Way to The Quran
by Khurram Murad
'Be thankful to Me, and to your parents'
(Luqman 31:14)
to
MY MOTHER
At her knees I learnt to read the Qur'an, upon her insistance that I
must learn Arabic I was sent to the school maulavi saheb who gave me the rudimentary
knowledge upon which I could build later; seeing her devotion to the Qur'an, reading it
with understanding, for hours and hours, kindled a spark in my heart which has continued
to illumine my way; and, finally, through her example and silent but solid support I found
my way to a life of struggle in the way of Allah.
'My Lord! Bestow Thy mercy upon my parents, as they raised me up when I
was little' (al-Isra' 17: 24)
