The book addresses the virtues of the Qur’an, its recitation and study, the proper manners toward it, and the responsibility of living according to its guidance.
Throughout the course, students will study each hadith, its meaning, and its practical implications, while developing a deeper understanding of the believer’s relationship with the Book of Allah.
