Great Idea!

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:

1. Learning dua with eachother
2. Learning Quran verses together
3. 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!
