Reward for Reading the Whole Quran

One of the traits of a practicing Muslim is reading the Qur’an. No doubt, there are numerous rewards for reading the whole Quran. Whoever recites the Quran, Allah Almighty bestows His mercy upon him. In Surat Al-Mazamil, Allah commands His Prophet to read the holy Quran:

“And recite the Quran ˹properly˺ in a measured way.”

Uthman (R.A.) said that the Prophet (PBUH) said,

“The best of you are the ones who learn the Qur’an and teach it to others.” (Al-Bukhari)

So, every person should increase Quran Recitation as much as possible to gain these merits and other benefits.

Dr. Mohammad Qatanani, Professor at the Islamic American University and Imam of the Islamic Centre of Passaic County in New Jersey, stated while responding to a question that Reciting the Qur’an is the best act of worship after the obligations. Indeed, according to your relationship with it, the Qur’an will be a witness either for or against you. Read More »

Oldest Pieces of Quran Discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa, Yemen

The Oldest Pieces Of Quran were discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa’s cellars. According to the Daily Bugün, Tayyar Altkulaç, a former Turkish Religious Affairs Director, has inspected the oldest Quran pieces discovered in Sanaa’s Great Mosque cellars in Yemen.

When the cellar door was opened, the workers discovered the Quran pieces. Why are they called pieces? Because in the early periods of Islam, there were not too many Qurans and people used to read them by cutting them into fragments. Over time, they were worn out and transmitted from one person to another.

The number of Qurans increased after writing was invented, and these fragments were compiled and stored in a place. Snakes emerged from the cellar when the door was opened. Water entered through a window in the cellar. To emphasize the discovery’s significance, Altkulaç stated that this is why some of these fragments decomposed and got dirty. Read More »
