Loved reading this during Ramadan. Not only do you reflect after reading each verse, but also make duaa.

just 1 page each day makes a difference in each of the 365 days of the year.

Alhamduillah, this book provides a collection of verses from the Quran that are each accompanied by thoughtful reflections and interpretations. The collection of verses were thoughtfully curated to offer us with spiritual wisdom, allowing us to dive deeper in our understanding and connection to Islam. This book was able to make connections between ancient scriptures and nowadays society offering true guidance from Allah.
I found this book extremely valuable and nurturing, providing me with peace and appreciation in everyday moments. I am now able to live in the moment and not worry about future stresses and forget and move on from past actions/ events.

Alhamdulillah. I didn’t read everyday a page, for I have read this book in the past as well. It is lovely, remindful, ... and of course a book we should hold on to every single day.

Beautiful

Useful and heartwarming quotes from the Holy Quran, meant to read on a daily basis 365 days and more. They are so well chosen that you can easily memorize them and act according to it. An alternative, if the Holy Quran itself isn’t in handy.

I read it now for two years (maybe more times in a row) and every quote is either a reminder (for good and bad deeds, reflecting on yourself) or just reminding you of the Beauty.

This has one verse per day and it is what it is. I had been expecting something more along the lines of a devotional when I got it, so I guess my "ok" rating has more to do with my own expectations than the book itself.

This book is meant to be read daily over the course of 365 days but I decided to finish it during Ramadan. I enjoyed it from cover to cover; in a way, it improved my journey during this Holy month. Reading phrases from the Quran truly makes a huge difference.
Much recommended.

SubhanAllah, these selections from the Qur’an really instil a lot of spirituality into a person and are very thought provoking and are presented in a beautiful manner too.

Read it as part of Taalim, short and sweet.

[Jason · Rating 1 out of 5]

Awful desert tribalism, full of blood-soaked bigotry and pathetically childish nonsense.

[kalakakku · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really well selected and thought-provoking passages from the Quran.

💯

[Bilqis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was great on concept but not as great in execution. I found that many verses that were chosen were too similar, and thus, I felt somewhat cheated reading the same thing more than once on different days. I also gave it 4 stars because the Kindle version has some typos.

If the daily Quranic verses were more varied, I would give this 5 stars.
