BENEFITS OF RECITING AND READING QURAN
1. Healing Cure for Your Heart and Soul
The holy book of the Quran is described as a potent
cure for the diseases lurking in the heart, like sadness, panic, and grudge.
Reading the sacred book of Islam returns your heart to a normal state when you
feel just inner peace, and your heart is light, like a feather, as Allah said
in surah Yunes, verse 57
O humanity! Indeed, there has come to you a warning
from your Lord, a cure for what is in the hearts, a guide, and a mercy for the
believers.
2. Quran Increases your faith in Allah
You’ll become closer to Allah when you read his
words and messages. Also, you’ll feel the powerful and exceptional impact of
the verses, especially when you understand the meanings behind each verse and read the Quran from
the bottom of your heart. So your faith in Allah will boost.
Allah mentioned this benefit in Surah al-Anfal:
The believers are only those who, when Allah is
mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses are recited unto
them, they increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone)
Al-Anfaal (8:2).
3. Source of Guidance and Light in our Daily Life
Why is reciting the Quran important? A new revert
to Islam answered this question by saying: “The Quran is a guide on how to
avoid calamities in life among many other things. In my personal opinion, I
feel all children and teens should be taught what is prescribed for us, Muslims
and non-Muslims, to teach them to be respectful adults and avoid economic and
social stressors,”.
Allah the Almighty sent His Book to humanity to
guide them to their happiness in this life and the Hereafter. He also sent them
a practical model to help them in their way of guidance through this Book.
4. Increase reward in this life and Hereafter
Quran is the complete Book for any person who wants
to live a peaceful and happy life. Recitation of the Quran regularly will
amplify one’s reward. Every letter recited from the Quran will give massive
amounts of compensation, which would help a believer enter Paradise.
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud narrated the Prophet
(Sallallahu ‘Alayhi wasallam) mentioned that “whoever recites one
letter/word from the book of Allah, then for him is a reward, and a
reward is multiplied by ten”
5. Knowledge
The Quran contains a wealth of knowledge about various subjects, including history, science, and ethics. Here’s one example describing embryonic development. “Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.” (Quran 23:14)
