HOW CAN A BUSY PERSON STUDY QURAN REGULARLY?

Tips for Studying the Quran in a Busy Life

In this modernized world, almost every person is involved in some kind of day-consuming activity. It could be any activity such as schooling, teaching, business deals, or some other jobs that consume almost our six to eight hours of the day, and then the time to take our meal also adds up 1 to 2 hours to it. The rest of the time is usually spent in transport, with our families, in amusements, taking a nap, bathing, and relaxing. Although as Muslims, we all have a keen desire to have our relationship with Quran stronger after all these activities, we are hardly left with any time for ourselves. While Quran is such a luminescence that can even light up your hearts if you read its two ayahs by getting their meaning and observing that Allah [SWT] is addressing to us and that every ayah is a message for us from Him. We have to find time to read the Quran, or have an online Quran tutor, which makes reading the Quran a part of our day.  Here are some tips for a busy person to add some habits for studying the Quran in their busy lives.

Making the Quran a Priority

It’s the most important thing to make yourself realize that studying the Quran is not a choice; it is obligatory for us. Whether we want to or not, it is something that we have to do, not just because it is obligatory but also because it is a spiritual medicine for Muslims. Without the Quran, what kind of Muslims are we? What do we have left behind? Also, observe that when it’s a greater period of time since you read the Quran the last time, you feel depressed and you’re heart is empty. You may lose your heart to everything. To get rid of this condition from your life, reading the Quran is a must. As Allah [SWT] says in the Quran;

“Do not lose heart nor fall into despair! You shall triumph if you are believers.” [Quran 3:139]

So, as in this verse, many such ayahs in the Quran never make us feel disappointed, despair, or lose heart in anything. Read the Quran whenever you get some of your time free. Reading the Quran online is easy in this modern world. Don’t mess up this opportunity, even if you read a single ayah a day, you will have done something really worthy to you.

Read Less but Read Regularly

Consistency Over Quantity

This tip is a must to apply in your daily life. It’s ok to read a single Roku a day, it’s okay to read a single ayah a day, but never ever adopt the habit of reading a whole Parah a day and then several days without reading even a word of the Quran. Read less but be punctual. It is even said by our Prophet [SAWS] that Allah loves that act in which there is continuity. This hadith is stated as;

“The acts most pleasing to Allah are those which are done continuously, even if they are small.”

Following this hadith, even the busiest person can build up a habit of reading the Quran if he really has the urge to do so, because the usual use of gadgets, especially mobile phones, is such a common aspect nowadays. It enables us to read or listen to The Quran online even if we are on the way to work, our way back home or doing any other activity. Reading or listening to just a single verse a day doesn’t take much time.

Positive Use of Digital Gadgets

Now in our modern lives, it doesn’t seem awkward if a person is busy with his work while listening to music in the background or has headphones in his ears, then why don’t we link something positive and peaceful with these digital gadgets? While on the way somewhere or just before going to bed, read The Quran online or just put your hand free and listen to an ayah with translation as well. Always try to observe their meaning as much as you can. Question yourself about what Allah [SWT] is asking you. Try to get the difference between the same words, used in different ayahs and what they are meant for. Always remember that the Arabic language, in which the Holy Quran has been sent, is a vast language having several different meanings for a single word. You will surely get involved in the meanings of the Quranic words and their actual meaning in that specific verse. Interest plays a great role in any work. Once your interest develops in the miracles of Anabiya done by Allah [SWT], which are written in The Quran, you will be attracted to the Quran yourself.
