“The people before you saw the Quran as letters [messages] from their Lord; they would ponder over them by night and implement them by day.”
(Imam al-Ghazali in Ihya’ Ulum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), Vol. 1, p. 285)
“One should feel that he is the one being addressed in every statement of the Quran… he should recite as a servant reads the book of his Master, who has written it for him to meditate upon.”
