Pretty big win if you ask me. When she saw a picture of herself at the finish line, the first thing she said was omg, I’m such a fat cow! My instinct was to backhand her. (in my mind of course, I’m not a violent person lol). But I realized this is something we do to ourselves all the time. When I reached the 7th Juz, I calculated how long it took me a lot slower than I wanted. I wasn’t happy with myself. So this Eid, it hit me." Keep reading...

SubhaanAllah, This is how the deaf recite Quran. Thank the blessing of Allah upon you, the tongue, by reciting and saying only that which pleases him.

You keep trying to be that Fajr morning person who recites Quran then starts their day off right. But staying up ain't easy. What do you do? http://www.miskacademy.com/night-owls-and-fajr-quran/

When you arrive at a verse and feel uncomfortable. And that discomfort makes you feel even more uneasy because those aren’t feelings you’re supposed to have about Quran, right?

There are times when Quran feels breezy and flowy - and those are the happiest moments. But at times it feels too heavy, like your heart just can't access it. It's like an uphill battle trying to read or memorize a page. http://www.miskacademy.com/when-the-quran-feels-too-heavy-/... Those are the times that lofty goal feels like.... it just isn't for me. Because I've tried for years and years, and the results aren't that much better. It just isn't clicking. That feeling of being inadequate - it's painful. Because you begin to think the Quran chooses people - special people - and you're just not one of them. I know, because I feel it sometimes too.
