Reciting the Qur’an daily has a great reward for those who read it. Even the recitation of one letter of the Qur’an carries a great reward. yes! You read it correctly, not a single surah, not a single verse, not a single word, will give you the reward for reciting each letter of the Qur’an.
The Prophet (PBUH) said,
“Whoever recites the entire chapter, (Surah Al Ikhlas) Qul Hua Alahhu Ahad (112:1) ten times, Allah will build a palace for him in Paradise.”
“Whoever reads – (Surah al-Kafiroon) Qul Ya ayyuha Al kafirron – then it counts as a quarter of the Holy Quran and whoever reads – (Surah Al Ikhlas) Qul Hua Alahhu Ahad – it counts as a third of the Quran for him.”
“Whoever reads a hundred verses in one night, it will be written as if he stood to pray the entire night.”
“Whoever reads Surah Kahf on Jumu’ah (Friday), a light will be shone for him between the two Jumma’h”
2- Highest Ranks and Reward for Parents
Parents have the right to be amazed and amazed by this great bounty that they received from where they do not expect, when these two parents get the highest ranks and rewards that are more precious and more valuable than the world and what is in it, they ask in astonishment: Where do we get such and we do not have – as far as we know – What kind of work and obedience qualifies us to win this great dignity? They answer: By teaching your son the Qur’an, being patient with it, and sincerely advising him. Thus, the owner of the Qur’an is one of the most dutiful of people towards his parents.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
“Whoever recites the Quran and learns it and then acts upon it is adorned with a crown of light on the Day of Judgement, its radiance is like the radiance of the sun. His parents are adorned with two jewels that the world could never contain, so they say ‘Why have we been adorned as such?’ It will be said, ‘For what your child has acquired of Quran.”
Quran memorization is the best gift parents can give to their children. It is the best present children can give to their parents. The parents of Hafiz will be given a special honor on the day of judgment. Quran memorization honors the parents. A Quran hafiz child is a Sadaqah Jariyah (Permanent Charity) for his parents. He is a source of Shafaa’h (Intercession) for his family.

Reading the Quran gives infinite reward. Allah commanded his servants to read the Quran and follow its instructions in the best way possible. Reading the Quran is the simplest way to earn and multiply rewards.
The Prophet (PBUH) said:
“Whoever recites a letter of the book of Allah (Quran) will be credited with a good-deed “Hasanah” and a good-deed is multiplied into ten Hasanat. I do not say that the word: Alif Laam Meem is counted as a word letter. Rather, Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter and Meem is a letter.”

God is aware of our problems, difficulties, and shortcomings. He never leaves us deserted. Reading and reciting the Qur’an preserves the power of Tawakkul.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
“Whoever’s anxiety increases, let him say: ‘O Allah make the Quran the life of my Heart and the light of my Soul, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.”
13- Reading Quran boosts up Imaan
The Quran contains the words of God, and whoever wants to talk to God looks at the Quran as a vessel for speech. Reciting the Qur’an brings us closer to God Almighty and helps us reach a higher level of faith and understanding.
“The believers are the only ones who, when God is mentioned, fear in their hearts, and when their verses are recited to them they increase their faith, and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone).”

God Almighty revealed the Qur’an to be a beacon of light that does not go out. It is a perfect methodology and way of life in all respects. It has a force that cannot be equaled or repelled.

Whenever you want to talk to God, seek help in prayer and whenever you want to hear God, read the Quran. God created you and no one can love you more than him. Whoever reads the Qur’an knows that he is merciful and even forgives the sins of his servants with one tear of repentance.
The books of this world may help you in many ways but none of them can benefit you as much as the Quran. Read the Qur’an because it brings you closer to God. It is the link between God and his servants.
