The Glorious Qur'an

The Quran is the divine book of Allah which every believer should hold fast to in their day to day lives. Below are some Ahadith on the virtues and benefits attaching oneself to the Glorious Qur'an.

The best of you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches it. (Bukhari)

There is no envy (acceptable) except in two cases: a person whom Allah has given then Qur'an and recites it throughout the night and throughout the day. And a person whom Allah has given wealth, that he gives out throughout the night and throughout the day. (Bukhari, Muslim)

Whoever reads a letter from the book of Allah, will receive a hasanah (good deed) from it (i.e his recitation), and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Meem is considered as a letter, rather Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Meem is a letter. (Tirmidhi, Darimi)

Read the Qur'an. For verily it will come forth on the day of resurrection as an intercessor for its readers. (Muslim)

The Qur'an is an intercessor (which by Allah's permission) intercedes, and an opponent (which is) truthful. He who appoints it as his leader, (then it) will lead him to Paradise. And he who puts it behind him, (then it) will lead him to the fire. ( Bayhaqi, Tabarani)

Fasting and the Qur'an will intercede for the slave on the day of resurrection. Fasting will say, ' Oh my Lord! i prevented him from food and desires, so accept my intercession for him. ' The Qur'an will say, ' I prevented him from sleep during the night, so accept my intercession for him. ' The Prophet peace be upon him said, ' And they will (be allowed) to intercede. (Ahmad, Tabarani)

The likeness of the believer who reads the Qur'an is like that of citron; its taste is delicious and its scent pleasant. And the likeness of the believer who does not read the Qur'an is like that of a date; its taste is delicious, yet it has no scent. And the likeness of a hypocrite who reads the Qur'an is like that of basil; its scent is pleasant, yet its taste is bitter. And the likeness of a hypocrite that does not read the Qur'an is like that of a colocynth; its taste is bitter and it has no scent. (Bukhari, Muslim)

Read the Qur'an, put it into practice, do not abandon it, do not put grudges (upon others) through it, and do not eat and gain wealth through it. ( Ahmad, Tabarani)
