According to the traditional narrative, several companions of Muhammad served as scribes and were responsible for writing down the revelations. [13]Shortly after Muhammad’s death, the Quran was compiled by his companions who wrote down and memorized parts of it. [14] These codices had differences that motivated the Caliph Uthman to establish a standard version now known as Uthman’s codex, which is generally considered the archetype of the Quran known today. There are, however, variant readings, with mostly minor differences in meaning. [13] Why is My Quran Journal important?

I am not religious in any way shape or form – but when I did our b ible journaling post, I thought it only fair to include our awesome Muslim bothers and sisters. Why? Because journaling is an unbiased setting to do amazing self reflection. So I had to add Quran journaling to our amazing list of spreads! So! What is the Qaran? And specifically what is Qaran Journaling? Lets have a look at some Quran journaling spreads. The Quran: literally, ‘that which is often recited.’ A web of rhythm and meaning, the words of which throb through Muslim worship and which, at every point in the believer’s life , break surface, sanctifying existence with the scent of eternity.” [Abdul Wadod Shalabi in “Islam – Religion of Life”] How does this connect to me and my experiences? That is one of the main reasons you are keeping this journal, to discover this. Amidst these uses for a journal, there is one that has been rarely talked about: the Quranic journal. What is the Quranic journal? Learning needs to happen on a regular basis. Establishing a schedule is probably the best way for you to really connect with the Quran. Just set aside a few minutes at a time when you know you won't be easily distracted. It could be in the early morning hours before everyone is up. It could be late at night when everyone is asleep. Or it could be in the late afternoon at a spot away from noise and other distractions. 6. Make sure you understand the right meaning of the verse

Tadabbur & Tafakkur is to look deeply at the meaning and profound messages behind the verse and to reflect upon it. Write down the ayah in your journal (if you are feeling adventurous, you can write it in Arabic too!). 5. Reflect For many Muslims today, especially those who have not grown up in a Muslim country, the value of the Quran as the Word of Allah may not be as strongly entrenched. Quran journaling is a great way to cultivate that relationship -it gives us flexibility to connect with the Quran on our terms The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance for mankind 2:185. It sometimes offers detailed accounts of specific historical events, and it often emphasizes the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence. [18] [19] Hadith are additional oral and written traditions supplementing the Quran; from careful authentication they are believed to describe words and actions of Muhammad, and in some traditions also those closest to him. [20] In most denominations of Islam, the Quran is used together with hadith to interpret sharia (Islamic) law; [20] in a small number of denominations, only the Quran is used as a source. During prayers, the Quran is recited only in Arabic. [21]Enhance your Quran journaling experience with creative elements. Illustrate the verse with doodles, drawings, or calligraphy that capture its essence. Use colors and designs that resonate with the emotions and messages conveyed by the verse. My Quran Journal allows you to record these moments and connect more deeply with the Quran. It is a system of penning your reflections, appreciation and gratitude. Many of us tend to recite the Quran regularly but how often do we find the time to just truly slow down and reflect upon the words of Allah and what He is telling us? We undertook a Quran Journal survey in the early months of 2022. Within four weeks of pushing out this survey, we received an astonishing 170 responses! One of the questions we had asked within the survey was: ‘Have you ever owned a Quran Journal?’ and 88.2% of the respondents replied with no! Also, we undertook over 15 focus group interviews with a diverse range of audiences. Within these interviews, we had realised that there was so much demand for a Quran Journal. A lot of the participants mentioned how they wanted a book which helped them to connect more deeply with the Quran. Recite. Revise. Reflect. Remember that Quran journaling is a deeply personal and spiritual practice. Embrace imperfections in your artistic expressions and written reflections. Your journal is a sacred space for self-discovery, growth, and connecting with the divine.
