Quran & Meditation?
In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the succession of night and day, there are signs for men of understanding; those that remember God when standing, sitting, and lying down, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying): ‘Lord, You have not created these in vain. Glory be to You! Save us from the torment of the fire, Lord. (Quran 3:191)

Muslims can be more mindful
By being more mindful we can improve our acts of worship
![Page 12: Meditation for Muslims](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a64a10c7f8b9a82568b4e33/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to be more mindful?
Just a way to be present (body, mind, and spirit), in the moment in whatever you’re doing without being judgmental. It helps us ride the roller coaster of emotions we go through on a daily basis and helps to fight stress and find that inner calm we all strive for. Even when we may not feel under pressure we run through life on Auto-Pilot

How to be more mindful?
In a world of increased distractions and demands taking time out for prayer, meditation, yoga is a way to connect with not only our inner-self but with God, where-in lies ultimate peace. Only once we are willing to be accepting of ourselves can we accept others.

How to be more mindful?
It’s not very complicated, set some time aside for the activity, go slow, forget the past and the future, all you have is now, be patient, find a teacher/mentor, and continue to learn and grow.

How to be more mindful?
