• QURAN REFLECTION

We discussed the idea of reading the translation of the meaning of the verses after we read

the Arabic. If any verse stands out to us, and we like to reflect on it, then we do that in sha

Allah following the translation of the meaning. Sisters liked this idea and said it would help

them solidify the meaning and help with understanding the verses more.

Sister Megan read the translation of the approximate meaning from verse 34-48 and Sister

Mona from 49-52. (https://quran.com/8)
