The Qur’an is the most read single book in the world, it has been recited for the past fourteen hundred years and the indication is that people will continue not just to recite this book but also memorize It for the coming years until the day of Judgment. Could you tell us why people recite the Qur’an and also why do they go to the extent of even memorizing It.

The Qur’an is the last Book of ALLAH, hence the words contained within It are those uttered by ALLAH. By actually reciting the Qur’an, we are indeed performing ‘Ibada’(an act of worship). With every letter in our recitation we get a reward and ALLAH multiplies such rewards as HE Pleases us. Secondly, we as Muslims believe that on the day of Judgment, those who enter Paradise will be told to climb up the ranks in Paradise as they recite, thus the Muslims thrive to memorise the Qur’an.

The Qur’an contains blessings and reassurance for every situation in our lives, for example in times of fear, difficulty, pain, anxiety, we recite this book for tranquillity from the ALMIGHTY ALLAH. The house in which Qur’an is read frequently can be viewed from the heavens as a shining star.
