And Mu'az Juhani RadiyAllahu `anhu reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu `alaihi wasallam said, "Whoever reads the Qur'an and acts upon what is con­tained in it, his parents will be made to wear a crown on the Day of Judgment, the brightness of which will excel that of the sun, if the same were within your worldly houses. So, what do you think about the person who himself acts upon it?" (Ahmad, Abu Dawud) So where are we heading to?? .We Give priority to other leanings and understandings while forgetting to learn our guidance for this temporary life. But some others completely forgot Quran as if they are going to live on this earth always. May Allah protect us from being such people!

Now let us discuss how to increase the connection with the Quran?

 First Feel Allah is addressing you directly

Take all the verses are related to you and is for you personally

Know all these verses were planned to hear or recite for you

Quran is a reminder so its verses are relevant to you

When reciting or recited concentrate on what is read to you

Understand its meaning if you don't take steps to understand Quran

Imagine wherever it is possible to imagine, when Allah mentions about signs, jannah or hell or etc

Ask Allah to help you to receive admonition from Quranic verses.

Evaluate you past day or night to present and check constantly.

Plan yourself to understand and learn Quran (in future how would you improve)

Propagate what you learn (convey others your learning)
