Allah says, “Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’an, or are there locks upon their hearts?!” (Qur’an, 47:24)
Last night we all heard some amazing Qur’an. Our Shaykh (teacher), Syed Jibril, read from the 9th chapter. Do you have any thoughts on what you heard? What part of the Qur’an are you in?
A juz is a part of the Qur’an. The Qur’an is divided into 30 parts (juz). The 9th juz of the Qur’an is from 7:88–8:40.

AS,would like to ask a question. im trying to keep up with ur reading here and its relay helped me focus,im reading “The meaning of the Holy Quran” by Abdullah Yusuf Ali,it has the arabic text and english translation, although i can not unerstand the arabic i can read it, so i read the english first and then Arabic, my question is can i continue to do this when i have my period? i think i heard b4 that if a book had over 75% of another language its not classed as “Quran” so to speak, this book has more than 75% english in it i think, translation, foot notes, preface etc,so would i be allowed to hold it and read from it during my period?

I feel like Allah swt is again and again reminding us not to ever disbelieve. by giving us constant reminders of what happened to those who disbelieved.
At the same time knowing that human are not perfect Allah swt is constantly telling us in the Quran . We should sake forgiveness over and over and over again.
Alhamdullilah
As for my readings. I do it two different ways.
1: since I want to keep up with the taraweeh readings. I read the translation which goes by fast. I try to read 2 to 3 surahs per day depending on the leghth. (from asr to magrib)(I staring yunus inshallah )
2:Then between my zuhr and fajr and little after fajr I concentrate on listening to the Arabic recitation and the english translation. This goes by a little slow but Its amazing,you cant really explain the feeling. (Right now approaching al Anaam).

Alhamdullilah.
Dr. Farhat mentioned in the tafseer of this juz that Allah called Prophet Musa (pbuh) to Mount Toor to receive the scripture and the first words of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (saws) on Mt. Hira .
In order to gain true knowledge we also need times and places with a degree of silence so we can truly focus. Where is your Mt. Toor?
