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.
