Publisher Description: If we memorize the Quran without changing our hearts then what is the point? Ya Seen: a hifdh journey in America addresses this central question through an endearing family, first introduced in Umm Muhemmed's A Qur'aanic Odyssey: Towards Juz Amma. Once again, we meet familiar characters, including Ibrahim, Amna, Khadija, and Abdurrahman. This time, however, it is amidst Ramadan and the memorization of Surah Ya Seen. The goal of the story is not to teach Surah Ya Seen but instead to show how learning the surah may unfold in a 21st century Western family with many of the same challenges that we all face. Hifdh al Quran (namely memorizing and striving to preserve the Quran) is both foreground and background in the story. |
