Every spiritual journey starts with niyyah—a sincere intention. This wall introduces you to the heart of Quran City, inviting you to approach the Quran with an open heart and a seeking soul. Here, the foundation is laid, and the purpose becomes clear: to reconnect, to reflect, and to transform.

“Read, in the name of your Lord who created.” (96:1)

The IQRA Pedestal stands as the foundation of enlightenment, honoring the first revelation sent to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The command “Iqra” (Read) is not just an instruction to recite but a call to seek knowledge, reflect, and grow in wisdom.

This step reminds us that the Quran is a book of guidance, reason, and intellectual awakening. It urges believers to:

• Pursue knowledge as a means of understanding the world and deepening faith.
• Reflect on creation, recognizing the signs of Allah’s power and wisdom.
• Embrace learning as a lifelong duty, from spiritual wisdom to practical knowledge.

Life is best understood when we step back and reflect. From this terrace, we gaze upon the vast landscape of Quranic themes, contemplating the divine wisdom embedded in its verses.

This step encourages us to elevate our faith, striving not just to be Muslims by name, but to embody the true essence of Iman (faith) through our actions, sincerity, and unwavering connection to Allah.
