Benefits of Reciting the Quran

The Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w in the month of Ramadan for us to seek knowledge, reflect and ponder upon it.

Have you ever heard of this famous verse?

شَهرُ رَمَضانَ الَّذي أُنزِلَ فيهِ القُرآنُ هُدًى لِلنّاسِ وَبَيِّناتٍ مِنَ الهُدىٰ وَالفُرقانِ

“The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion”
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:185)

Here are 5 reasons why we should recite the Quran:

1. You will get rewarded for every letter that you read from the Quran.
2. Quran Calms the Soul.
3. You stutter and can't get it right? No problem. You will be rewarded for that too!
4. Quran is a Source of Guidance.
5. The Quran is made easy for us.

While it is recommended that we strive to understand the Quran, this does not mean that we can interpret the Quran once we read its translation on our own. We certainly need guidance from credible asatizah to explain the tafsir of the Quran. And when you make an effort to read and understand the Quran, Allah s.w.t. will open the gates of knowledge and wisdom for you to understand His beautiful words! Insya’Allah.

So what are you waiting for? Let us take this opportunity to appreciate the gift of the Quran. Learning the Quran is a lifelong journey, never stop learning and keep improving yourself as a Muslim!

“Everybody has to start somewhere. Perfection doesn't happen right away.”

May Allah s.w.t. guide us and ease our path in seeking knowledge.
