Sayings of the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.):
“The one who recites the Qur’an and the one, who listens
to it, have an equal share in the reward”
(Mustadrak
ul Wasa’il volume 1 page 193)
“The best among you is the one who learns the Qur’an and
then teaches it to others.”
(Al-Amali of Shaikh Tusi volume 1 page 5)
“These hearts rust just as iron rusts; and indeed they
are polished through the recitation of the Qur’an”
(Irshad
al-Qulub page 78)
“Nothing is harder for Shaytan to bear than a person who
recites the Qur’an by looking at the pages (of the Qur’an)” (Thawab-ul-Amal page
231)
“One who recites ten Ayahs of the Qur’an every night will
not be counted among the negligent ones (Ghafilin); and one who recites fifty
Ayahs of the Qur’an will be written as those who remember Allah (Dhakirin); and
one who recites one hundred Ayahs will be written down as the obedient and
worshipper of Allah (Qanitin)”
(Thawab-ul- Amal page 232)
“I advise you to recite the Qur’an and remember Allah,
for surely the Qur’an will remember you (do your dhikr) in the Heavens and it
will be a Divine Light (nur) for you on the Earth.”
(Al-Khisal page 525)
“Whoever recites the first four Ayahs of Sura Al-Baqarah,
Ayatul Kursi (Ayahs 255 to 257 upto Hum Fiha Khaledun), and the last three
Ayahs of the same Sura, will not see any bad or sorrow in his life or his
wealth; Shaytan will not come near him; and he will not forget the Qur’an”
(Thawab-ul-A’mal page 234)
“Surely this Qur’an is the rope of Allah, and a manifest
Light (Nur), and a beneficial cure. Therefore, busy yourselves with its
recitation, for Allah-the Mighty and Glorious- grants the reward of ten good
deeds for very letter recited.”
(Bihar-ul-Anwar volume 92 page 19)
Sayings of the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (a.s.):
“Learn the Qur’an for it is the best of narrations, and
understand it thoroughly for it is the best blossoming of the hearts" (Nahjul Balagha
Sermon 110)
“Recite the Qur’an and seek assistance from it for surely
Allah will not punish one who has memorized it.” (Bihar-ul-Anwar volume 92 page 19)
Sayings of the Infallible Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.):
“Three things will complain to Allah: A deserted Masjid
in which the people of the town did not recite salaat; an Alim who was among
the ignorant ones (who did not make use of him); and the Qur’an which was not
read and was left for dust to collect on it.”
(Usul Kafi volume 2 page 613)
“Surely the Qur’an is not to be read in a rush or very
quickly but recited slow and measured portions. Whenever you reach an Ayah
which talks about Heaven, then stop and ask from Allah for the bounties of
Heavens. And whenever you reach an Ayah which speaks about Hell, then stop and
seek protection from Allah from Hell Fire (and the punishment)”
(Usul Kafi volume 3 page
301)
