This format reminds me of a book I have ….

The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

My daily reflections are focused on reading a few pages of the Quran each day. Some mornings or evenings it may have one verse that sticks out and sets the tone for the day or next morning and some days I may feel out of synch.

With these meditations I realise the reflections are more purposeful and focused. A thought for each day imbuing the Quran to our daily life.

Much appreciated. Peace.

I have great admiration for Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius — both Stoics — and mention them in the present working text of the Preface: https://samgerrans.substack.com/p/meditations.

It is my hope, over time, to produce something based in the Qur'an alone which can serve in the way you mention, as well as a platform for deeper personal study and reflection.

Peace,

Sam Gerrans
