"Remind, for a reminder benefits a believer"


Photo: SMU - Islam Awareness Week - a prayer for Humanity


Salam Alaikum:

just a reminder about continuing our Quran reading... inshAllah we are in the month of Rajab; Next month is Shaban followed by RAMADAN. The Prophet (s) used to prepare for Ramadan two months in advance. He used to fast more days in Rajab and Shaban in preparation for Ramadan. He would also increase his ibadah (worship) and charitable acts in these months.

...So continue to grow as a Muslim; becoming closer and closer to Allah with good actions and avoiding the negative ones.

QRG Purpose:

InshAllah we want to push/remind students to read the Quran on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most Muslims don't pay much attention to the recitation of the Quran outside of Ramadan. For this reason, the Quran Reading Group is here to support and remind you about your reading every week.

Why You should read Qur'an (no particular order):

1. It's a shifa - a healing
2. It offers protection
3. guidance
4. connection with God
5. forgiveness for your sins
6. increase in your standing
7. increase in knowledge
8. enjoy the company of pure angels
9. conversation with God
10. for the Love of God
11. intercessor on the Day of Judgment
