Nouman Ali Khan – Our Relationship with the Quran

About this lecture

In this lecture, Nouman Ali Khan explores the opening verses of Surah Al-Kahf to diagnose two interconnected crises facing modern Muslims: an intellectual surrender to scientific materialism and a deep spiritual disconnect from the Quran. Drawing on history, philosophy, and personal experience, he traces how the legacy of the European Enlightenment and the Protestant prosperity gospel have reshaped Muslim attitudes toward faith, success, and the Quran itself — reducing it from divine counsel to a cultural trinket. He closes with a passionate call to rebuild a living, conversational relationship with the Quran, especially in salat, in preparation for Ramadan.
