From the excerpt
Reading the Qur'an with Presence
Many of us learn to recite before we learn to sit with what we recite. The words are familiar, the movements are familiar, and yet the page can pass by without leaving much behind. This book begins from that ordinary experience rather than from an idealised picture of devotion.
Presence is not a mood that arrives unasked. It is built through small decisions: putting the phone in another room, choosing a portion short enough to finish calmly, and resisting the urge to measure a sitting by pages completed. The aim is to meet the text, not to clear a quota.
Each chapter ends with one practice. None of them requires special equipment or a long stretch of free time. Read a little, close the book, and carry one sentence into the day. Over weeks, those sentences begin to shape the way you listen.
