For the dinner table

Today's khutbah taught that the Quran is a miracle from Allah in many ways. Its pure message of one God, careful preservation, distinctive language, and knowledge of past and future events all point to its divine origin. Learning about these signs is not only useful when speaking with non-Muslims; it should also strengthen our own faith. The companions learned faith before learning the Quran, and the Quran then increased their faith. We should study the Quran, let it guide us, and help others discover its beauty.
