Quran Reading is a form of worship that will draw a Muslim close to Allah (SWT). The Quran is not a book like any other; it is a timeless guide for life, death, and the hereafter.

Whenever a person reads a book he wants to understand it to gather knowledge and apply it in his daily life. Qur’an is the word of Allah (SWT) and the most fortunate of people apply it in their lives by putting an earnest effort to understand it.

Reading and Understanding Qur’an are the rights of the Qur’an. There are mainly five rights of the Qur’an upon the reader:

• Attentive listening: ” So when the Qur’an is recited then listen to it and pay attention so that you may receive mercy”. (Surah Al A’raf verse 204). But nowadays people put on the Qur’an recitation through tape recorders and keep themselves busy with their usual chores. It is an insult to the Qur’an. So forbid from doing so.
• Recitation: Allah also says in the Holy Qur’an,” recite the Qur’an with measured recitation”. (Surah Al Muzammil verse 4) In this verse, it is said to recite Qur’an in a slow measured tone so that it could soothe and strengthen the mind and soul of the reciter. The tajweed (rules of recitation) also beautifies the recitation immensely.
• Memorization: Allah says in the Qur’an,” he who has no Qur’an in his heart is like a house that is destroyed”. (Hadeeth narrated by At Tirmidhi on the authorization of Ibn Abbas). So try to memorize one Sur’ah every week.
• Contemplation: Allah says in the Qur’an:” Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’an or are there locks upon their hearts?” (Surah Mohammad verse 24)One should read the Qur’an contemplating the depth of each ayah so that the meaning of each word would penetrate into his mind and reflect in his behavior so that the heart and soul will be filled with the light of its pure guidance.
• Application: Allah says in the Qur’an, and this “(Qur’an) is a Book We have revealed which is blessed, so follow it and fear Allah that you may receive mercy”. (Surah Al Anam verse 155) One can apply the teachings of the Qur’an in daily life by obeying all commands of Allah and heeding all His prohibitions which will result in his transformation into a true servant of Allah.

All the above references stress upon including the Qur’an, the word of Allah in one’s life, to be guided, to fill one’s heart with the assurance of each word of the Qur’an.
