37. We have to understand the Qur’an… If we want to make our relationship with the Qur’an meaningful

38. Our Relationship with Qur’an • Direct • Personal • Planned • Relevant DPPR www.understandquran.com

39. Direct • Whenever we read Qur’an or listen to it, it is Allah talking to us. He is ALIVE. He is watching our response LIVE (right there).

40. Personal • If Allah says, “Be Kind to parents” then take it as for you and not for others in the audience. It is for me. A personal message.

41. Planned • If I hear something of Qur’an today, it was written in my fate before even I was born that so and so verses will be recited to me. • Same is true for any ayah. • If food, clothing and all the material needs are a part of Qadr, then what I listen or read is also a part of Qadr.

42. Relevant • If I hear today, “Be kind to parents”, I should immediately check my relationship with parents TODAY and NOW. • Allah will not talk to us any irrelevant things. It is our duty to find the relevance. • Same way for other verses

43. So, to realize this relationship… DPPR • Direct • Personal • Planned • Relevant We have to understand the Qur’an.. www.understandquran.com
