ABOUT THE BOOK
 
While our devotion to the Words of Allah is unsurpassed, as shown yearly by the taraweeh prayers alone, our devotion to the Message of Allah requires more. We need to understand and reflect on the wisdom and commands contained in the Divine Words so that we are truly listening to them and not just hearing them.
 
That is the basic idea behind this book. A few ayahs were selected from every night's recitation to reflect on their message as it relates to our life and our challenges today. As a result here are about 150 ayahs that deal with most of the important issues we face.
Listening to the Quran means actively seeking guidance for our individual and collective life. It means developing a personal relationship with the Quran, and through that with Allah Most High. It means reflecting on the Quranic message and on our own situation.
 
Where do we stand?
Where should we be going?
​How does the Word of Allah relate to our world?
 
These reflections may stimulate our thinking, and our action. Not only during Ramadan but all year long.
