And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful? (54:40)

The Quran is a profound and timeless text, offering guidance, wisdom, and comfort to millions of Muslims. Yet, embarking on a journey through its verses can often feel overwhelming. Where to start? How to delve deeper into its themes and messages? Since the publication of My Quran Study Journal in 2022, we have been inundated with questions from readers eager to begin their Quran journalling journey, but uncertain of how to proceed.

Introducing a fresh, engaging approach: My Quran Study Stickers. This innovative tool is designed to transform your interaction with the Quran, making it an easy, vibrant and enlightening experience.

Imagine embarking on a journey through the Quran with 40 chapters, each focusing on a unique theme or personality within the sacred text. As you read and reflect on each verse, you’ll place a beautifully designed sticker in your Quran, marking your progress and thoughts. These stickers serve as visual and tactile anchors, helping you to weave together the diverse threads of quranic wisdom into a cohesive tapestry of understanding.

Each sticker represents a step forward in your exploration. With every verse, your insights will deepen, your reflections will grow richer, and your comprehension of the theme or personality will expand. This method encourages a more holistic grasp of the Quran’s multifaceted messages, fostering a deeper connection with its teachings.

The beauty of this study aid lies in its flexibility. There are numerous ways to integrate the stickers into your study routine. You might choose to focus on one chapter each month, or perhaps explore one sticker each week. The pace is entirely up to you. The key is to continuously make connections between the verses and capture your reflections and observations in the journalling space provided in My Quran Study Journal. This personalised approach allows you to deepen your understanding and create a meaningful record of your relationship with the Quran.

By the time you complete each chapter, you’ll have a collection of reflections and annotations and a personalised, thematic map of your quranic journey. This approach not only makes the Quran more accessible, but also transforms your study into a creative and engaging spiritual practice. The curation of verses in each chapter is by not means exhaustive, rather they serve as an introduction to the topic and blank tabs have been included at the back of the book for your continued research.

There are colourful Surah Tabs that you can use to easily navigate the chapters in the Quran as well as stickers to mark where the surah has been revealed. For verses that have a great impact on you, use the heart stickers, and use the light bulb stickers to easily signify the verses that truly inspire you.

Whether you’re a seasoned journaler or a curious beginner, My Quran Study Stickers are your companion in unlocking the profound beauty and wisdom of the Quran. Embrace this journey with an open heart and mind, and let each sticker help you through the layers of meaning within the sacred text.

Start your exploration today, and witness how the Quran’s timeless messages unfold in a new, inspiring way.
