Benefits of reading quranic Surahs, How to recite Quran

Isa bin Muhammad (Alaihir Rahmah) says that I once saw Abu Bakr bin Mujahid (Alaihir Rahmah) after his death in a dream reading Holy Quran. I asked, "You have died, how are you reciting," upon which he said, "After every Salah and finishing of the Quran, I would pray "O Allah, give me the Taufiq to recite holy Quran in my grave" and that is why I am praying." (Faizan-e-Sunnat)

Ahadith

The Holy Prophet said:
1) The best of you is he who learn Holy Quran and taught it to others. (Bukhari)
2) Undoubtedly, the heart gets rusted like metal gets rusted when water goes over it. The People asked, "How can they [hearts] be cleaned." The Prophet replied, "To remember death in abundance and to recite the Holy Quran." (Mishkat)
3) That chest which does not have any Quran in it is like an abandoned house. (Tirmizi, Darmi)
4) Whoever read Quran and memorized it and belived its' Halal to be Halal and its Haram to be Haram [i.e., accepted it commandments of Halal and Haraam], Allah will accept the intercession for such 10 people on from him whom Hell had already become Wajib. (Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah)
5) Whoever is an expert in reciting Holy Quran is with the Kiraman Katebeen and whoever reads the Quran with pauses and it is difficult for him, that is, his tounge does not move easily and he recites with difficutly for him there are two rewards. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
6) The one who has memorized Quran will be told to read and climb and recite with Tarteel (clear and distinct recitation) like you used to read with Tarteel in the Dunya; your place will be where you read your last Ayat. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
7) Allah says, "Whoever was kept busy with the recitation of Quran from my Zikr and asking me, I will give him better than those who I give to those who ask" and the excellence of the Word of Allah over all the other words is like the excellence of Allah over all his creation.
8) Learn Quran and read it because whoever learned the Quran and read it and did Qayam with it is like a bag filled with Musk whose fragrance is spread everywhere and whoever learned the Quran and slept that is he did not do Qiyamul Layl is like a bag which is filled with Musk and its mouth has been closed. (Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah, Nisaee)
9) Read the Quran when you heart feels affection and attachment and when your heart becomes bored stand up that is stop reciting Quran. (Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim)
10) Decorate the Quran with your (good) voices. (Mishkat)
11) O People of the Quran, do not make the Quran a pillow, that is do not be lazy and be careless, and read the Quran in the day and night like it is the Haq of Recitation, and spread it, that is, read with good voices or do not take compensation for it, and whatever is in it, reflect upon itso that you may attain success, and do not hurry in its reward because the reward for it is great (which will be given in the Akhirah). (Bahiqi)

Rewards for certain Surahs and Ayahs

The Holy Prophet said:
1) Surah Fatiha is a cure from every illness. (Darmi, Bahiqi)
2) Do not make your home a graveyard, the Shaitan runs from the home in which Surah Baqrah is recited. (Sahih Muslim)
3) Whoever memorized the first ten ayahs of Surah Kahf will be saved the Dajjal. (Sahih Muslim)
4) Whoever recites Surah Kahf on the day of Jummah, there will be a Nur brightened for him between two Jummahs.
5) Everything has a heart and the heart of the Quran is Surah Yaseen, whoever read Yaseen, Allah will write the reward of reading the Quran ten times from him. (Tirmizi and Darmi)
6) Whoever reads Surah Yaseen for the pleasure of Allah, his past sins will be forgiven so read this near your deceased. (Bahiqi)
7) (Reading) Qul hu WAllahu Ahad (Surah Ikhlas) is equal to [reading] one third of the Quran.
8) Whoever read Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salah, he will be under the protection and security of Allah. (Dailmi on the Authority of Sayeduna Ali)
9) (On the Day of Judgement) a caller will say O Recitor of Surah Inaam, come to Jannat for loving Surah Inaam and its recitation.
10) Surah Tabarak (Surah Mulk) saves one from Hell.
11) Whatever task is not begun with Bismillahir Rahamnir Raheem remains incomplete and unfinished.

