Rewards for reciting Quran.
The rewards of reciting the
Quran are many.
An authentic hadith in
At-Tirmithee states:
Whoever reads a letter from
the Book of Allah, he will have a reward. And that reward will be multiplied by
ten. I am not saying that “Alif, Laam, Meem” is a letter, rather I am saying
that “Alif” is a letter, “laam” is a letter and “meem” is a letter.” So
increase your recitation of the Qur’an to gain these merits, and to gain the
following merit as well.
In
another hadeeth, ‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, relates that the
Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said:
Verily
the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be
in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites
with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have
TWICE that reward.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
This
hadith proves that people who are not well versed in the Arabic languge or have
other difficulties in reciting the Quran, get even a higher reward for reciting
the Quran in Arabic for their extra effort.

Zhul Hijjah is right around the corner (What is Zhul Hijjah?)
﷽
The first 10 days of Zhul Hijjah is right around the corner, are you ready?
A grand opportunity to become extremely rich in a very short period of time is waiting at our doors, so if you wish to hit the jackpot and heavily tip your scales of good deeds, don’t procrastinate in these upcoming 10 days nor belittle a single opportunity to perform a good deed that calls your way, no matter how insignificant you may perceive it to be.
So what’s so special about these first 10 days of Zhul Hijjah you ask?
Well, Allah has preferred and exalted these days over all other days of the year, so listen up:
Narrated from Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” They said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” Bukhari
Allahu Akbar!
No doubt, this is a great blessing from Allah which He has bestowed upon His servants. A chance to reap so much reward and a chance to turn back humbly to our Lord and ask for forgiveness.
So what deeds can one perform during this period? Let’s jump right to our checklist:
1) Praying More Nawafl (voluntary prayers)
2) Reading As Much Quran As Possible (with reflection)
3) Fasting
4) Giving Charity Everyday
5) Continuous Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) – Increase in : Allah akbar, Allahu akbar, laa ilaha ill-Allah, Allahu akbar, wa Lillah il-hamd (Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god worthy to be worship except Allah ; Allah is Most Great and to Allah be praise).
6) Constantly ask for forgiveness
7) Increasing Dua (especially on the Day of Arafat)
8) Fasting the Day of Arafat - The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was asked about fasting on the Day of Arafaah (9th of Zhul Hijjah). He said, “It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year.” (Muslim)
9) Sacrificing an animal on Eid-Al-Adha
We simply cannot let this colossal opportunity slip away. It’s a call of mercy and forgiveness from the Most Generous, so let us respond with haste and zeal.
Let the competitor's compete!
May Allah accept from us all
