Ramadan Checklist!!

[Henia 11]

3. Read the whole Qur'an at least once as the Prophet peace be upon him did.

Ummm, wasn't the Prophet illiterate his entire life?

He was not educated man but very articulate and intelligent. But yes already said, reciting isn't the same as reading.

[Henia 11]

Well the whole purpose of Ramadan isn't to read the Qur'an in Arabic (since if you didn't understand it what would be the purpose then?) but to have a super packed month of complemtation about your Creator, your world/self and being closer to your Creator. I believe the whole purpose is the intention. Cramming reading the Qur'an in the month without really thinking on its message or just reading it for the purpose of "I have to" is to me, the opposite of what we should be doing.

Well said, Henia.
