Recitation of the Holy Quran

Whoever recites the Holy Quran, 10 virtues for every letter are recorded in the record of deeds, 10 sins are wiped out and that person’s status is raised by 10 stations.  If someone recites it along with its meaning, then the reward is doubled.  If someone recites the Holy Quran in Salaat, sitting, that person is given 50 virtues per letter and if while standing, then for every letter 100 virtues are awarded.

 

O reciters of the Holy Quran! Treasure is being distributed for free, take it!  As much as your grasp allows!

 

If you desire that the way Muslims go to visit the Ka’aba, in the same way, angels should come to your grave, then listen to this Hadith, which Hadhrat Khateeb Baghdadi, Abu Na’eem Asbahani and Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti have recorded.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Abu Hurairah! Learn the Holy Quran and teach it to others! If you keep reading, listening and reciting the Holy Quran to others, then angels will come to your grave, the way people go to the Ka’aba.  (Jame’ Ul Ahadith Lis Suyuti, Hadith No. 42659; Kanz Ul Ummal, Hadith No. 29377)

 

What higher status do you want?

 

The Holy Quran is superior to the Ka’aba.  The Ka’aba was protected through the Ababeel birds, the Holy Quran is protected by the Lord Almighty Himself.

 

Close to the Day of Judgment, the Holy Quran and the Ka’aba, both will be removed from this world.  What we have to see is that when they will be lifted from this world, who will sever them from this world?  This itself will show you the difference in their status.

 

An Abyssinian slave will raze the Ka’aba to the ground.  The Holy Quran will be carried away by Hadhrat Jibreel (May peace be upon him).

 

Tell the truth! Such a great book - the Holy Quran! Was it given to us, so that we keep it in the rack and forget about it?

 

The person who does not value the bounty of Almighty Allah, tell me what should be the punishment for this?

 

Apart from the hereafter, that person will be debased and humiliated in this world also and will be embroiled in many difficulties.

 

O those who abandon the Holy Quran!  If you desire that your worldly affairs should be nice, then act upon the Holy Quran.  Otherwise, punishment will come in this world also.  This world will be destroyed like this and along with it the hereafter also.  The one day, we have to enter the grave.  There a window will be opened to the blessed grave of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  The Holy Quran will complain: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)! This rogue had left me in the world.  What will you answer to that?
