How to Ponder over the Qur'an? - Shaykh Adnan Abdul Qadir

"(This is) a Book (the Qur'aan) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember"

[Saad 38:29].

The believer should ponder the meanings, i.e., he should pay attention to reading and think about what it means; he should understand the meanings and thus he will benefit from it. If he does not understand the meaning perfectly, he will still understand many meanings. So let him read carefully and ponder and understand. This also applies to women. The reader should benefit from the words of his or her Lord and understand the meaning so that he may act upon it. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'aan, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?"

[Muhammad 47:24].

Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, urges and encourages us to think and ponder His words. When the believer -- man or woman -- reads the Book of Allah, it is prescribed for them to ponder and think and pay attention to what is read, so that they may benefit from the words of Allah and so that they may understand the words of Allah and so that they may act upon what they learn from the words of Allah. They may seek help in doing so from books of tafseer that have been written by scholars such as those by Ibn Katheer, Ibn Jareer, al-Baghawi, al-Shawkaani and others. They may also make use of books of Arabic language and ask scholars who are known for their knowledge and virtue about anything they do not understand. End quote.

ABOUT ISLAM LEEDS -

Islam Leeds was established in 2010 with one simple objective: to provide a correct understanding of Islam, primarily in the English language, for the Leeds community.
Since then, we've done this through:

Organising monthly talks
Setting up regular information stalls and exhibitions in Leeds City Centre
Attracting national and international speakers to speak to audiences in Leeds
Establishing large-scale events -- from conference-style lectures to community-building dinners
Delivering talks to audiences of all ages, including talks within schools

Islam Leeds is a volunteer-run community-cohesion organisation that encourages anyone of any age or belief to understand Islam in the way the Muslims closest to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) understood it.
