Read The Quran And Keep It Open Poem by Mohammad Younus

Read the Quran
and keep it open
on the bookstand of your heart;
With divine intelligence,
absorb its message well.

Place it not among
wandering thoughts, soon forgotten,
Nor let it drift through minds
distracted by false hopes
and fleeting dreams.

Instead, keep it in a locket,
worn upon your soul;
Reflect on what the divine conveyed
through the Seal of the Prophets.
Save within you all its verses,
for no true guidance lies
outside their light.

Read this Quran
and know it as the Book of All Time—
A gift not only for us
but for peoples yet to be born.
Within each line,
a timeless love and peace resides,
Yet many may pass it by,
unaware or unwilling
to act on its words.

Read this Quran
and wear it as your sacred gown,
A shield for your spirit,
or a crown upon your head.
Through the years, its golden message,
of love and peace will endure—
An eternal truth,
upon which God Himself has sworn.
