Power Of The Qur'an



Learning Objective:
-Become familiar with the Hadith of the Holy Prophet, "Hearts rust just as iron rusts. They are polished through the recitation of the Quran." 
- Visualise the polishing power of the Qur'an on the heart 
- Understand how spending time with the Qur'an should show in our 'shining manners'.

Activity:
1. In a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of salt to 1/4 cup of vinegar or lemon juice
2. Stir thoroughly
3. Place old dirty coins into the bowl
4. Wait for a few minutes, take the coins out, rinse them in water and dry them with paper towels. They will be shiny and clean!
This is what happens when you spend time with the Quran, read it, understand it and act on it. Allah’s Words will clean and polish you inside and out! Your soul will be cleaner and closer to Allah and your manners and actions will be those that please Him. You will be a shining example of what it means to follow the Quran!