Ettiquteets and Rules of Tilawat:
1) To memorize one Ayah of the Quran is Fard-e-Aeen on every Mukallaf Muslim; to memorize the entire Holy Quran is Fard-e-Kafyah; to memorize Surah Fatiha and a small Surah or something similar like three small Ayahs or one long Ayah is Wajib-e-Aeen. (Durre Mukhtar)
2) To read the Holy Quran while looking at it is better then reading without looking at it because in this case one touches the Holy Quran, sees the Holy Quran, and reads the Holy Quran and all this is Ibadat. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
3) To read the Holy Quran in the restroom and such places of impurity is not allowed (Na-Jaiz)
4) It is Haraam that everybody read the Holy Quran in a gathering loudly at once, however, it is necessary to read loudly enough so that one can hear what he/she is reading, that is, if there is no other distraction like noise. (Bhare-e-Shariat) Also, many children read together at once in a Madrsa loudly for learning purposes and this is okay.
5) It is better to read the Quran loudly that is if somebody praying, sleeping, or somebody ill will not be distracted. (Gunyah)
6) If somebody is reciting the Quran incorrectly then it is Wajib to tell him/her unless if one fears jealousy and hate. (Gunyah)
7) To memorize Holy Quran and then to forget it is a sin.
8) It is from the ettiqutes of respecting the Holy Quran that one does not put their back towards the Quran or spread their legs towards the Quran or sit in a high place when the Quran is beneath. (Bahare Shariat)
9) During recitation reflect on what you are reading. For example, when reading about punishment, one should repent; when reading about paradise, one should rejoice and pray for Jannah.
10) The way to do Sajdah of Tilwat is as follows: If one hears or reads the Ayat of Sajdah then he should stand with the intention of performing the Sajdah of Tilawat and saying Allahu Akbar should go into Sajdah and should recite the Tasbeeh of Sajdah atleast three times. Then, saying Allahu Akbar, one should stand up. To say Allahu Akbar both times is Sunnah. Similarly, to stand before and after the Sajdah is Mustahab. (Durre Mukhtar)

Lastly, learn how to read the Quran in the company of a Qualified Sunni Alim [and mature sisters must go to a Qualified Sister] who can teach them how to read as this is necessary. At times, while reciting many brothers and sisters unknowingly make mistakes in recitation which change the meaning which breaks their Salah. Likewise, send your children to Madrsas where they may learn how to recite the Quran with correct pronunciation and Qirat. If there is not a Madrsa in your town, then establish one. Knowledge of Islam leads one to Love Allah and helps to build a good moral character within the Muslim community. By learning arabic Quran, a Muslim saves his Salah, his Iman, and his Akhirah. Learning the Quran is not limited to just learning how to recite the Holy Book, rather, it is a life long process of learning how to recite it and understand what the Quran says. The noble Ulama have worked hard and written volumes of Tafseer which consists of Ahadith, Stories, and important points. After learning the Quran, we must practice it and spread the word into our family and community.

Reading Quran to seek the light to the right path

Reading Quran to seek the light to the right path. The holy Quran is the ultimate source and light for all Muslims. To seek this light of it one needs to read Quran. The importance of the text of Quran cannot be doubted or questions. At the same time, the significance of learning Quran with translation holds a great strength for a holy quran reciter.

There are number of issue in the daily life of Muslims, in which Muslims need to improve according to the Quran. Muslims have been practicing the same conventions from long time, without consulting Quran themselves. Unfortunately, many times Muslims ignore the negative side and only see the positive side of what has been written in the holy Quran.

Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said, “People used to ask the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) about good things, but I used to ask him about bad things because I was afraid that they might overtake me.” This is a great example to follow. Few common mistakes have been jot down below to let people know so that they can protect themselves and their dear ones from making these mistakes over the time. These mistakes are based upon few myths in the religion.

