Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Ramadan is a special month for returning to the Qur'an, because it is the month in which the Qur'an was revealed. The speaker encouraged everyone to read more, choosing a pace that matches their ability rather than giving up when a full monthly reading feels difficult. Learning and teaching the Qur'an are praised, and even a person who struggles while reciting can receive extra reward. When people gather to recite and study it, they can find tranquility, mercy, and the company of angels. Most importantly, the Qur'an should shape belief, practice, and the way we invite others toward Islam.
