Daily Quran prepares us for Judgment
“Islam stands on its own, and we submit to its teachings, not make its teachings submit to our culture.”
In one sentence
After obligatory worship, daily Qur'an recitation and faithful adherence to the Prophet's Sunnah are essential ways to prepare for Judgment and seek Rasulullah's intercession.
