“I leave behind amongst you two weighty things: The Book of Allahﷻ and my Progeny – The Purified Household Peace Be Upon Them, and never shall these two ever separate till they return to me by the Pool (of Paradise).” – The Prophet, blessings be upon him and his Purified Household, of Allahﷻ

This undisputed tradition, and others like it, cement in place the importance of both the Holy Qur’an and the etiquettes and teachings of The Purified Household Peace Be Upon Them.

That we cannot separate one from the other, nor can we hold on fast to one, but not the other.  It is a confirmation that if we wish to climb the spiritual journey in pursuit of perfection, that we must adhere to both weighty things.  And to neglect one ultimately leads to neglecting both! A bird, after all, can only fly with two wings.

One of the best ways in which one can be familiar with the Holy Qur’an is its memorisation.  This requires effort, dedication, time, and motivation. It is with this view that we hope to present a small contribution in which it is hoped the importance, significance, benefits, and proven methods for memorising the Holy Qur’an can be clarified, while dispelling some of the myths surrounding this important subject.

One hundred questions that may be considered complex are tackled in a simple, clear and no nonsense manner.  Question that can arise from out own thought processes, or injected into our thoughts by those with ill intentions towards religion.

Without the weapons to tackle those questions, we may start to wander in worlds of deception, imagination and illusions.

This publication has been translated to tackle some of those common questions. It’s a “You Just Can’t Put Down Book” that can help illuminate the minds of both young and old by removing the curtains of uncertainty and deception that seems to be constantly attacking us.

Ramadhan with the Holy Qur’an is a collection of thirty topics designed to be covered over a thirty-day period over the Holy Month of Ramadhan.  A small, easy to read and understand book with content based on the Exegesis of Noor – An exegesis of the Holy Qur’an by Mohsen Gharaati.

Using Ayahs from the Holy Qur’an itself and backed with traditions of the Purified Household Peace Be Upon Them, the book covers everything from the Holy Month of Ramadhan itself, through to practical lessons and applications of Islam such as enjoining good and forbidding evil, manners, night prayers, parents, migration, intercession, repentance, etiquettes of society, the family and much more!

A must read this Ramadhan!
