Allah's remembrance is a thing of great advantage. The best way that gains you near access to Allah is the recitation of Qur'an. Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Whoever reads one letter from the Book of Allah, he has a good deed to his credit. The recompense of one good deed is increased to ten times. I do not say that Çáă is one letter. But ÇáÝ is one letter, áÇă is one letter and ăíă is one letter” (At-Tirmidhi).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Allah has relatives amongst the people. His companions asked: Who they are O Allah's Messenger? He (peace be upon him) said: They are the people who commit themselves to Allah and He keeps them close” (Ahmad).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ He started reciting Surat al-Fatiha and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite), the patient got cured”.
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Do not make your house like graves. Satan can not enter the house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is read” (Muslim).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Read the Qur'an, because it will intercede for its readers on the Day of Resurrection” (Muslim).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Whoever memorises by heart the first ten verses of Surat Al-Kahf he is protected from (the mischief of) Dajjal” (Muslim).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ A Surah (chapter) from the Qur'an, which has thirty verses, interceded for a man until he was pardoned, the Surah being AlMulk also named Tabark, Surah number 67” (Muslim).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Recite the Surat Al-Kafirun as it frees oneself from idolatry (associating partners with Allah)” (Abu Dawud).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Whoever recites ayat alkursi (ayah 255 in surat AlBaQarah) after each Salat, nothing obstructs his way to enter the Paradise except death” (Ibn Sunni).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ A Muslim who recites a Surah from the Book of Allah while going to bed, Allah appoints an angel for his protection. Nothing comes near to harm him until he wakes up” (At-Tirmidhi).
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:“ Recite Qul howa Allahu ahad and almu'awathateen (the last three Surah of Qur'an) three times in the evening as well as in the morning, you will be protected from every harm” (Abu Dawud).
You should therefore be very keen to memorise as much as you can from the Noble Qur'an. Teach your wife and children its recitation, intonation and meanings. You should know that it is the best of all learnings, as the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“ The best amongst you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it” (Al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud, and At-Tirmidhi).
You deserve felicitations, my brother and sister, if you act upon this great Hadith. All creatures of the heavens and earth will invoke blessings and forgiveness for you; as the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him)has said:“ Allah bestows His Mercy; and His angels and all inhabitants of the heavens and earth, even the ant inside its hole and the fish in the water, invoke Allah's Blessings for the person who teaches good things to the people” (At-Tirmidhi).
