To begin with, there are many verses in The Holy Quran itself that underscore the majesty ofAllaah’sversesand the Quran itself – Allaahsays (interpretation of the meaning): Say: ‘If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another’”[Quran Al-Israa’ 17:88] Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rending asunder by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect.[Quran Al-Hashr 59:21] “This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqoon [the pious] [Quran Al-Baqarah 2:2] Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wa Aalehi Wasallam) says: ”Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah (good deed) from it (i.e. his recitation), and thehasanah is multiplied by ten.I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is (considered as) a letter, rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” [At-Tirmidhi, Ad-Darimi] Each letter of Qur’an rewarded 700 good deeds or more Those who struggle to read get DOUBLE THE REWARD! But for those who struggle with reciting the Qur’an they will recieve double the reward of a minimum of 1400 good deeds for each letter: Aa’ishah (RA), relates that the Prophet (SallAllaahu ‘alaihi Wa Aalehi Wa sallam) says: Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] This hadith proves that people who are not well versed in the Arabic languge or have other difficulties in reciting the Quran, get even a higher reward for reciting the Quran in Arabic for their extra effort. So they should never feel down about not being able to recite as well for they will be given double the reward. Also, we should know what The Holy Quran is about. It is the requirement of a Muslim to know the meaning of each and every alfaz, ayat, surah and Parah. So, always read The Holy Quran translated in your own language. Can you imagine how much reward we would gain for reciting the entire Qur’an just once? How about twice or more? Subhaanallah! So let us recite as much of the Qur’an as we can during Ramadan and in the normal days through the rest of our lives until our last breath. Let us get going and grab these immense rewards and the pleasure of Allah. For there is no time to waste!
