remain unaware of the basic teachings of Deen. Undoubtedly, this is a great deprivation.

Remember! If today we ourselves recite the Noble Quran and also incline our children towards it, this will become a source of goodness for us in this world, and its benefits will also become apparent in the Hereafter. Let us listen to a few faith-enlightening sayings of the pious predecessors رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ عَلَيْهمْ اَجْمَعِين regarding the benefits of reciting the Noble Quran:

1. Hazrat ‘Amr bin Maymun رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ عَلَيْه states: “Whoever performs the Fajr Salah and then opens the Noble Quran and recites one hundred verses, Allah Almighty will raise his reward equal to the deeds of all the people of the world.”

 (Din aur Dunya ki Anokhi Baatain, p. 62)

2. Hazrat Ali رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْه states: “The one who recites the Noble Quran while standing in Salah will receive one hundred good deeds for every letter; the one who recites while sitting in Salah will receive fifty good deeds. The one who recites the Quran outside Salah while in the state of Wudu will receive twenty-five good deeds for every letter, and the one who recites without Wudu (without touching it) will receive ten good deeds.”

 (Din aur Dunya ki Anokhi Baatain, p. 62)

3. Hazrat Imam Sha‘bi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ عَلَيْه states: “The tongue should recite, the ears should listen, and the heart should understand. Therefore, recite in such a way that your ears hear it and your heart comprehends it.”

 (Din aur Dunya ki Anokhi Baatain, p. 61)
