Allah talks to you if you listen closely, and His messages are the ones you want to listen to.
This Ramadan dont just read the Quran to say "I finished reading the Quran" but take your time and read it with serious contemplation and soon you will find yourself in love with it..subhnAllah.
When I didnt really understand the arabic of the Quran I used to read the arabic and then english and alhumdAllah today when I hear the recitation I can understand it, it makes contemplation so much easier. I suggest for anyone who doesnt understand to take this step of going back and forth from arabic to english and soon Allah will give you the ability to understand inshAllah.
Make the reciation of the Quran your ultimate enjoyment for your ears...listen to it the way you would listen to your favorite song but know that these verses are truly from God
One of my favorite recitations...

Ibn al-Qayyim says:
‘There is nothing more beneficial for the heart than reading the Qur’ān with contemplation and reflection. The Qur’ān encompasses all the levels of the travelers, the conditions of the workers, and stations of those possessing knowledge.
It is the Qur’ān that generates love, desire, fear, hope, repentance, reliance, pleasure, entrustment, gratitude, patience and the rest of the different states that are life to the heart and perfection of it.
‘There is nothing more beneficial for the heart than reading the Qur’ān with contemplation and reflection. The Qur’ān encompasses all the levels of the travelers, the conditions of the workers, and stations of those possessing knowledge.
It is the Qur’ān that generates love, desire, fear, hope, repentance, reliance, pleasure, entrustment, gratitude, patience and the rest of the different states that are life to the heart and perfection of it.
Likewise, it repels all the rebuked characteristics and actions that cause the corruption and ruin of the heart. If people were to possess a realization of what the recitation of the Qur’ān with contemplation contains, they would devote themselves to it at the expense of everything else.
When the person reads it with reflection and he comes across an āyah (verse) that he is in need of for curing his heart, he repeats it, even if he does so a hundred times or the whole night.
Hence, to recite a single āyah of the Qur’ān with contemplation and reflection is better than reciting the Qur’ān to completion without any contemplation.
It is also more beneficial for the heart and more conducive to attaining īmān (faith) and tasting the sweetness of the Quran
