When a relationship with the Qur’ān is fostered, it is a companion such that a person doesn’t feel lonely as long as they have the Qur’ān. Doesn’t feel needy, as with the Qur’ān there is no poverty. Is satisfied, as nobody has been given more than the treasure of the Qur’ān. Is continually cured from their spiritual ailments and so doesn’t feel spiritually sick. Is enlivened by its freshness, as there are multiple layers to its message and so is engaged. Finds it to be multifaceted and so appreciates its nuances and complexities and is occupied with studying and repeating it. The more they reflect on the Qur’ān the vaster the meanings they find in it. They live life with the Qur’ān as their anchor. They find vision of the Prophet (saw) and the Infallibles (as) through the lens of the Qur’ān. They act according to it and so can look forward to a beautiful reward with Allah as their lives are filled with the light of the Qur’ān.
The purpose of this Qur’ān journal is to be part of that journey. A space in which you choose how you want to develop. Whether it is noting down important points that you find in the exegetical literature, writing your innermost thoughts and questions, reflecting on Qur’ānic expressions and its choice of words, diagramming verses, or sketching how a verse makes you feel. There are no rules to how you process the guidance of the Qur’ān as each person’s journey with the Qur’ān is individual. Use this journal as your personal development space, and leave its definitive interpretation to the specialists in order to steer clear of interpreting the Qur’ān according to your whims. Interpreting the Qur’ān according to your own opinions is heavily disparaged, while thinking about the verses of the Qur’ān is recommended and indeed essential to progression. The middle line is to think over the verses and how they have been interpreted rather than claiming that your thought is the purport of a verse. Let the verses guide your thought, rather than allowing preconceived notions speak over the Qur’ān. The Qur’ān is the guide and we are the wayfarers.
My Qur’ān Study Journal makes use of the translation of the Qur’ān into English by Ali Quli Qara’i. May Allah grant us all a beautiful relationship with the Qur’ān and thank you for letting us be part of your Qur’ānic journey.

Quran for Life –
I bought this journal yesterday. I am so glad to see every details and the quality of this journal. As a Hafidha, I am glad to see the Arabic text is based on the Uthman Taha script and the translation is by Ali Quli Qarai, one of the best translations! I love the fact that the name of each surah is written on each page and there is a key sentence about the concept of each page on the bottom of each page. There is a lot of space for our notes and there is a Juz summary pages and more pages for notes after surahs. I am planning to use this journal to help me reflect on the meaning of each pages as I review the Ayaat.
Suggestion: I only wish the number of pages was aligned with the pages of Quran. This would made it much easier for Huffadh to use this journal and could easily find each page, based on the Quran page numbers.
May Allah Bless you for this Amazing work!
Fatima –
The item arrived really fast and in excellent condition. The journal comes with an english translation and prompts at the bottom of each page to start you off in your research, there is also lots of space for notes and juz summaries, verse mapping and reflections through the book, it comes with the english translation but not the tafsir so it gives you a chance to do your own research and get comfortable in your quran journaling journey. Buying this book also counts as charity and part of the money goes to charity. Thank you for this product!
