Reciting the Qur\u2019an with correct tajweed (rules of recitation) fills the heart with solace, the soul with peace and the house with blessings. It makes you feel close to Allah, and alleviates any sorrow or grief due to its immediate stress-relieving effects. Daily recitation of a few pages of the Qur\u2019an, especially after Fajr prayer, is the best remedy for keeping oneself on the path of righteousness tied to the rope of Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Reciting<\/strong>
    Reciting the Qur\u2019an with correct tajweed (rules of recitation) fills the heart with solace, the soul with peace and the house with blessings. It makes you feel close to Allah, and alleviates any sorrow or grief due to its immediate stress-relieving effects. Daily recitation of a few pages of the Qur\u2019an, especially after Fajr prayer, is the best remedy for keeping oneself on the path of righteousness tied to the rope of Allah.
    Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn Al- As (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
    \u201cThe one who is devoted to the Qur\u2019an will be told on the Day of Resurrection: Read and ascend (in ranks). Recite as you used to recite when you were in the first life (dunia). Your rank will be at the last verse (ayah) you recite.\u201d (Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi)<\/li>
  2. Reading Translation and Exegesis<\/strong>
    Reading is one of the most fulfilling pastimes, pursued by millions with zeal, and what better to read on a relaxing day than the Qur\u2019an or its explanation? A good understanding of reality can be obtained if the Qur\u2019an is understood by reading its translation and exegesis (tafsir), written by a knowledgeable and specialized scholar, as exegesis helps reveal the secrets of the Qur\u2019an and sheds light on the hidden meanings of the words, verses and surahs.<\/li>
  3. Memorizing<\/strong>
    Abdullah Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, \u201cHe, who does not memorize any part from the Qur\u2019an, is like a ruined house.\u201d (At-Tirmidhi)
    Having Divine words ensconced in your heart enables you to hum them to yourself when feeling low and to stand in long deep supererogatory prayers at night. Moreover, it makes you feel especially close to Allah when, as you witness incidents in daily life, He replays relevant Qur\u2019anic words in your mind granting you insight into the reality of the life of this world.<\/li>
  4. Attentive Listening<\/strong>
    Whether it\u2019s listening to a Qur\u2019an recitation or to a scholarly lecture explaining it, whilst traveling in a car, surfing the internet, or attending a live class at an institute or a mosque, one of the best ways of reflecting upon the Qur\u2019an is listening to it intently when someone reads it and explains it aloud to you. Any student of Islamic knowledge would testify to the \u201con-high\u201d feeling of enlightenment that follows a Qur\u2019an class.<\/li>
  5. Acting upon It<\/strong>
    The Qur\u2019an should be adhered to in our daily life; it is a Book sent as guidance for all mankind. Therefore, all other acts of worship related to the Qur\u2019an would be of little avail; rather, they could actually bear witness against Muslims on the Day of Judgment, if they did not act upon its commands, or did not intend to act upon them when pursuing its knowledge.
    From fulfilling covenants, taking loans, leaving behind inheritance, responding to evil with good, tying the nuptial knot, and calling to Islam; to principles of raising pious children and giving charity \u2013 the Qur\u2019an provides complete guidance to Muslims, on how to lead a peaceful life individually and communally.<\/li>
  6. Teaching It to Others<\/strong>
    Uthman Ibn Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: \u201cThe best among you is the one who learns the Qur\u2019an and teaches it (to others.)\u201d (Al-Bukhari)
    It sounds very fancy to say, \u201cI teach the Qur\u2019an\u201d, but in reality, propagating the Qur\u2019an can be as simple as inviting a few friends over for tea, and reading a number of ayahs out to them in Arabic, followed by translation and exegesis over a period of half an hour. Everyone can then discuss how to apply what they have learned to their lives.
    The short surahs of the Qur\u2019an may be covered, or it may be taught chronologically in its entirety. The point is to open up the Qur\u2019an for da`wah and reflection on a regular basis. The benefits of this activity \u2013 teaching it to others \u2013 outweigh those of reflecting upon it in seclusion.<\/li>
  7. Becoming One of Ahlul-Qur\u2019an<\/strong>
    The bond that binds Muslims together on the basis of studying the Qur\u2019an together is indescribable. It is sincere and unworldly love, solely for the sake of Allah; one that transcends petty motives or gains.
    The Qur\u2019an has filled my life with vibrant colors, enriched my soul with its beneficial knowledge, and guided me to feel the solace of being close to Allah, my Creator. Wouldn\u2019t you also want to go through that beautiful experience?<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
