How Do I Quran Journal?

Many people have asked me how to Quran journal. My top advice is to just start. Gather your Quran, a reliable tafsir (book explaining the meaning of the Quran), a book to write in and a pen. That's it. Of course, you can be creative and watercolour, draw, colour and decorate your pages, if you like to but that is optional.

As a parent, you don't get much time to read. But it's important that you do.
