The Journey of Attunement: Writing and Reciting the Divine Words for Spiritual Growth

Step 2: Cultivating the Body and Soul Through Writing Surah Yasin and the Quran

Begin with Surah Yasin: Writing the Heart of the Quran

After gaining control over writing the Arabic alphabet and reciting the 99 Names of Allah, we move on to Surah Yasin, the heart of the Quran. This step is not about memorization or the beauty of your handwriting—it’s about attuning your body, heart, and mind to the divine words. Writing Surah Yasin helps you build upon your existing skills, improving your penmanship and familiarity with the Arabic script.

The Process:

1. Write Surah Yasin in Arabic and your native tongue, carefully paying attention to the meaning of each verse.

2. Begin by writing a set number of verses each day, based on your familiarity with the text and time available. You can start with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, or 15 verses depending on your ability and commitment.

3. Time Limit: If this is your main study for the day, aim for a 45-minute session, which is sufficient for the mind to focus, deepen engagement, and maintain momentum.

4. As you progress, focus on improving both the physical act of writing and your spiritual connection with the verses.

Attuning Your Body Like an Instrument:

The process of writing the Quranic verses, especially Surah Yasin, is cultivating your body and nervous system. Much like tuning an instrument, your body and mind need to be tuned to these divine words. At this stage, it doesn’t matter if the handwriting is not perfect—the key is the interaction with the script and the meaning behind the words. The more you engage with this process, the more your heart will open, and the more attuned you will become to the divine qualities embedded in the Quran.

Step 3: Expanding to the Quran’s Last Part (Juz' Amma)

Once you have completed writing Surah Yasin with consistency, move on to Juz' Amma, which is the 30th Part of the Quran. Start from the back of the Quran and work towards Surah An-Naba.

1. Engage with smaller sets of verses—if you wrote 15 verses for Surah Yasin, aim for 13 verses in Juz' Amma, and if you wrote 1 verse, then stay at that level for this portion of the Quran.

2. This method encourages gradual progression and maintains the balance between engagement and depth of understanding. As the process becomes more familiar, you can increase the number of verses written each day, pushing yourself to engage with more complex sections of the Quran.

Connecting the Heart and Mind

This practice of writing the Quran in a structured, gradual way is a method of integration—it allows you to connect your heart with your mind and your body. As you engage with the words of Allah through writing and reciting, your third eye (intuition) and imagination become more refined, helping to foster spiritual growth.

Step 4: Continual Growth with the Holy Quran

As you continue your journey through the Quran, remember that the process is less about speed and perfection and more about consistent engagement. The daily practice of writing, reciting, and reflecting upon the Quran is a powerful way to nourish your soul, mind, and body with the timeless wisdom of the divine.
