The Qur’an: It’s All For You!

When you read the Qur'an, cultivate the mentality that every single surah, verse, ayah, and letter was revealed for you, personally.

Verse addressed to Banu Israeel (Jews)? Maybe Ahlil Kitaab (people of the book)? Or maybe An-Naas (humankind)? Or even the obvious, to those who believed? Yes, it addresses them--but it also addresses you. Learn from their past--their triumphs and their defeats, their actions and their mistakes, their joys and their pains.

And remember, there is nothing uselss in the Qur'an--if you don't feel like you benefit from any of it, grab a volume of tafseer (maybe Ibn Kathir?) and read up on the meanings.

May Allah cultivate in our hearts a love of this great and fundamental basis of our deen, ameen!
