The Prophet (pbuh) said:
1. The best of you is he who learnt the Holy Qur'an and taught it to others. (Bukhari)
2. Undoubtedly, the heart gets rusted like metal gets rusted when water goes over it. The People asked, "How can they [hearts] be cleaned." The Prophet replied, "To remember death in abundance and to recite the Holy Qur'an." (Mishkat)
3. That chest which does not have any Qur'an in it is like an abandoned house. (Tirmizi, Darmi)
4. Whoever read the Qur'an and memorized it and believed its' Halal to be Halal and its Haram to be Haram [i.e., accepted it commandments of Halal and Haraam], Allah will accept the intercession for such 10 people on from him whom Hell had already become Wajib. (Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah)
5. Whoever is an expert in reciting the Holy Qur'an is with the Kiraman Katebeen and whoever reads the Qur'an with pauses and it is difficult for him, that is, his tongue does not move easily and he recites with difficulty for him there are two rewards. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
6. The one who has memorized the Qur'an will be told to read and climb and recite with Tarteel (clear and distinct recitation) like you used to read with Tarteel in the Dunya; your place will be where you read your last Ayat. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
7. Allah says, "Whoever was kept busy with the [recitation] of the Qur'an from my Zikr and asking me, I will give him better than those who I give to those who ask" and the excellence of the Word of Allah over all the other words is like the excellence of Allah over all his creation.
8. Learn the Qur'an and read it because whoever learned the Qur'an and read it and did Qayam with it is like a bag filled with Musk whose fragrance is spread everywhere and whoever learned the Qur'an and slept that is he did not do Qiyamul Layl is like a bag which is filled with Musk and its mouth has been closed. (Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah, Nisaee)
9. Read the Qur'an when you heart feels affection and attachment and when your heart becomes bored stand up that is stop reciting the Qur'an. (Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim)
10. Decorate the Qur'an with your (good) voices. (Mishkat)
11. O People of the Qur'an, do not make the Qur'an a pillow, that is do not be lazy and be careless, and read the Qur'an in the day and night like it is the Haq of Recitation, and spread it, that is, read with good voices or do not take compensation for it, and whatever is in it, reflect upon it so that you may attain success, and do not hurry in its reward because the reward for it is great (which will be given in the Akhirah). (Bahiqi)
Virtues for Certain Surahs and Ayahs
The Holy Prophet said:
1. Surah Fatiha is a cure from every illness. (Darmi, Bahiqi)
2. Do not make your home a graveyard, the Shaitan runs from the home in which Surah Baqrah is recited. (Sahih Muslim)
3. Whoever memorized the first ten ayahs of Surah Kahf will be saved the Dajjal. (Sahih Muslim)
4. Whoever recites Surah Kahf on the day of Jummah, there will be a Nur brightened for him between two Jummahs.
5. Everything has a heart and the heart of the Qur'an is Surah Yaseen, whoever read Yaseen, Allah will write the reward of reading the Qur'an ten times from him. (Tirmizi and Darmi)
6. Whoever reads Surah Yaseen for the pleasure of Allah, his past sins will be forgiven so read this near your deceased. (Bahiqi)
7. (Reading) Qul hu WAllahu Ahad (Surah Ikhlas) is equal to [reading] one third of theQur'an.
8. Whoever read Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salah, he will be under the protection and security of Allah. (Dailmi on the Authority of Sayeduna Ali)
9. (On the Day of Judgment) a caller will say O Recitor of Surah Inaam, come to Jannat for loving Surah Inaam and its recitation.
10. Surah Tabarak (Surah Mulk) saves one from Hell.
11. Whatever task is not begun with Bismillahir Rahamnir Raheem remains incomplete and unfinished.
Etiquettes and Rules of Tilawat:
1. To memorize one Ayah of theQur'an is Fard-e-Aeen on every Mukallaf Muslim; to memorize the entire Holy Qur'an is Fard-e-Kafyah; to memorize Surah Fatiha and a small Surah or something similar like three small Ayahs or one long Ayah is Wajib-e-Aeen. (Durre Mukhtar)
2. To read the HolyQur'an while looking at it is better then reading without looking at it because in this case one touches the Holy Qur'an, sees the HolyQur'an, and reads the HolyQur'an and all this is Ibadat. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
3. To read the Holy Qur'an in the restroom and such places of impurity is not allowed (Na-Jaiz)
4. It is Haram that everybody read the HolyQur'an in a gathering loudly at once; however, it is necessary to read loudly enough so that one can hear what he/she is reading, that is, if there is no other distraction like noise. (Bhare-e-Shariat) Also, many children read together at once in a Madrsa loudly for learning purposes and this is okay.
5. It is better to read the Qur'an loudly, that is if somebody praying, sleeping, or somebody ill will not be distracted. (Gunyah)
6. If somebody is reciting the Qur'an incorrectly, then it is Wajib to tell him/her unless if one fears jealousy and hate. (Gunyah)
7. To memorize the HolyQur'an and then to forget it is a sin.
8. It is from the etiquettes of respecting the Holy Qur'an that one does not put their back towards the Qur'an or spread their legs towards the Qur'an or sit in a high place when the Qur'an is beneath. (Bahare Shariat)
9. During recitation reflect on what you are reading. For example, when reading about punishment, one should repent; when reading about Paradise, one should rejoice and pray for Jannah.
10. The way to do Sajdah of Tilwat is as follows: If one hears or reads the Ayat of Sajdah then he should stand with the intention of performing the Sajdah of Tilawat and saying Allahu Akbar should go into Sajdah and should recite the Tasbeeh of Sajdah atleast three times. Then, saying Allahu Akbar, one should stand up. To say Allahu Akbar both times is Sunnah. Similarly, to stand before and after the Sajdah is Mustahab. (Durre Mukhtar)
Lastly, learn how to read theQur'an in the company of a Qualified Sunni Alim [and mature sisters must go to a Qualified Sister] who can teach them how to read as this is necessary. At times, while reciting many brothers and sisters unknowingly make mistakes in recitation which change the meaning which breaks their Salah. Likewise, send your children to Madrsas where they may learn how to recite the Qur'an with correct pronunciation and Qirat. If there is not a Madrsa in your town, then establish one. Knowledge of Islam leads one to Love Allah and helps to build a good moral character within the Muslim community. By learning the Qur'an, a Muslim saves his Salah, his Iman, and his Akhirah. Learning theQur'an is not limited to just learning how to recite the Holy Book, rather, it is a life long process of learning how to recite it and understand what the Qur'an says. The noble Ulama have worked hard and written volumes of Tafseer which consists of Ahadith, Stories, and important points. After learning the Qur'an, we must practice it and spread the word into our family and community.
