Almost everyone owns a smartphone or electronic gadget today. It is therefore vital to download the Quran into your gadget. A close friend
(practically a sister) had reminded me to download the Quran before I
left and I am thankful for this valuable tip. In fact, I downloaded a
few versions to be on the safe side.
Even though I had the electronic version, it didn't stop me from bringing the hardcopy of the translations, a Pickthall. The
one I was using at home was a Tajweed/colour coded translation by
Dar-Al-Maarifah, slightly bigger in size ergo not entirely practical for
travelling. The need for a hardcopy is essential simply because it
will never run out of power.
The plan was to purchase a Quran in Makkah for me to read in ease in
the mosque as well as at the hotel. I did just that on Day 3. The
electronic version, however, served well during two main occasions.
Firstly, during in-betweens when I didn't have my Quran with me and
secondly, during tazkirah sessions as a point of referral when being
quoted. Upon going through these verses from selected surahs, I would
bookmark it and come back to it later, as a form of revision. And as
long as I have my mobile phone with me any time today, I can still do
that!
No more games, no more excuses. Let the Quran help us lead our lives as better Muslims♥
Having said all these, just double check that the version you are downloading is genuine.
