Suras #82 was probably my favorite one because it explains the weather can be a sign and can tell us to do something revolving around God. Then lastly, in suras #107, it broadly defines how all actions lead to consequences which is very relevant when talking about faith. When reading these suras, I thought it was very similar to the Bible in the way that there are verses and different &#8220;books\/chapters&#8221; within it which actually made part of the Qur&#8217;an a little easier to understand. It is really cool to see differences amongst religious books and how it can help with comprehension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often times, there is some religious and\/or sacred reading or teaching that goes along with a certain religion or faith.
