Dearest and most beloved brothers and sisters, may Allah the Most Merciful shower His grace upon you with abundance and comfort you with His Mercy and Benevolence

How many Muslims leave this life unable to read or understand the Majestic Qur'an? They read complicated texts on different subjects, yet find it impossible to read the last book revealed to humankind. Are you one of them? It should only take a few lessons to learn to read if you have the desire to do so. Find a teacher today and do not delay. Read the Qur'an and live with its verses for it is a never ending ocean.

If you have the ability to read, then set a program, like the following:

no. pages of Qur'an to be read 5 pgs 10 pgs 15 pgs 20 pgs 25 pgs 30 pgs
Length of time to complete reading the entire Qur'an 4 months 2 months 40 days 1 month 24 days 20 days




Note: Every letter you read of the Qur'an is equivalent to a minimum of 10 good deeds. If I were to inform you that every time you read a letter you get a minimum of 10 dollars, make it 10 British pounds, what would you do? Thus if you are not reading the Qur'an, your faith in Allah's promise is nil. How many people work the whole day for 20 dollars? Think about it and think deeply,...something is not right if you are not reading the Qur'an.





Set a goal and be committed. Substitute an hour of television for an hour attached to the Book of Allah . Our dear prophet (saw - may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) stated, "The Qur'an is an evidence for you or against you." (Bukhari)

How would you like to be judged in light of the Qur'an?!

With daily recitation you should endeavor to memorize the Qur'an. InshaAllah (God willing/by the will of Allah) it will be easy if you set a program like the following. Remember, nothing great happens haphazardly.

no. lines to memorize per day 1 2 3 4 6 8 12 15
no. of years to complete memorization 24 12 8 6 4 3 2 1.5 yrs



I am positive that you can find a suitable plan that fits your schedule.

Remember, the more you memorize, the greater your capacity to memorize will be. So, you can do it.

You have to fill your days with something, so why not fill them with the Qur'an that will benefit your hereafter?

It is stated in Tirmidhi, regarding the elevation of one's station (position/standing/platform) in paradise, that it will be told to the companion of the Qur'an: 'read and recite the Qur'an as you used to in the first life, for your station will be according the last verse you read.'

Thus, my dear brothers and sisters, motivate yourselves so that you will not drown in your own regret.


Without much effort, you can, with your daily reading and memorization, add beauty and significance by reading the explanation (tafsir) of the Qur'an. If you do not own one, then buy it, for it is not expensive considering other commodities we indulge in. Set a program like the following:

no. of verse to be read with explanation per day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
no. of years/months to complete reading tafsir of the Qur'an 17.7 8.9 5.1 4.5 3.6 2.6 2.2 2.1 1.1 1.9



If you desire something, you can accomplish it.

Note: Please do not soley rely upon books, in order to learn the religion of Allah we must always turn to the Muslim scholars, Inshallah.




Dear Muslims, there are many deeds you can instill in your life to change your present lifeless condition.

You can be great in front of Allah if you so wish, with devotion, sincerity and humility, "...so worship Him and rely upon Him." (Qur'an 11:123)




Do not lull yourself to sleep; do not fabricate a lie deluding you from reality, and do not take lightly your meeting on the Day of Judgment.

Our beloved prophet (saw) said, "Woe unto you. Verily it will occur (Day of Judgment), so what have you prepared for it?" (Fath Al-Bari 1:140)




We owe it to yourself to change for the better before it is too late.

Do not be one, who says, with deep regret, in the winter of life, "I should have, and I could have." These words will be meaningless, having no bearings on the ultimate result.


There are many things of virtue that you can accomplish if you set your intentions right, and ultimately the blessings are from above. Never despair or feel helpless with Allah (swt), but always prepare to do the right things in the right time. May Allah help you to succeed in this life and most importantly in the life that is SURE to come.

Wait no longer, get up and make a change, now.
