How To Improve Our Knowledge Of Islam

The best way to improve our knowledge of Islam is to go directly to the source, and to study it with our family.

If we think of reading the whole Quran, it seems a difficult task.

However, it becomes very easy, if we decide to read just a few verses every day, and to do this regularly. Just try this little excercise.

Each night after Magrib or Eisha prayers, spend 10 minutes with your family, and take it in turns to read a few verses from the Quran, to discuss its meaning, and how it relates to your life today. Make this a daily habit. You will be amazed to see what little effort this takes, and how big are the benefits.

Your children will ask questions and make comments that will surprise you. Within a short time you will see how the Quran becomes a part of your life, how verses you've read and discussed, come to mind in different situations.

Without realising it, you and your family will grow in knowledge, understanding, confidence, and most importantly, you will strengthen your Iman.

This is all part of our duty as Muslims, to seek knowledge, to better ourselves and become more effective instruments of Allah's plan. We are urged to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave, and to seek knowledge, even unto China.
