WE SHOULD READ THE HOLY QURAN FOR MANY REASONS

 

WE SHOULD READ THE HOLY QURAN FOR MANY REASONS, IN FACT MORE THAN 20 REASONS, BUT THAT IS WHAT I HAVE COMPILED:

 

1- For it to intercede for us on the day of judgement. The prophet (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi
wasallam) said, “Recite the Qur’an for it will come as an intercessor for its people on
the day of judgement” [Reported in Muslim]

 

2- So that we can increase in reward. Abdullah ibn Mas’ud narrated the prophet
(SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) mentioned that “whoever recites one letter/word from
the book of Allah, then for him is a reward, and a reward is multiplied by ten”
[Reported in Tirmidhi].

 

3- For it to fill our heart. The prophet (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “The man
who has nothing of the Qur’an inside him is like a ruined house” [Reported in
Tirmidhi]

 

4- For us to memorise and act on every verse we recite so that we can ascend in
Jannah. The prophet (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “It is said to the one who
recites the Qur’an, recite and ascend, and read like you used to read in the dunya,
for your place (in Jannah) is at the last verse you recite” [Reported in Abu Dawud
and Tirmidhi]

 

5- For it to remove the illnesses from our hearts and cure our bodies, and for mercy
to envelope us. Allah says in Surah Al-Israa’ [17:82] {We send the Qur’an as healing
and mercy for those who believe}