Myth 1: dua will be accepted if made the first glance of Ka’aba:

Many people have the wrong perception in their minds that their dua is more likely to be answered, if it is made at the first glance of the Kab’ah. Well there is no such evidence from the Sareeah, nor does any hadith indicate any such thing. Shaykh Sa’d al-Humayd said:

“This is not true; there has to be evidence for this to be true, because acts of worship should only be based on evidence. And that evidence must be saheeh in and of itself and it should be clear and unambiguous. And Allaah knows best.”

Myth 2: Kissing the black stone from far away and in the mid of tawaaf, holds a great importance!

Kissing the black stone is sunnah, indeed a beautiful one, yet kissing it from far off does not hold nay importance. People do it because they do not get a chance to go near the stone due to huge crowd. Those who have the chance of going near the stone, are lucky but those who couldn’t make it to the stone, should not mess up the crowd by standing in the mid of Tawaaf, while disrobing the flow of the crowd and throwing fling kisses at the stone. “It should be noted that the tawaaf remains perfectly valid without kissing the Black Stone. If one does not or cannot kiss the Black Stone. It is sufficient simply to point to it, saying “Allahu Akbar” when one comes parallel to it, although one may be at a distance from it.” [Fataawa ibn Baaz]

Myth 3: Shouting prayers is a good way

It is noticed that some people shout duas and prayers at the top of their voices during Tafaas and Sa’ee. Usually in this case the imam or the leader of the group says out a prayer, which the followers repeat in loud voice, this cause a lot of confusion amongst others. Its better that you recite your prayers, dues and holy Quran education, while keeping your voices low. Take small dua books with you if you cannot memorize these duas, so that you do not have to follow any one. Always remember that when you are praying, it is between you and your lord. “Each one of you is conversing with his Lord, so do not disturb one another or raise your voices over one another when reading [or he said] when praying”. [Abu Dawood, saheeh by al-Albaani]

her hand. then a bedouin came as if driven [by hunger] and he also took hold of
his hand. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Shaytan tries to make food lawful for himself by not having the name of Allah
Almighty mentioned over it. He brought this slavegirl to make it lawful for
himself and so I took hold of her hand. Then he brought this bedouin to make it
lawful for himself and I took hold of his hand. By the One in whose name my soul
is, his hand is in my hand with their hands." Then he mentioned the name of
Allah Almighty and ate.'" [Muslim]

is it?' He said, 'Abu Bakr.' I said, 'Hold on!' I went and said, 'Messenger of
Allah, it is Abu Bakr asking permission to come in.' He said, 'Let him in and
give him the good news of the Garden.' I went and said to Abu Bakr, 'Enter and

someone' - meaning his brother - 'He will bring him.' Then a man moved the gate

asking permission to come in.' He said, 'Let him in and give him the good news
of the Garden.' I went to 'Umar and said, 'Enter and the Messenger of Allah
gives you the good news of the Garden.' 'Umar went in and sat at the left side

'Affan.' I said, 'Hold on!' Then I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, and told him. He said, 'Let him in and give him the good news
of the Garden as well as an affliction which will befall him.' I came and said,
'Enter and the Messenger of Allah gives you the good news of the Garden as well
as an affliction which will befall you.' He entered and found the rim fully
occupied, so he sat opposite them on the other side." Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab
said, "I interpreted it as their graves." [Agreed upon]

There is an addition in a variant, "The Messenger of Allah commanded me to
guard the door." Also, "When 'Uthman was given the good news, he praised Allah
Almighty and then said, 'Allah is the One who is asked for help.'"

