Ramadan Kareem! To welcome in this blessed month and help you get the best out of yourself and the most out of your Quran studies…

Here are 6 essential Ramadan resources:
WARNING: Do Not Use All 6 Tools This Ramadan(Unless you have a LOT of free time)

Choose your goals carefully.

Here they are…

1. To complete the Quran in English & Arabic, with basic commentary, use this:

http://www.alhudapk.com/audio/category-1/al-qur-an/translation-and-tafsir/brief-explanation/english/fahm-al-qur-an-englsih-aminah-elahi.html

(highly recommended if you’ve never read it in English before – 2 hrs per day)

—————————————————————————–

2. To complete the Quran in Arabic, follow along with professional reciters here:

http://www.mp3quran.net/eng/mushaf.html

You can choose reciters by name. My personal favourite right now is Shaykh Abu Bakr Ash-Shatri:

http://www.mp3quran.net/eng/shatri_english.html

It’s beautiful to listen to and he goes at a reasonable pace, so you’ll get through 1 Juz in well under 1 hour each day.

—————————————————————————

3. If you want to understand 70% of the Quran in Arabic by the end of Ramadan, do Short Course 1 & 2 from here:

http://www.understandquran.com/

Time: 1 hour per day

———————————————————————————————

4. The best English Translation available now comes with parallel Arabic text):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quran-English-translation-parallel-Arabic/dp/019957071X

It’s the standard Uthmani script to help you organize your reading Juz by Juz.

Time: 45mins per day

5. The Quran For Busy People free web-class.

https://www.quranforbusypeople.com/plan

You can join the web class to transform your connection with the Quran in just 11 minutes per day.

6. Tafsir Resources

If you’ve decided that this Ramadan you want to focus your effort in the Quran on Tafsir, rather than an overview reading, I recommend these 2 resources.

-> Al Huda Tafsir Course:

http://www.alhudapk.com/audio/category-1/al-qur-an/translation-and-tafsir/detailed-explanation/english/taleem-al-qur-an-hijaab-iqbal.html

-> Bayyinah Tafsir Podcast:

http://bayyinah.com/podcast/

I’d recommend you start today with the Al-Huda course, Juz 2, Lesson 6.

You’ll see why ;o)

I pray you have the best Ramadan of your life so far. May Allah bless you and guide you & give you infinite blessings from your thoughts, words, and actions this Ramadan.

From the bottom of my heart…

Ramadan Kareem & Warmest Salams,
