In my early childhood, my relationship with the Quran was the average cultural relationship, kiss it, keep it on the top shelf, memorize my basic surahs, nothing more. When I was eight, I started Hifz….
In our times, the most quoted verse of the Quran is the “Verse of the Sword” and the phrase “not every Muslim is a terrorist but every terrorist is a Muslim†has almost become cliché.
