Growing up, I didn’t feel connected to the Quran (I wasn’t doing it for the right intentions). But now, my connection with the Quran is stronger because I do it for the sake of Allah but also to better myself. It’s definitely a work in progress - I still struggle being consistent in my recitation but I am aiming for progress, not perfection. May Allah bless our Quran journey and make it a means of benefit for all of us, Ameen.
