Memaknai 10 Hari Pertama Ramadhan – Kurma Ramadhan #10

Summary

The speaker highlights the importance of reading and reflecting on the Qur'an during the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is described as a time for deep connection with the Qur'an, emphasizing the practice of 'tadarus' (studying and reading the Qur'an).

True worship in Ramadan is about 'istiqamah' (steadfastness), meaning that even reading one or two verses daily, consistently, holds more value than rushing through the entire Qur'an without focus. The message encourages sincerity, understanding, and devotion to the Qur'an.
