Iqra’: Reclaiming the Lost Art of Reading

Reading a book is one of the most powerful habits we can reclaim in our fast-paced, screen-filled lives. 

Allah’s very first command in the Qur’an was “Iqra’”—Read—a timeless reminder of the value of seeking knowledge and reflection. 

When we read, especially the Qur’an and beneficial books, we nourish our minds and souls, slow down enough to think deeply, and connect with timeless wisdom. 

Just as we are encouraged to read Surah al-Kahf every Friday, making reading a daily habit—even for just a few minutes—can bring peace, insight, and personal growth. When was the last time you read a book? Start today, and let the habit of reading transform your life.
