Quranic Themes

 

New Quran goals often emerge after the month of Ramadhan, and this year our community of Quranic sisters is taking on a “theme a week.”

Each day, we select a verse from My Quran Study Stickers by Sun Behind The Cloud, which thoroughly organizes themes and lets us focus on the ayah itself, without spending time on research.

We’ve set up a WhatsApp group where the daily verse is shared, followed by reflections from the participants. By the end of the week, it’s beautiful to see how one theme appears across the Quran from different angles.

It’s a simple, manageable way to start a daily Quran reflection habit while deepening familiarity with the verses and their themes.

Courses by Islam From the Start

"Incredible how much I gained within just half an hour! A brilliant overview of the first Juz. Lots I didn't know (first commandment, first story), some I recognised but didn't know where in the Qur'an they were (dua of Prophet Ibrahim), and other insights I really benefited from (description of taqwa). Very much looking forward to the rest of the course!"

"An amazing lesson. I learnt so much from it. Looking forward to the next lesson."

"So much enjoyed this! Loved the flow from Juz One and really appreciate the key verses you’ve selected. It feels really easy to follow and your examples are always so relevant. You deliver in such an engaging way!"

Quran Journalling Resources

Learning Objective:

Quran Verse:

Why do they not reflect over the Quran? Are there locks on their hearts? 47:24

The Quran is the Word of Allah. Each verse is speaking directly to you. Each verse in the Quran is called an Ayah, a sign. It is a sign that guides us to Allah.
