About Qur'an Journaling
What?
Qur'an Journaling is a process of documenting our reflection about some verses
in the Qur'an. Personally, I have started the Qur'an Journaling on a simple
notebook. Based on the Tafseer which I have learned from our scholars through
reading or watching their lectures, I have documented my thoughts and
important notes.
Why?
Very often, the importance of relating our regular lifestyles with the Qur’an is
not realized despite scholars and lecturers keep emphasizing it. For example, in
one of his lectures, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan mentioned an Ayah which is of
Surah Al- Furqan (30). According to this Ayah, he explained that Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) will complain on the judgement day, "O my Lord, indeed
my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned". This ayah triggers a
question: how come we abandon Qur'an? We recite it every day, don’t we? By
indicating the Ayah, Ustadh Nouman firmly reminded us that we may turn away
from the Qur'an even though we recite it regularly In fact, reciting the Qur'an
without understanding will not bring changes in our characters. Unfortunately, it
is an irony that many of us disconnect ourselves from the Quran. It is because
we think that learning Qur'an is only for people who are knowledgeable in
Islamic studies. We need to create our personal relationship with the Qur'an as
a guidance and as a source of advice from Allah Subhanu Ta’lla. Qur'an
journaling is an effort to ease our personal journey towards Allah Subhanu
Ta’lla. Let's open the book of Allah, seek for the advice, ask if you meet a
confusion. Insha Allah this small effort will bring the Barakah and positive
changes in our lives.

How to do Qur'an Journaling?
Start with the pure intention and make Du'a to ask the guidance
from Allah.
Choose one verse or more verses which you want to reflect about, you
can take it orderly from your reading, or you may choose it
randomly.
Write your reflection about the verses and fill the other sections if
you want. For example, you can write the brief Tafseer but leave the
vocabularies section blank.
Allocate a special time for journaling. For me, the best time is in the
morning. You may do the Qur'an Journaling everyday/ up to your
own target.
Apart from reflecting the verses, you may also memorize and recite
them in your regular five- times prayers a day.
