Five ways to keep the Quran alive in your home

The Quran is not only a book to recite. It is a guide to live by. In this piece we look at a few verses and draw out practical lessons for the heart and the home.

The lesson

Every story in the Quran carries a lesson for those who reflect. When we slow down and ask what Allah wants from us in each ayah, our recitation turns into a conversation.

Indeed, in their stories there is a lesson for people of understanding. (12:111)

Action points

• Read one ayah with its translation every day
• Write down one lesson and share it with your family
• Make a dua connected to what you read
