Why and how does one strengthen their connection with the Qur’an?

The Qur’an guides to that which is most upright and is a healing and mercy for the believers. To strengthen one’s connection with it, one must exert effort and strive against the self to approach it, recite it frequently, and ponder its meanings with a sincere intention and a firm belief that it is the word of Allah. This should be coupled with applying it in all aspects of life, adhering to its commands and prohibitions, and preparing to recite it with outward and inward purity and a clear heart.
