What’s Your Relationship Status With the Qur’an? | Sh. Yousef Wahb

“Those We have given the Book follow it as it should be followed” (2:121). How do we strive to receive the guidance of the Qur’an from Allah? What does it mean to engage our tongues, minds, and hearts in the recitation of the Qur’an? Sh. Yousef Wahb explains how we can improve our relationship with the Qur’an.

This session was part of the “In the Way of Faith” Yaqeen conference held in Toronto, Canada in 2022.
