DR. PASHA’S QUR’AN SCALE
Connecting with the Qur’an:
A Daily Scale of Personal Progress
Every day, every
Muslim must ask himself or herself:
(1)
When did I last see the Qur’an?
(2)
When did I last touch the Qur’an?
(3)
When did I last hold the Qur’an in my hand?
(4)
When did I last open the Qur’an?
(5)
When did I last turn the pages of the Qur’an?
(6)
When did I last read any part of the Qur’an?
(7)
When did I last attempt to learn to read the Qur’an correctly?
(8)
When did I last attempt to memorize any part of the Qur’an?
(9)
When did I last attempt to learn the meaning of any of the
Aayats of the Qur’an?
(10)
When did I last reflect on the deeper connotations of any of
the Aayats of Qur’an?
(11)
When did I last attempt to put some of the Qur’an
into practice?
(12)
When did I last ponder ways of putting all of the Qur’an
into practice?
(13)
When did I last wonder how Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu
Alaihi wa Sallam, changed the world, using the Qur’an?
(14)
When did I last wonder how he did it within the impossibly
short span of 23 years or less?
(15)
When did I last attempt to teach someone the Qur’an?
(16)
When did I last invite someone to use this scale for
personally connecting with the Qur’an?
What to Do Next
-
Regardless of where you place on the scale, make a beginning now.
-
Starting from where you place on the scale, move up one level.
-
Continue your progress on the scale and ask Allah for help.
-
Invite someone else to use the scale the way you did.
