In the month of Ramadan we commonly hear that this is the month of the Qur’an. Usually, we associate this with its increased recitation in, say, Taraweeh prayers. But how do we gain an intimate relationship with the book of Allah? We know that the Qur’an is Allah’s words that he communicated to us – yet often our relationship with this amazing book remains distant. I think this is particularly the case for western educated Muslims, our rather dispassionate approach to our studies leaves us little room to build intimacy with books and if we do, we give an over bloated significance to those books that belong to flawed philosophers and troubled novelists.  

This week we speak to Ustadh Nuh Saunders who has given a lifetime of service to inculcating a love for the book of Allah. His passion for the Qur’an can be seen through his social media interactions, in a recent post he talked of his desire to build a Qur’an school in every black inner-city neighbourhood in America. His passion for the kitab of Allah SWT comes through in this interview and we ask him to demonstrate how and why we can develop this closeness we all crave in this materialist, cold and hectic world.
