How Should You Be With The Qur'ān?

Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān حفظه الله إيمانه said: "Sincerity in regard to the Qur'ān dictates the following five matters:

1. That you believe it is the Speech of Allāh in reality and that is revealed, not created.
2. That you learn it.
3. That you recite it frequently.
4. That you contemplate and ponder upon it.
5. That you act upon it.

Al-Imām ibn al-Qayyim [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“Tūba is for he who is occupied with his own faults over the faults of people. Woe to him who forgets his own faults and rejoices at the faults of people. The first is a sign of happiness and the second is a sign of wretchedness.”
