He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had especial love for Salah and the recitation of the Holy Quran. One gets envious of the mercies that were showered upon him. Therefore, it is narrated: ‘Whenever people would pass by his blessed shrine, voice of the recitation of the Holy Quran could be heard from his blessed grave.’

(Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 2, pp. 364-366; summarised)     

Competing in reciting the Holy Quran

(Once), Sayyiduna Sheikh Baha-ud-Deen Zakariyya Multani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said to his friends at night time: ‘Is there anyone among you who would offer two rak’at Salah tonight and recite the entire Quran in one Rak’at?’ No one among the attendees had the courage to reply. Sayyiduna Sheikh Baha-ud-Deen Zakariyya رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stood up himself and started offering 2 Rak’at Salah. In the first Rak’at, he recited the entire Quran with further 4 parahs; and in the second Rak’at, he recited Surah e Ikhlas and completed his Salah. (Fawaad-ul-Fawaaid, pp. 62; summarised)

Some unfortunate people don’t even know how to recite the Holy Quran even by looking at it and those who do know how to recite it don’t even open the Holy Quran in years. Many months pass by and the houses of Muslims remain deprived of the blessings of the recitation of the Holy Quran. Let’s make an intention that while acting upon these Ahadees and adopting the practices of righteous predecessors, we will not only start reciting the Holy Quran ourselves from today but will also persuade others to do so.
