Virtues of Reciting the Holy Qur’aan The Holy Qur’aan should be recited daily. Here we mention some Ahaadith with regards to the excellence of reciting the Holy Qur’aan: Recite the Holy Qur’aan for it will come as an intercessor for its reciter on the Day of Judgement. Allah Ta’ala says, If anyone finds no time for My remembrance and for begging My favours due to remaining engaged in the recitation of the Qur’aan, I shall give him more than what I give to all those who beg favours of Me. The superiority of the word of Allah over all other words is like the superiority of Allah over the entire creation. Learn the Qur’aan and recite it, because the example of one who learns the Qur’aan, reads it and recites it in Tahajjud is like an open bag full of musk whose fragrance permeates the entire place. And the person who has learned the Qur’aan but sleeps while the Qur’aan is in the heart is like a bag full of musk with its mouth closed. Whoever recites one letter of the Book of Allah, for him will be one hasanah (blessing); and one hasanah is worth ten others. I do not say that Alif Laam Meem is one letter, but Alif is one letter, Laam is one letter and Meem is one letter. Envy is not permitted except in respect of two persons - one whom Allah blesses with the recitation of the Qur’aan and he remains engaged in it day and night, and the other is one who is given abundance of wealth by Allah and he spends it (in Allah’s path) day and night. It will be said to the reciter of the Qur’aan (on the Day of Qiyaamah), Go on reciting the Qur’aan and continue ascending the stages of Jannah; and recite it in the same manner as you had been reciting it in the worldly life; your final abode will be where you reach when you read the last aayah of your recitation. One who recites the Qur’aan and is well versed in it (i.e. its recitation), will be in the company of angels who are scribes, noble and righteous; and one who falters in its recitation and has to exert himself, will get double the reward.
