5. Make Repentance a Routine (Juz 10, 11)
The previous ajzaa’ (plural of juz) showed who we are and what our responsibilities are; but we make mistakes. From this Juz repentance becomes the gateway to the rest of the Quran.
Chapter At-Tawbah until chapter Hud show the pitfalls of hypocrisy; those who when times get tough, make excuses, give up, resort to violence, addictions etc. instead of turning to Allah for help.
Action Point:
Imagine a word where repentance wasn’t an option, thank Allah daily for the miraculous gift of tawbah (repentance); and spend a few minutes daily asking Allah’s forgiveness from the heart.
Action Point:
Daily ask Allah to protect you from hypocrisy.
6. Stick to the Truth, Even if it’s Against Yourself (Juz 12, 13)
Chapter Yusuf shows you how the plan of Allah is beyond your understanding, and the truth will always prevail. Chapter Ar-Ra’d talks about the fragility of falsehood and the power of the truth.
Action Point:
Stick to the truth, whatever the temporary cost (loss) thinking of Allah’s reward.
7. Look at Nature to Strengthen Your Bond With Allah (Juz 14, 18)
After realizing the depth and force of truth, found only in and with Allah, chapter Al Hijr and chapter An Nahl, as well as Juz 18, Al-Muminun until Al-Furqan, gives you insights in the nature of Allah, drawing comparisons with nature to aid your understanding. Chapter Ibrahim shows us the worst fate is not earthly loss, but rather the loss of connection to Allah.
Action Point:
Daily simply look outside and let any aspect of nature remind you of Allah and your love of Him.
