Please let me add:
We are Muslim to the extent we live by Quran and Kafar to the extent we neglect
Quran.
One can live by Quran only when he knows what is written in Quran. Let me give
you a glimpse of

nor to believe and take it for granted,
but to weigh and consider.

every night. In Ramdhaan he used to complete one recitation of the entire
