Are you one of those people who rarely
touches the Qur'an? Or do you read daily, but don't find it is having
the impact on you that it should? Whatever the case may be, these are
some simple tips that can help you connect with the Qur'an.

1. Before you touch it, check your
heart. The key to really benefiting from the Qur'an is to check your
heart first, before you even touch Allah's book. Ask yourself,
honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information
and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was described by his wife
as a "walking Qur'an": in other words, he didn't just read
and recite the Qur'an, he lived it.

2. Do your Wudu (ablution). Doing your
Wudu is good physical and mental preparation to remind you you're not
reading just another book. You are about to interact with God, so
being clean should be a priority when communicating with Him.

3. Read only 5 minutes everyday. Too
often, we think we should read Qur'an for at least one whole hour. If
you aren't in the habit of reading regularly, this is too much. Start
off with just five minutes daily. If you took care of step one, Insha
Allah (God willing), you will notice that those five minutes will
become ten, then half an hour, then an hour, and maybe even more!

4. Make sure you understand what you've
read. Five minutes of reading the Qur'an in Arabic is good, but you
need to understand what you're reading. Make sure you have a good
translation of the Qur'an in the language you understand best. Always
try to read the translation of what you've read that day.

5. Remember, the Qur'an is more
interactive than a CD. In an age of "interactive" CD-Roms
and computer programs, a number of people think books are passive and
boring. But the Qur'an is not like that. Remember that when you read
Qur'an, you are interacting with Allah. He is talking to you, so pay
attention.

6. Don't just read, listen too. There
are now many audio cassettes and CDs of the Qur'an, a number of them
with translations as well. This is great to put on your walkman or
your car's CD or stereo as you drive to and from work. Use this in
addition to your daily Qur'an reading, not as a replacement for it.

7. Make Dua (supplication). Ask Allah to
guide you when you read the Qur'an. Your aim is to sincerely, for the
love of Allah, interact with Him by reading, understanding and
applying His blessed words. Making Dua to Allah for help and guidance
will be your best tool for doing this.
