Reading the Quran should change how you live

VRIC · AbdulRazzak Junaid

“The worship is in putting the ayahat into practice and doing amal with the Qur'an.”

The khateeb, at 12:23

In one sentence

Tadabbur is not mere Qur’an recitation or comprehension but a purified, reverent, measured, emotionally responsive, practiced, repeated, and teacher-guided relationship with the Qur’an, especially as Ramadan approaches.

The khutbah in 7 steps

  1. Frames Sha'ban and Ramadan as a time to return seriously to the Qur’an, recalling Ibn Taymiyyah’s counsel.
  2. Defines tadabbur and tilawah as understanding the Qur’an with the intention to practice it.
  3. Introduces nine keys, beginning with purification and glorification of the Qur’an.
  4. Emphasizes beautiful, measured, slow recitation with tajweed, proper stopping, and deep reflection.
  5. Calls listeners to respond emotionally and to implement Qur’anic commands and prohibitions.
  6. Encourages repeating verses that touch the heart so their meaning becomes transformative.
  7. Concludes with the need for teachers and students, followed by prayers for Ramadan and Muslims facing hardship.
