Welcome to Ramadan Quran Feast at Receiving Nur.
Receiving Nur’s motto is:
~Grounded Faith. Peaceful Surrender. Inspired Living~
*Grounded: too often faith is understood as blind belief, something to believe without evidence or without certainty. Yet, the Quran invites us to iman; faith that is grounded in enlightened reasoning & seeing the signs (ayat) all around us and within us.
*Surrender is another keystone. It is a choice that flows from grounded faith. It is transformative and brings peace.
*Inspired Living is living in the presence of God, guided through life as an inspired ‘abd. As we get to know and love our Creator & surrender, we will experience inspired living, inshallah.
Ramadan Quran Feast meant to offer a taste from the guidance of the Quran.
We also invite you to explore Ramadan resources & mindful Ramadan daily exercise at www.receivingnur.org
Receiving Nur CZcams channel has playlists of the retreats, study circles and lectures on the Quran.

Jazak Allah Khair for sharing your thoughts. Connecting the two talks, I see our perception as a rock. When we submit to the will of Allah then the rock splits asunder and we can start experiencing the manifestation of the names of Allah (SWT). A possible response to question about at what point perception changes could be the hadith cited by the second speaker.
