Quran is the book of guidance for all mankind. Holy Quran is the 4^th and last sacred book of Allah Almighty revealed on Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The Majesty of Allah’s verses is described in the Holy Quran itself. Allah says in Noble Quran :

‘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, 17:88)

Quran is the Holy Book based on the words of Allah (SWT). Allah Almighty Himself took the responsibility of its protection until the Day of Judgment. Allah says in Quran:

“Verily it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds, Which the True Spirit brought down upon your heart, [O Muhammad] so that you may be among those who preach.” (Quran, 26:192-26:194)

If someone wants to connect with Allah Almighty by heart then firstly he/she should connect with the words of Allah (SWT) the Glorious Quran in a way that it directly impacts the heart, because it’s the heart that believes in Allah Almighty.

The Quran has a refreshing, uplifting and revitalizing effect on a person who believes in Allah and wants to become closer to Him. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

“Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction.” (Quran: 4:82).

Besides religious benefits in the form of rewards, there are other benefits and blessings of Quran, which one misses by not reciting it on regular bases.

Some Rewards, Benefits, and Blessings of reciting Quran daily are mentioned below:

Understanding the purpose of the revelation of Holy Quran:

The first and the most important blessing missed by a person who is not reciting Quran on daily bases is the forgetfulness of the real purpose of the revelation of Quran. Although at the time of need and in case of any problem Muslims turn towards Quran for the solutions. The purpose of the revelation of Holy Quran is mentioned in Quran in the following way:

“A Book (the Quran) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may receive admonition.” (Quran, 38:29)

Chance of Communication with Allah Almighty:

Recitation of Quran is not the one way of communication with Allah Almighty. By reciting it in an attractive way it can be a chance of communication with Allah (SWT). We can take an example from the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) life:

“And when He (Prophet) recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, He glorified Him, the Great, and when He recited the verses that mention supplication, He supplicated, and when He recited the Verses that mention seeking Refuge of the Rabb He sought (His) refuge”(Muslim)

Quran will act as an intercessor on the Day of Judgment:

The beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:

“Read the Quran, for indeed it will come on the Day of Standing (Judgment) as an intercessor for its companions.” [Muslim]

Ten rewards on every letter recited from Quran:  

In one of hadith of Prophet (SAW) there is an explanation of getting rewards on every letter that someone recited from Holy Quran in these words:

“Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward, and this reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that ‘Alif, Laam, Meem’ (a combination of letters frequently mentioned in the Holy Quran) is a letter, rather I am saying that ‘Alif’ is a letter, ‘Laam’ is a letter and ‘Meem’ is a letter.”

(Tirmidhi). So try to increase the recitation of Holy Quran if you want to get the rewards in abundant from Allah Almighty.

Quran leads to Paradise:

Recitation of Holy Quran leads to paradise. In Holy Quran, it states in these words:

“Indeed the Quran guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.” (Quran: 17:9)

We can say that daily recitation of Holy Quran brings great rewards from Allah Almighty. Quran recitation makes us better Muslim every day. Other than that recitation of Holy Quran has some other effects on human nature like it can reduce perceived stress levels alongside reducing blood pressures and keeping heart rate under control.
