When The Quran Became My No.1 Priority

How Changing My Priorities Changed My Week

Recently I’ve been feeling more focused than ever.

I find myself reach out out less for my phone when I’m on my own. I find my self bubbling with ideas and energy. I find myself enjoying working more.

Nothing much has changed, except for one thing.

What changed?

Around a week ago, my friend told me that my local city was planning on hosting a Quran revision day for sisters. It’s a day specifically for huffadh or people who are currently memorising to come in and recite as much Quran as we can to one of the teachers present. Some recite the full Quran, some recite 20, 15 or how many ever ajza they would like.

I heard about this event for the first time last year, and ever since, I’ve been waiting for this years date to be released. But then my friend told me that the date was set for less than three months away. Three months?! I thought in shock. That’s too little time.

It’s been a long time since I’ve recited to a teacher face to face. And an even longer time since I’ve recited that much in one sitting. I needed a lot more time to practice to be able to be ready to recite that day.
