should be recited, it should be understood, it should be believed in, it should be acted upon and it should be conveyed to others.

Similarly, countless virtues of the Holy Quran have been mentioned in blessed Ahadees. Let’s listen to 4 blessed sayings of the Beloved Rasool              صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this regard:

٭         Recite the Holy Quran as it will come to intercede for its reciters on the Judgement Day. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 403, Hadees 804)

٭         It is a Hadees-e-Qudsi that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated: ‘The one who is prevented by the recitation of the Holy Quran from asking from Me and begging Me, I will grant him better reward than the reward of those who are thankful.

٭         Three types of people will be on the mounds of dark musk [a type of fragrance]. They will not feel any kind of nervousness, nor will they be asked for accountability until people get finished with their accountability. (One of them) is the person who recites the Holy Quran for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and leads the Salah of people who are happy with him. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 2, pp. 348, Hadees 2002)

٭         People of the Holy Quran (i.e., those who recite it and act upon its commandments) (Ithaf-us-Sadah, vol. 5, pp. 13) are Allah-loving ones and His special people. (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 1, pp. 140, Hadees 215)

الله! مجھے حافظِ قرآن بنا دے

قرآن کے اَحکام پہ بھی مجھ کو چلا دے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
