in addition to the great benefits of reciting the Holy Quran , it is highly rewarded by God

2. The Holy Quran is the sole holy Book that has
remained unchanged, it is an unprecedented
moral code; it is a book that refutes atheism on
scientific evidence, a book that brings you closer
to the Creator. It talks to you, blames you,
sympathizes with you and guides you. It has a
strange healing power. Moreover, reciting it is
highly rewarded by God in this life and in the
afterlife. On the following slides, you will discover
some of the benefits of Quran

(sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:
"Whoever recites one letter from the
Book of Allaah then he will receive a
good reward, and every good deed is
rewarded with ten times its like. I do not

Alif is one word, Laam is one word and
Meem is one word."[4]

memorized the Qur'an [and acted
upon it]: 'Recite the Qur'an (ascending
the levels of Paradise thereby) and do
so slowly and melodiously just as you
used to recite slowly and melodiously
in the world since your abode will be
at the place where you finish reciting
your last verse."[5]

the Day of Judgment. However,
Sooratul-Baqarah and Sooratul-
Imraan will precede them and argue
in favour of those who memorized
and recited these soorah's (in this
life)."[6]

Al-Bara' narrated: A man was reciting
Surat Al-Kahf and his horse was tied
with two ropes beside him. A cloud
came down and spread over that
man, and it kept oncoming closer
and closer to him till his horse started
jumping (as if afraid of something).
When it was morning, the man came
to the Prophet, and told him of that
experience. The Prophet said, "That
was As-Sakina (tranquility) which
descended because of (the recitation
of) the Qur'an." [8]

and his horse was tied beside him,
the horse was suddenly startled and
troubled. When he stopped reciting,
the horse became quiet, and when he
started again, the horse was startled
again. Then he stopped reciting and
the horse became quiet too. He started
reciting again and the horse was startled
and troubled once again. Then he
stopped reciting and his son, Yahya was
beside the horse. He was afraid that the
horse might trample on him. When he
took the boy away and looked towards
the sky, he could not see it. The next
morning he informed the Prophet who
said, "Recite, O Ibn Hudair! Recite, O
Ibn Hudair!

12. www.knowmuhammad.org
" Ibn Hudair replied, "O Allah's Apostle!
My son, Yahya was near the horse and I
was afraid that it might trample on him,
so I looked towards the sky, and went to
him. Then I looked at the sky, I saw
something like a cloud containing what
looked like lamps, so I went out in order
not to see it." The Prophet said, "Do you
know what that was?" Ibn Hudair
replied, "No." The Prophet said, "Those
were Angels who came near to you for
your voice and if you had kept on
reciting till dawn, it would have
remained there till morning when
people would have seen it as it would
not have disappeared." [9]
