The infinite rewards of Qur’an recitation.
And We have certainly made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?54:22
The Qur’an, the speech of Allah, which was revealed to the Last Messenger in the Arabic language through Angel Jibreel, is a source of ultimate guidance for mankind. We learn from the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) many virtues for reciting the Qur’an with a pure intention.
