3) Selected 365 Ayat for Youth - The Message

Robbi Zidni ‘Ilma O my Allah! Increase me in knowledge. (Sura Ta-Ha : 114)
to receive guidance from your Lord, to come nearer to Him
to seek His pleasure.
What you get from the Qur’an depends on what you come
to it for. Your Niyah (intention and purpose) is crucial.
Certainly the Qur’an has come to guide you, but you may
also go astray by reading it should you approach it for
impure purposes and wrong motives. Thank Allah
profusely for the Rahmat and guidance sent through the
Qur’an. Come to the Qur’an with a strong and deep faith
that it is the Word of Allah, your Creator and Lord.
Read the Qur’an with such deep attention that your soul,
heart, mind, tongue and body participate in the reading;
your Niyah should be directed to seeking only your Lord’s
pleasure by devoting your heart, mind, soul and time to
the guidance that Allah has sent to you. Bring the will,
resolve and readiness to obey whatever the Qur’an says,
and change your life, attitude and behavior- inward and
outward –as directed in the Qur’an. Concentrate on the
reading and meaning of what is being said.
And finally, remember always that Satan is there to create
all sorts of hindrances to divert your attention to
something else so that you miss the guidance. So be on
the alert, and seek protection from Allah.
