A Light in the World and Treasure in the Hereafter

Hazrat Abu Zar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports, “I once asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), ‘O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), please give me some advice.’ Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, ‘Hold firm onto taqwa, for it is the head (highest) of all deeds.’ I then said, ‘O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), please give me more advice.” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, ‘Hold firm onto the recitation of the Qur’aan Majeed, for it is a light for you in this world and a treasure for you in the Hereafter.’” [1]

A Means of Purifying and Cleansing the Heart

Hazrat Ibnu Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Indeed these hearts rust just as iron rusts when water comes into contact with it.” The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) asked, “O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), what is the way to cleanse it?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “Remembering death often and reciting the Qur’aan Majeed.” [2]

Angel Safeguarding the Reward

Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “When a person uses the miswaak and then stands to perform salaah, an angel stands behind him and listens attentively to his recitation of the Qur’aan Majeed. The angel then draws close to him until it places its mouth upon his mouth. Whatever portion of the Qur’aan Majeed he then recites is protected in the belly of the angel (and thereafter secured by Allah Ta‘ala). Hence, ensure that you cleanse your mouth before reciting the Qur’aan Majeed.” [3]

Allah Ta‘ala Listening with Pleasure to the One Reciting

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Allah Ta‘ala does not listen to anything (with so much pleasure) as He listens to a Nabi with a melodious voice who is reciting the Qur’aan Majeed aloud.” [4]

Du‘aas Answered On Completing the Qur’aan Majeed

Hazrat Irbaadh bin Saariyah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who performs his fardh salaah (in the prescribed manner), then for him is a du‘aa that will surely be answered. The one who completes the Qur’aan Majeed, then for him is a du‘aa that will surely be answered.” [5]

Angels Seeking Forgiveness for the One who Completes the Qur’aan Majeed

Hazrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) mentioned, “When a person completes the Qur’aan Majeed in the evening, the angels seek forgiveness for him until the morning, and when he completes the Qur’aan Majeed in the morning, the angels seek forgiveness for him until the evening”. [6]

Action Most Beloved to Allah Ta‘ala - Continuously Reciting the Qur’aan Majeed

Hazrat Ibnu Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that a person once asked Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “Which action is most beloved to Allah Ta‘ala?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, ‘The action of the haal and murtahil (the traveller who after stopping during his journey, recommences his journey)’. The man inquired, ‘O Rasullulah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), by saying the action of the haal and murtahil (the traveller who stops during his journey and then recommences his journey), who are you referring to?’ Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “I am referring to the reciter of the Qur’aan Majeed who (during his journey of reciting the Book of Allah Ta‘ala) recites from the beginning of the Qur’aan Majeed till he reaches the end, and when he reaches the end (of the Qur’aan Majeed), then he recommences (the Qur’aan Majeed from the beginning).” [7]
