   • Helps them to feel like good muslims as they're following direct word of Allah
   • Feel reassured that god is always watching over them
   • Fear because of gods omnipresence, nowhere to hide from god
     • The concept that god is everywhere

2. Actions

   • They'll bring their children up differently according to how the Qur'an teaches
   • Less likely to shirk because its a constant reminder of Allah and the way they should live their lives
     • Shirk is an act of sin
   • the Qur'an teaches about AKhirah therefore Muslims will act how Allah teaches in preparation for their judgement
     • Life after death

3. Communtiy

   • As every Muslim is following the same holy book and teaching it could strengthen the Ummah and create a sense of equality
     • Muslim community nationally or internationally
   • Can create divisions between different groups of muslims as they may interpret the teachings of the Qur'an differently for examply Sunni and Shia
