WHY 95% OF MUSLIMS WILL

NEVER UNDERSTAND THE QURAN

Assalamu Alaikum,

Im Mamoon Yusaf and welcome to this free report: WHY95% OF MUSLIMS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE QURAN.

In this report Ive outlined the 7 barriers most Muslims facewhen it comes to studying and understanding the Quran in Arabic.Lets get started

1. LACK OF GOALS & DIRECTION

Most of us never think about our Quran goals, let alone

seriously commit to them. We tend to drift in the wind, goingfrom one Quran activity to another.

To add to the problem, some traditional goal-setting techniques

actually dont work when approaching the Quran.

In fact, sometimes having the wrong type of Quran goal actually

PREVENTS you from taking action. Confused? You should be...

(There is a very specific way in which you need to set Quran goals,

and a particular way to think about them in order to makethem effective for you... but more on that later)

2. LACK OF A STRATEGIC, RESULTS-DRIVEN PLAN


3/9


Strategy is so important because you could spend 20

minutes per day reading the Quran for the next 50 years and

still not achieve any of the 3 main Quran goals.

I was once sitting with an alim, brainstorming the differentways in which we can study the Quran as English speaking

Muslims.

We counted about 13 different activities that you

could do if you have some time to spare. The problem is

figuring out which activities should take priority if you are to

reach your Quran goals in the shortest space of time.

There are so many different courses out there, and so many

contradicting opinions about what is most important to study.

Should you start with tajweed, Arabic, or tafsir? Is reading an

English translation more important than memorizing? Whichshould come first? And why?

Strategy is an under-appreciated key if you actually want to

achieve your Arabic language goals... For example...

You can study Arabic for years, and even do a degree andget a 1st, and still not understand the whole Quran, because

your Arabic learning strategy is incorrect.

With the right strategy, you can learn everything you need to know

in a

couple of months, with just 20-25 minutes per day.

We face a similar problem with tafsir. Where do we start? Do


4/9


we need to learn the entire Arabic language so we can

access tafsir works in Arabic?

Or can we just attend tafsir courses happening in the local mosque?

Are certain portions of the Quran more important to study andmemorise than others? If so, which ones and why?

3. NOT BELIEVING IN YOURSELF

They say the Devil's greatest trick is convincing the world hedoesn't exist. Well, if that's true, then his second greatest

trick is convincing you that can't achieve your Qurangoals...

Have you ever caught yourself saying or thinking...1. Arabic is soooo hard!

2. I'll never be able to memorise the Quran

3. What if I start this and then give up?4. What if I fail?

5. It will take years to achieve any of these goals

6. I'm too lazy

7. It's only for scholars, and I'm not a scholar, so I can't

study Quran properly

8. What will people say? How will my family react? Willpeople expect me to suddenly become "religious" if I

take on this goal?

If any of these sound familiar, Ive got some news for you...

It doesnt matter if you understand intellectually that thesestatements are not true what matters is whether you act as if they

are true.

With modern-day Peak Performance Psychology, clearing out

these kinds of limiting beliefs is becoming easier and easier thefirst step is to become aware, so

What are YOUR limiting beliefs about your ability to understand

the Quran in Arabic?

4. FEELING BAD ABOUT YOURSELF, UN-MOTIVATED (OR

LAZY)

Sometimes you know what you need to do, but you just can'tget yourself to do it.

We often call ourselves 'lazy', but that's just an excuse wecreate so we don't have to face the real causes of our

in-action.

The truth is there are a whole array of negative emotions

that may be blocking us such as anger, sadness, fear, hurt or

guilt.

Often these patterns play out unconsciously, which is

what makes them such a powerful obstacle. According to CarlJung If you dont make your unconscious conscious, you wont

be able to change, and youll call it fate

When it comes to understanding the Quran in Arabic, its up to us

to change our fate to being among the 5% of people who actually

do reach the goal, inshaAllah.

Maybe you've heard the term "Emotional Intelligence"? If you


6/9


want to

achieve your Quran goals, it's time to get some.

The most important part of making a huge shift in the quality

of your life, is to get yourself to stick with your Quran planLONG-TERM.

That only happens if you build one key skill:

Get yourself to take action even on days when you don't feel like

it.This is the key to self-motivation, self-discipline and ultimately

self-esteem.

Strategies for achieving this are beyond the scope of this report,

but keep your eyes on your email for more Quran For BusyPeople strategies to help you in this area.

5. LACK OF TIME

From an early age, you were taught to chase things. From

school to college to university and then onto the career ladder.

However, theres no real pressure on you to achieve your own

personal development Quran goals.

Often your Quran goals will take a back seat to: any family

'emergency' like a birth, sickness or death; to your health and

fitness goals; toany studying you may need to do for your professional

development; and the list goes on...

Sometimes you will have a lot on your plate and you will feel

like you're just too busy to start a new project like


7/9


understanding the Quran...

You may not have the focus, clarity or motivation to moveforward...

In fact, a lot of people have so much on their minds at any

one moment in time, that they can't focus for 5 minutes

during prayer without having stressful thoughts about payingthe next bill, or making that phone call...

The first thing my clients say when I ask them what's beenstopping them from taking action on their Quran goals is

always... "I just didn't have the time"

In reality, it's not always about 'time' itself. We all have the

same 24 hours in a day...

It's usually more to do with not having the skills to manage

yourself around the time you have available... but well give youmore support on that later

6. ITS NOT A RITUAL

(aka. you don't have the STRUCTURE OR DISCIPLINE to

keep it going)

If you don't already spend a set minimum amount of time

with the Quran everyday, then, like almost every other Muslim onthe planet, you will not achieve any of your Quran goals.

The result is the Start-Stop pattern.

Have you ever gotten really pumped up to study the Quran


8/9


or read some Islamic books, and then lost your motivation

and stopped half way through?

This happened to me once when I returned home from Umra. I was

determined to read the whole Quran in English, but couldn't evenget through Surah Baqarah for years!

Isn't it frustrating when you look back a few months later atall the books you half-read, or the Arabic courses you half-

completed,

or the surahs you half-memorized?

When you spend only 20 minutes per day with the Quran, you canunderstand it all in Arabic in weeks, go through a complete,

thorough tafsir in months, and memorize it all with excellent

tajweed in less than 5 years.

There are many fail-proof ways to develop a new habit or ritual,

but for now

Just make a conscious effort to turn your Quran study into a daily

ritual, and the rewards will be immense, inshaAllah.

7. LACK OF RESOURCES

You don't have the teachers, or the courses or the programs

available to you.

Some people are waiting for Shaykh Hamza Yusuf to move in next

door before they start studying the Quran. That's going to be a longwait!


9/9


Most of the actual resources you need are easily available for free

or at a very low cost.

Keep an eye on more good stuff and future emails from Quran

For Busy People and well give you the inside scoop on exactlywhich resources you do and dont need in your mission to

understand the entire Quran in Arabic, so you can more easily

derive guidance from it, inshaAllah.

I hope you found this report useful and it helped you gain clarity

on exactly whats stopping you from understanding theentire Quran in Arabic.

Warmest Salams,

Mamoon Yusaf
