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.
There are a lot of Quranic verses and Hadiths that show the benefits and rewards of reading the whole Quran. Here we’ll discuss some of the benefits:
Forgiveness and Mercy From the Almighty Allah
Allah blesses His endless mercies and forgives those who recite the Quran Kareem. Allah praises those who read and recite the holy Quran saying:
“Surely those who recite the Book of Allah, establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them—secretly and openly—˹can˺ hope for an exchange that will never fail,* so that He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. He is truly All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative. He actually is Most Forgiving and All-Forgiving.”
The verse is concluded with Allah’s name, “Al-Ghafoor.” That proves that those who read the Quran will experience Allah’s mercy and forgiveness.
Multiplying the Reward
A Muslim will be rewarded for every letter he/she reads. Allah Almighty will multiply the reward of those who recite the Quran Majeed:
On the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud (R.A.), the Prophet – PBUH – said: “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah has a reward, and every reward would be multiplied ten times. I do not say Alif Laam Meem is a letter, But Alif is a letter and Laam is a letter” Narrated by Al-Albani, in Sahih Al-Tirmidhi.
Getting the Highest Rank of Paradise
One of the rewards of reading the whole Quran Kareem is it ranks a person in Paradise. The person’s rank would be at the last verse he/she reaches.
On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with them both, he said: The Messenger of Allah – PBUH – said, “The one who was devoted to the Quran will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully as he recited carefully when he was in the world, for he will reach his abode when he comes to the last verse he recites.” Narrated by Al-Albani, in Sahih Abi Dawood.
Intercession on the Day of Resurrection
One of the benefits of reading the noble Quran is its intercession on the Day of Resurrection. It has been proven that reading the Noble Quran is a reason for obtaining intercession on the Day of Resurrection.
On the authority of Abu Umamah Al-Bahili, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, PBUH, saying “Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim)
Obtaining the Rank of the Honorable Angles
By reading the holy Quran regularly, a person can achieve the rank of honorable and righteous Angles:
In another hadith, `Aaishah (R.A.) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he/she will be rewarded twice.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Blessing in this Life and the Hereafter
One of the greatest benefits of reciting the holy Quran is to get the blessings in this life and the Hereafter:
On the authority of Abu Dharr – may Allah be pleased with him – he said: “I said: O Messenger of Allah, advise me. He said: “You have to fear Allah that is most important.” I said: O Messenger of Allah, advise me more. He said: “You should read the Quran, for it is a light for you on earth and a so much reward for you in the sky.”-Narrated by Ibn Hibban, and classed as Hasan by Al-Albani-
