THE POWER OF READING

Image
  The Power of Reading I know some people on my CL kept wondering why I suddenly started the propaganda of "Reading Books". Yes! I was overwhelmed with recent experiences and changes looking back. As I reflect on my recent experiences, I am reminded of the profound impact that reading has had on my life.

As in, premium and comprehensive understanding. Being busy with life’s countless responsibilities, academic pressures, work, personal commitments, while also trying to retain the over 77,000 words of the Qur’an no be beans. Most of us battle with this challenge. Despite the best efforts to revise, do muroojaha back to back, mistakes still occur, especially with the mutashabihaats (my ustadhs are probably looking me with one kin eye as they read this, MashaAllah. They have tried so much and I ask Allah to reward them abundantly). I experienced this challenge myself until I discovered a transformative solution that works for me: Tafsir.   From a young age, memorization came easily to me. My teachers often commented on my photographic memory. But as I grew older, this ability ...
