From Italy to the UK: The Life-Changing Path of Memorising the Quran || Adnane Majid #26

As-salamu alaykum everyone! We’ve just released an incredible new episode of Hifdhstatus, featuring Ustadh Adnane Majid! In this powerful conversation, Ustadh Adnane shares his inspiring journey of memorising the Qur’an, starting in Italy with the Warsh Riwayah, and later moving to the UK where his Qur’anic studies and Dawah projects flourished.

Ustadh Adnane takes us through his personal experiences of growth, spiritual development, and community engagement, while diving into the following key topics:

✅ His Quranic journey from Italy to England

✅ The shift in his studies and how his approach to memorisation evolved

✅ Launching impactful Qur'anic Dawah projects

✅ Viewing the world through the lens of the Qur'an

✅ The reality of what may seem like losses in this world vs. the Qur'anic perspective

He also challenges us to rethink our relationship with the Qur'an: is it just about memorising, or are we truly striving to live by its guidance and reflect on its teachings in our daily lives?

This episode is packed with insights that will make you reflect on your own connection to the Qur'an. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion! Listen now and join us on this transformative journey!