710. Abu Hurayra said, "We were sitting around the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Abu Bakr and 'Umar were among us in a
group and the Messenger of Allah rose up from among us and was slow in coming
back to us and we were afraid that something had happened to him while he was
not with us. We were alarmed and got up. I was the first to be alarmed and I
went out to look for the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and I came upon him in a garden belonging to the Ansar belonging to the
Banu'n-Najjar. I walked round it to see if I could find its door but I did not
find it. There was a brook which flowed into the garden from a well outside it.
A brook is a small stream and I crawled along it and got inside to where the
Messenger of Allah was. He said, 'Abu Hurayra?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of
Allah.' He said, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'You were among us and then you
got up and were slow coming back to us and we were afraid that something had
happened to you and became alarmed. I was the first to be alarmed and I came to
this garden and crawled along like a fox does. The others are behind me.' He
said, 'Abu Hurayra!' and he gave me his sandals. He said, 'Take these two
sandals of mine and give the good news of the Garden to whoever you meet in
front of this garden who testifies that "There is no god but Allah", his heart
being certain of it.'" He mentioned the full hadith. [Muslim]

711. Shamasa said, "We were with 'Amr ibn al-'As when he was near to death.
He wept for a long time and turned his face to the wall. His son began to say,
'Father, did not the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, give you the good news of that? Did not the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, give you the good news of that?' He turned his
face and said, 'The best we can prepare is the testimony of "There is no god but
Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." I have been through three stages.
I remember when there was no one with greater enmity for the Messenger of
Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, than I and I wanted nothing more
than to have power over him so I could kill him. If I had died in that state, I
would have been one of the people of the Fire. When Allah put Islam into my
heart, I came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said,
'Extend your right hand so that I can offer you allegiance.' He stretched out
his right hand and I withdrew my hand. He said, 'What is wrong, 'Amr?' I said,
'I want to make a condition.' He said, 'What is your condition?' I said, 'That I
be forgiven.' He said, 'Do you not know that Islam wipes out everything before
it and that emigration wipes out everything before it and that the pilgrimage
wipes out everything before it?' There was no one I loved more than the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and no one was more
esteemed in my eyes than him. I could not look him full in the face out of
respect for him. If I were to be asked to describe him, I would not be able to
because I could not look him full in the face. If I had died in that state, I
hope that I would have been one of the people of the Garden. Then we were put in
charge of things and I do not know what my state is in respect of them. When I
die, no female mourner nor fire should accompany me. When you bury me, then
throw the earth over me gently. Then stand around my grave for as long as it
takes to slaughter a camel and divide its meat so that I can be comforted by you
and see what answer I should make to the messengers of my Lord." [Muslim]

Chapter: On Honouring the
guest

Allah says, "Has the story reached you of the honoured guests
of Ibrahim? When they entered his dwelling and said, 'Peace! 'He said, 'Peace!
O people unknown to us.' So he slipped off to his household and brought a
fattened calf. He offered it to them. He exclaimed, 'Do you not then
eat?'" (51:24-27)
Allah says, "His people came running to him
excitedly. They were long used to committing evil acts. He said, 'O my people!
Here are my daughters. They are purer for you. So fear Allah and do not shame
me with my guests. Is there not one rightly-guided man among you?'"
(W11:77; H11:78)

his due, Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'A day and a night. Hospitality is for
three days, and what is beyond that is sadaqa for him.'" [Agreed upon]

In a variant of Muslim, "It is not lawful for a Muslim to stay with his
brother so long that he makes him fall into sin." They said, "Messenger of
Allah, how can he make him fall into sin?" He said, "By staying with him when he
has nothing to offer him."

me and I said, 'May your parents be bereaved! Why are you looking at me?' They
began to hit their hands on their thighs. Then I saw that they were trying to
make me be silent so I was silent. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, had finished praying - may my father and mother be his
ransom, I have never seen a better teacher before or after him - by Allah, he
did not rebuke me or hit me or abuse me. He merely said, 'It is not fitting to
have any speech from people in the prayer. It is only glorification and
proclaiming Allah great and reciting the Qur'an.' Or as the Messenger of Allah
said. I said, 'Messenger of Allah, I was until recently in a state of
pre-Islamic ignorance but Islam has now come to us. There are still men among us
who go to the soothsayers.' He said, 'Do not go to them.' I said, 'Among us
there are still men who follow omens.' He said, 'That is something which they
find in their breasts. They should not be influenced by them.'" [Muslim]

then he discloses her secret." [Muslim]

686. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar reported that when 'Umar's daughter Hafsa became a
widow, 'Umar said, "I met 'Uthman ibn 'Affan and offered him Hafsa. I said,
'Would you like to marry Hafsa bint 'Umar?' He said, 'I will think about it.' I
waited some days and then he met me and said, 'I do not think that I should
marry at this time. Then I met Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, 'Would you like to
marry Hafsa bint 'Umar?' Abu Bakr was silent and did not reply to me at all! I
felt that more than what had happened to me with 'Uthman. I remained some days
and then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked to marry
her and so I married her to him. Abu Bakr met me and said, 'Perhaps you were
upset at me when you proposed Hafsa to me and I did not answer you at all?' I
said, 'Yes I was.' He said, 'All that prevented me from answering you regarding
what you proposed to me was that I knew that the Prophet, may Allah bless him

Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. If the Prophet had
relinquished her, I would have accepted her.'" [al-Bukhari]

arrived on foot. Her gait was exactly like the gait of the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When he saw her, he welcomed her and
said, 'Welcome, my daughter.' Then he sat her down on his right or his left.
Then he whispered to her and she wept bitterly. When he saw her grief, he
whispered to her a second time and she smiled. I said to her, 'The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, singled you out before his wives
and spoke to you secretly and then you wept.' When the Messenger of Allah got
up, I asked her, 'What did the Messenger of Allah say to you?' She said, 'I
would not disclose the Messenger of Allah's secret.' When the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, I said, 'I adjure you by
the right I have over you, tell me what the Messenger of Allah said to you.' She
said, 'Now I will. When he whispered to me the first time, he told me that Jibril had recited the Qur'an to him once or twice every year and that now he
had made him recite it twice. (He said), "I think that my term is near, so be
fearful of Allah and be steadfast. I am the best forerunner for you." So I wept
as you saw. When he saw my grief, he whispered to me a second time and said,
"Fatima, are you not pleased to be the leader of the women of the believers or
the leader of the women of this community?" So I smiled as you saw.'" [Agreed
upon. This is the variant in Muslim]

may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent me on an errand.' She said, 'What
errand?' I said, 'It is a secret.' She said, 'Do not tell anyone the secret of
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.'" Anas said,
"By Allah, if I were to tell it to anyone, I would tell it to you, Thabit."

H4:59)

663. Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him

death of Jahiliyya."

Allah bless him and grant him peace, on a journey and we halted to pitch camp.
Some of us were mending wool tents and some of us were shooting arrows against

Messenger of Allah called out, 'The prayer will be done together.' So we
gathered round the Messenger of Allah and he said, 'There was no Prophet before
me but that it was a duty for him to direct his community to a good that he knew
for them and to warn them against an evil that he knew for them. The well-being
of this community of mine has been put at its beginning while the last of it
will be afflicted by trials and matters which you dislike. Seditions will come
and each will seem worse than the one before it. A sedition will come and the
believer will say, "This is my destruction," and then it will depart. And
another sedition will come and the believer will say, "This is it! This is it!."
Anyone who wants to be removed from the Fire and to enter the Garden and to have
death come to him while he believes in Allah and the Last Day should give to
other people what he wants to be given to himself. Whoever gives allegiance to
an Imam, let him give it with the clasp of his hand and the core of his heart.
Let him obey him if he can. If another comes to depose him then strike the neck
of that other.'" [Muslim]

669. Abu Hunayda Wa'il ibn Hujr said, "Salama ibn Yazid al-Ju'fi asked the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'O
Prophet of Allah! What is your opinion if amirs are put in charge of us who ask
us for their rights and deny us our rights? What do you command us to do?' He

obey. They owe what they are charged with and you owe what you are charged
with." [Muslim]

Allah for what is owed to you.'" [Agreed upon]
