The ability to recite the Quran is not just a blessing. The fact that you are alive, the fact that you can see clearly, the fact that you can afford the mushaf (Quranic manuscript) you want, the fact that you can perform wudu (ablution) with ease, the fact that you have hot, cold, or warm water that is clean, the fact that Allah has blessed you with the time to open His book, the fact that you can recite for a few hours without breaking your wudu, without any pains or aches in your body, and without any ailment, the fact that you were guided by Allah to have a great Quran teacher, the fact that we live in a day and age where we have YouTube videos that teach you literally every tajweed (rules of Quranic recitation) rule that exists, the fact that Allah has planted the love of the Quran in your heart, the fact that Allah has given you tawfeeq (divine guidance) to make memorization a goal in your life, and the fact that tears drop from your eyes as you make dua (supplication) to be a carrier of the Quran.
Next time you sit with the Quran, think of all these blessings. You are not "just" reciting the Quran in a vacuum; you are surrounded by blessings!
ALLAHU AKBAR! ❤️
