VIRTUES OF RECITING THE HOLY QUR' AAN, AND CERTAIN OF ITS SURAHS AND VERSES
The Holy Qur'aan should be recited daily. Hereunder Is mentioned some Ahadeeth with regards the excellence of reciting the Holy Qur'aan:
Recite the Holy Qur'aan for It will come as an Intercessor for Its reciter on the Day of Judgement. .
Allah Ta'ala says: "If. anyone finds no time for My remembrance and for begging My favours due to remaining engaged In the recitation of the Qur'aan, I shall give him more than what I give to all those who beg favours of Me." The superiority of the Word of Allah over all other words Is like the superiority of Allah over the entire creation. .
Learn the Qur'aan and recite It, because the example of one who learns the Qur'aan, reads It and recites;lt in Tahajjud Is like an open bag full of musk whose fragrance permeates the entire place. And the person who has learnt the Qur'aan but sleeps while the Qur'aan is In the heart is like a bag full of musk but with Its mouth closed.
I Whoever recites one letter of the Book of Allah, for him will be
tone hasanah (blessing); and one blessing Is equal 1.0 tenfold the
like thereof in Its reward. I do not say that Allf Laam Meem Is
one letter. but Allf is one letter. Laam Is one letter and Meem Is
lone letter. .
Envy Is not permitted except in respect of two persons - one
whom Allah blesses with the recitation of the Qur'aan and he
remains engaged in It day and night, and the other Is one who is given abundance of wealth by Allah and he spends It (In Allah's path) day and night. .
It will be said to the reclter of the Qur'aan (on the Day of Qlyaamah): "Go on reciting the Qur'aan and continue ascending the stages of Jannah; and recite It In the slow manner as you had been reciting It In the worldly life: your final abode will be where you reach at the time of the last aayah of your recitation.
One who recites the Qur'aan and he Is wen versed In it (i.e Its recitation), he will be in the company of those angels who are scribes, noble and righteous; and one who falters in Its recitation and has to exert himself, gets a double reward.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SURAH FAATIHAH
Some Ahadeeth pertaining to the excellence of Surah Faatihah:
The Surah Faatihah Is the greatest and most virtuous Surah of the Qur'aan; It consists of the Sab'a mathaani (seven verses which are repeatedly recited) and It (Surah Faatihah) represents the Grand Qur'aan.
I have been given the Faatihatu/ Kitaab (Opening Verses) from the treasures beneath the Throne.
Once while Jibreel (AS) was seated with Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhl-wasallam), he suddenly heard from above, a sound of (something) cracking. He lifted his head and said: "This Is an angel descending to the earth and never (before this) did he descend but this day." This angel greeted and said: "Be pleased with two (sources of) noor which no other Nabl before you had. been given: Fatihatu/ Kltaab and the Khawateem (Closing Two
Verses) of Surah Baqarah; you will not recite even one letter of these without being given a reward for It.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SURAH BAQARAH
The Shaytaan runs away from the house wherein Surah Baqarah is recited.
Recite Surah Baqarah for Its recitation is a source of blessings and its forsaking is a source of regret and only useless people are unable to recite ,it. .
Everything has a hump and the hump of the Qur'aan Is Surah Baqarah.
One who recites Surah Baqatah at night, the Shaytaan will not visit his home for three nights; and anyone who recites it In the day, the Shaytaan will not visit his home for three days.
I have been given the Surah Baqarah from the Lauhlm Mahfoozh (In particular).
THE EXCELLENCE OF SURAH BAQARAH AND AALE IMRAAN
Recite the two glittering Iustres/res - Baqarah and Aale Imraan; for these two will come on the Day of Qlyaamah as if they are two clouds or shelters or two rows of a flock of birds: they will quarrel (with Allah) to have their reclter forgiven.
THE EXCELLENCE OF AAYATUL KURSI
Aayatul Rursiis the greatest verse of the Qur'aan.
It is the leader of the verses of the Holy Qur'aan.
If Aayatul kursi is recited and blown on one's belongings or children or It is written and (the written copy) placed among one's belongings or hung (as a taweez) around the neck of one's
children, the Shaytaan will not dare to come even near such
belongings and the children.
THE EXCELLENCE OF THE LAST TWO VERSES OF SURAH BAQARAH
Reciting from Aamanar Rasoolu till the end of the Surah will prevent the Shaytaan from coming even near one's house.
Allah has completed the Surah Baqarah with such two verses that these have been given to me from the treasures kept beneath the Throne: so learn them and tead1 them to your wives and children for they are a source of mercy, a form of recitation and prayers.

According to one Hadeeth when punishment Is meted out to a person In the grave from the legs, they (the legs) say: you may not punish him lor he used to recite Suratul Mulk through me (le.
by standing In Salaah and reciting It); then when punishment Is
