Happy Muslim Mama: Ramadan Journal 2017: Day 8 – Read

I have quite a lot of reading and book reviews to catch up on, but during Ramadan I tend to drop all of these in favour of reading the Quran.  This year I am starting to fall behind with work, housework, meal preparation and trying to catch up on sleep taking over my life.  I am hoping to catch up on my days off insh’Allah.

One thing has been different this year, I have always wanted to read the Quran in the original Arabic and understand what I am reading, but this year the yearning has grown into a keen desire to learn insh’Allah.  A few years ago I did the Arabic throught the Quran course for sisters and loved it.  I dropped out midway when I returned to work (I was on maternity leave when I started), but it means I recognise some words and phrases as I read the Quran and it is so gratifying alhamdulillah.

I make dua that I can gain some insight into the wisdom and the miracles of the Quran and that it benefits me and my children insh’Allah.
