5: Who do I need to focus on?

When we read the Quran or listen to a Tafseer, we tend to think more about others than about ourselves. ‘Yes, xyz does this’, ‘xyz should listen to this’, ‘xyz possesses this characteristic’.

On the contrary, we must focus on ourselves because we are seeking guidance for ourselves. In every verse we must try and find what this particular verse has for me? What is Allah saying to me? What have I been doing up till now? How can I change myself according to this verse? How can this verse strengthen me? What former perceptions I had that this verse wants me to change. Hence, the focus should be ME.

May Allah grant us the true understanding of Quran, allow us to benefit from it, act upon it, share it with others and become of His special people; the people of the Quran.

(The Messenger of Allah said: “Allah has His own people among mankind.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: “The people of the Qur’an, the people of Allah and those who are closest to Him.” Sunan Ibn Majah; Hasan)

P.S. Study the Quran and access its guidance under the tutelage of one of our qualified teachers:
