You’re flying through the Qur’an this Ramadan, but it feels distant. Why don’t the words of God move your heart? Why does it reach some people so easily while you struggle to connect?

In this reflection, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy explores the barriers blocking the Qur’an—distraction, heedlessness, and giving it only what’s left of our time. The Mighty Book is too proud to accept leftovers, and it will only attend to you if you give it your undivided attention.

“The Qur’an will never give you part of itself until you give it all of yourself.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy

“It’s not about stopping at an ayah. It’s about you opening your heart wide for an ayah to stop you.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy
