BENEFITS OF RECITING QURAN -E-PAK (THE HOLY BOOK OF ALLAH)

---

ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam

1 - Reading and reflecting over the Qur'aan fulfills an Islamic duty
So by reading and reflecting over the Qur'an, one fulfills an obligation and is rewarded for that. Upon fulfilling this obligation, the Qur'an then becomes a proof for him on the Day of Judgement!

2- The Qur'aan will be a proof for us on the Day of Judgement
So one of two things will occur with this proof, the Book of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. It will either be in your favor, a proof for you on the Day when you will need every single good deed, or it will be something standing against you, the very Speech of your Creator, a proof against you! Who could be saved from the terrors of that Day if Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala's own Speech is against him?!?!

3 - The Qur'aan will intercede for us on the Day of Judgement
The beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said: "Read the Qur'an, for verily it will come on the Day of Standing as an intercessor for its companions."

4 - Your status in this life will be raised
Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam has said: "Verily Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala raises some people by way of this Book and lowers others by it." [6]

5 - You will be from the best of the people
Hazrat Usman Radi Allahu anhu said: "The best of you are the ones who learn the Qur'aan and teach it to others"

6 - There are ten rewards for each letter you recite from the Qur'an
So increase your recitation of the Qur'an to gain these merits, and to gain the following merit as well...

7 - The recitors of the Qur'an will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels
Hazrat Aa'ishah Radi Allahu anha relates that the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam 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 will have TWICE that reward."

8 -The Qur'an will lead you to Paradise
The Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said:
"The Qur'an is an intercessor, something given permission to intercede, and it is rightfully believed in. Whoever puts it in front of him, it will lead him to Paradise; Whoever puts it behind him, it will steer him to the Hellfire."

9 - Your position in Paradise is determined by the amount of Qur'an you memorize in this life
The Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said:

"It will be said to the companion of the Qur'an: Read and elevate (up through the levels of the Paradise) and beautify your voice as you used to do when you were in the dunyaa! For verily, your position in the Paradise will be at the last verse you recite!"

May we read the Quran without fail and with the right intention ameen.
