Benefits of Quran recitation are tremendous. Just the single word “Bismillah” holds so many benefits that we’ll have to compose a whole book for that purpose. The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said, “when a person recites Bismillah, five thousand ruby palaces are built for him in paradise with each having a thousand chambers made of pearls and in each chamber are seventy thousand thrones of emerald and each throne has seventy thousand carpets made from special fabrics and upon each carpet is seated a Hur-ul-Ein.”
On another occasion He (P.B.U.H) says; “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward. And that reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that “Alif, Laam, Meem” is a letter, rather I am saying that “Alif” is a letter, “laam” is a letter and “meem” is a letter.”
This shows how important it is to make Quran reading and recitation a daily habit. In addition, reciting Quran on days like Jumma, Ramadan, and Qiyaam Al-Layl (Late night prayer) hold much more rewards than general recitation. So if you don’t get time daily, make sure you do not miss it on weekly basis.
