What You Get Out of the Qur’an Is Really Up to You [Quote - 19]

Published By Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book I (1-100)

“What we get out of this infinite ocean of light, glory and blessing that the Qur’an is, is not a function of the ocean now lapping at our faces and at our souls, it is a function, rather, of the container we bring to it. Buckets and teacups will haul away only what they can hold. And those that have holes in them will leak and lose what they are given.” (Dr. Pasha)
