10 Reasons Why to Learn Quran

The Holy Quran is the word of Allah Almighty. The construct it has, the meaning it carries are unmatchable and not to be found in any other book of the world. In addition to the depth of meaning that the verses of Quran carry, there is also its sublime language that it makes it apart from any of the writings in the world in general and Arabic in particular. The Noble Quran is the Divine book towards which Muslims turn when they face any problem because the Quran has the solution to every problem and it is the guidance for all aspects of life.

Allah Almighty said about Quran: “This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqoon [the pious].” (Quran, 2:2)

Quran recitation brings many rewards and blessings from Allah (SWT). Muslims will earn great rewards for reciting the Quran and implementing it in their daily life routine. In Hadith Prophet Muhammad (SAW) stated that: “Whoever recites ten Ayahs (verses) in Qiyaam will not be recorded as one of the forgetful. Whoever recites a hundred Ayahs (verses) in Qiyaam will be recorded as one of the devout, and whoever prays a thousand Ayahs (verses) in Qiyaam will be recorded as one of the muqantareen (those who pile up good deeds).” (Abu Dawood)

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has declared the importance of learning the Quran in the hadith: “The one who reads a single letter from the Book of Allah will be rewarded with one good deed. (Know that) A good deed is multiplied ten times over. I do not say Alif Laam Meem is one letter. Verily, Alif is one letter, Laam is one letter, Meem is one letter.” (Tirmidhi)
