The QURAN Journal:: 365 Verses to Learn, Reflect upon, and Apply

I wanted to wait a month after purchasing and using to write a review on this journal, even though I loved it instantly. I’ve searched high and low for a Quran journal and there aren’t many out there that I like. This one is just what I needed for daily reflection, aA. At the top of the page it has the theme of the ayat (e.g. forgiveness) then the chapter and ayat for the day to study. There is a section to write the ayat in Arabic, which is helpful to get back to practicing writing in Arabic and reading it in Arabic. There is a section to write the translation of the ayat and then a separate one to write the tafsir. Lastly, the last two section allows you to write how you would apply this ayat to life and whatever else that you feel like writing and then a little dua to either end your day with or start your day with (depending on what time of day you journal. What I really enjoy about this journal is that it encourages me to open the Quran and not just read one ayat and call it a day. However, I end up reading a few ayats before and after the assigned ayat to get an idea of what is going in the chapter and why it was revealed to the Prophet PBUH. I read somewhere that you can’t just study one ayat in the Quran to capture its meaning, you have to study the surrounding ayats to get an understanding. That’s what I enjoy about this journal, I am encouraged to open the Quran, I am encouraged to read a few verses from it as well and I can reflect on it. It’s also useful to go back and reread the little Duas I wrote for any day that I may need inspiration. It’s also really cute! I hope this review helped you in your decision to buy this journal!

In the last year, I have made an effort to get back into the tafsir of the Quran. I love journaling and have always seen friends of other religions with workbooks/journals for study and always wished we had those things in Islam. I was so pleased when I saw this Quran journal and bought it immediately; it arrived the night before Ramadan! I have only done a few pages so far (I do one in each section, to rotate the focus of study), but I LOVE the journal. It really makes you think about what you are reading as you have to use multiple books to properly understand and write about the tafsir and its application to your life. I would definitely recommend this journal for everyone but especially for anyone who wants to grow closer to understanding the Quran.

This is an awesome journal if you’re looking for a guideline to help you stay connected with the Quraan all year long. It has 356 ayaas that were placed into 17 general themes; like forgiveness, the day of resurrection, soul, paradise, angels, etc. I’m planning to start using it this Ramadan insha’Allah, and hopefully I can continue all the way till next Ramadan. I’ve been so busy lately, and have always felt guilty about not having the kind of constant connection with Allah that I wanted, and I really think this is what I’ve been looking for all along, to help me connect and stay connected to the words of Allah. Thank you so much for this wonderful journal!

I agree with those who said that it's a very simple concept all pages are the same and it almost does maybe seem not quite worth it but I have taken each day the time to look into the tasfir behind each ayah provided and although the first topic is forgiveness and it covers multiple pages with the same kind of similar verse when you research it really does give you different information unexpected information like the background context behind the verse when it was revealed and why ... it's a very good learning tool as well as a reflecting tool

Beautiful! It’s so clean, even, and big. I thought it was going to be smaller, but it’s thick and larger, which is going to be good to write in. The only downfall is that the pages are a little bit thin, so be weary of what pens you may use just to avoid bleeding! All in all, a great buy and I would recommend to anyone!

Update** I have been using this journal for several months now. I have really grown to like the journal despite my initial lukewarm reaction. The journal consists of mostly empty pages with boxes where the user can copy the Arabic Quranic line, the English translation, the tafsir, an application box and a duaa box. While at first I felt that the prompts (boxes), were a bit general, upon further use, I find them perfect. The prompts are designed to get you thinking about the Quranic line by by copying the Arabic lines, translation, and tafsir before you begin to really reflect in the application and duaa box. I personally use the application box as personal reflections on/interpretations of the ayas in question. I like that the journal is designed by topic (a certain number of pages on a topic before moving on to another topic etc), even though I might have chosen to include different topics. When you work through the journal by topic (like forgiveness), you start to become more oriented to the nuances in the Quran by seeing how the same concept is represented using different words and different grammatical forms etc throughout the Quran. One addition I have made to the page is writing a range of ayas. When you're reading the Quran, you probably don't want to consider one line in isolation. I would recommend reading the whole Sura if it's short or reading some lines before and after the chosen aya to get context. For me, I then choose about 3 - 5 ayas to copy into the journal and explore. While I think that the cover is simple and beautiful, the binding is a bit weak; my cover has become permanently bent upward after the first use despite leaving it under a heavy textbooks to try to force it down. Overall, I think it's a good journal, but it should be hard cover (hence the four stars). I would definitely recommend this journal!

Got this in the mail today! I am SO excited! It’s sad that some of the reviews left mentioned that they were disappointed because you had to put work into this journal, needing a Quran and researching the tasfeer. Subhanallah we as Muslim should be putting forth this kind of effort to read and understand the Quran in general! To all my reverts like me or those who are struggling Insha’Allah it gets easier for you and that you find the desire to learn more about Islam and the Quran. If you need a Quran you can find one at a masjid or order one online or read one online. ❤️

I bought this journal to increase my intimacy with the word of Allah, to make it more in my life and this journal is exactly doing it. Ayahs (verses) are already chosen for you which makes it easier, otherwise I would not know where to begin. There are sections for the chosen ayah such as Arabic writing of it, tafsir of the verse, application of the verse and dua related to the verse. I used to use the journal not as often as I wanted because of dunya, but inshaallah for this Ramadan I am planning to use it more often.

Helps you to connect with the Quran and learn the ayats in a dynamic and more efficient way, since it makes you cover more than just reading it but actually studying

I had it sitting on my shelf for some time, until I turned back to it one day, and I haven't stopped journaling ever since, Alhumdulilah. I love the structure, it helps me focus on a specific verse and reflect. Through practice my Arabic writing has also improved. I love the applications and dua sections, this is where you can really reflect and implement the verse in your life. I have brought many copies to distribute to family and friends after using it myself. May Allah swa make it a means of gaining a deeper understanding of His words, an opportunity to allow us to reconnect and reflect, in sha Allah. Ameen.

I have always seen the Quran journal and finally decided to buy it as a revert it’s very helpful and also reading the Quran and filling out the pages I honestly can not wait to start

Me encanta lo mejor

Man kann sich näher mit dem Quran beschäftigen leider keine ganzen Ayats sondern nur Sätze nicht so tiefgründig wie erhofft aber trotzdem empfehlenswert vorallem für jüngere um sich mit der Religion zu beschäftigen
