Better yet, you can take out the time this Ramadan to learn some Arabic words to increase your vocabulary and start understanding for yourself.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have always been in the situation where we\u2019re in Taraweeh (Night Prayers) during Ramadan and we start hearing the person next to us crying and you don\u2019t understand what the verses are and you start feeling guilty for not being able to cry and feel the same as that person.. So here\u2019s a tip to help solve that problem, before you attend Taraweeh prayers &#8211; try to find out what verses will be recited beforehand &#8211; so you can read the translation first. Understanding what the verses are about will make your heart soften in awe of Allah\u2019s might and mercy.<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Prophet (\ufdfa) said, <\/span><\/i>\n<blockquote><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The example of a believer who recites the Qur&#8217;an and acts on it, like a citron which tastes nice and smells nice. <\/span><\/i>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sunnah.com\/bukhari\/66\/84\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Bukhari<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only way we can act on the Quran is by understanding it and pondering over its meanings..<\/span><\/i>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Allah says: <\/span>\n<blockquote><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThen do they not reflect upon the Qur&#8217;an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?\u201d <\/span><\/i>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quran.com\/47\/24\">Quran 47:24<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May Allah allow us all to understand the book of Allah and #ReviveRamadan<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ponder over the Quran \u201cAllah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration.
