Okay so I was watching this awesome
video (Click Here) the other day. And to be honest I was feeling
guilty about my conduct as a Muslim lately. It was really eye
opening. The woman in the video discusses about how the foundation of
your martial relationships should be Allah. And although this is how
it started out for me and my soulmate, school and time, and problems
became factors and driving us away from that standard.
So we discussed a few options of
remembering Allah, together. Now this is a little difficult for us
because we are not in the same country right now. But we decided
there were some other options that we could use. Some ideas that were
thrown out there included:
- Learning dua with eachother
- Learning Quran verses together
- Fasting on either Monday's or Friday's “together” to support eachother etc.
We decided that learning some Quran
would be a benifical thing to do. So the plan is for us to learn on
word, and it's meaning, every single day. Easy enough right? Then in
each week we would have learned approx one verse. Simple. Since we
are both not completely native to Arabic it is just enough of a
challenge but not too hard.
I just thought this might be a nice
idea for couples who are struggling with each other. If you guys
would like to try it with your spouse, or even a friend there are two
sites that show the Quran, word for word. This site shows the word
and when you click on it, the site will recite the word for you. The second site shows the word grammatically, and how it is broken down
in this fashion. This is effective and really helpful for anyone
learning Quran.
If you would like to learn dua instead
I found a nice pdf file that may help as well.
JazakAllah khair and May Allah make us successful InshaAllah!
