The noble Qur'an was the last divine revelation sent down to humanity, a Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) was the last Prophet sent to humanity. It is the book which both men and jinn are challenged to produce the like of even one of its shortest chapters but they have failed to do.
The most honourable branch of knowledge is that which leads to knowing Allaah (The Most High) and his Attributes. Hence, it is beneficial and compulsory to learn this, because the dignity of knowledge is a reflection of the dignity of one upon whom this knowledge focuses.
All the revealed scriptures agree on this. All the Messengers, from the first to Noah (peace be upon him) to the last, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had the very same mission and the first principle to which the Messengers invited their people.
Allaah The Most High says:
"The holy book (Qur'an) sent as a guidance for mankind and the distinction (between right and wrong).”
[Al-Qur’an 2:185]
"This is the Book (Holy Qur'an) about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allaah"
[Al-Qur'an 2:2]
"Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? Had it been from anyone other than Allaah, they would have certainly found therein many contradictions"
[Al-Qur’an 4:82]
"And with the truth We have sent the Qur'an down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner."
[Al-Qur'an 17:105]
1. Narrated by A'isha (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The person who recites the Holy Qur'an and masters it by heart, will be with the honourable and righteous scribes (Angels in Heaven). And such a person exerts diligent efforts to learn the Qur'an by heart, and recites it with great difficulty, will have a double reward.
[Sahih Bukhari]
2. Narrated by Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever reads a harf (letter) of the book of Allaah shall have a good deed (recorded for him or her) and every good deed is increased a ten-fold (reward). I do not say that alif lam meem is a harf, but that alif is a harf, lam is a harf and meem is a harf,"
[At-Trmithi]
3. Narrated by Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) "There should not be envy (competition in righteousness) except in two things, A man who Allaah (The Most High) has given wealth and he spends it (in the cause of Allaah) during the hours of the night and during the hours of the day, and a man whom Allaah (The Most High) has given the knowledge of Qur'an and he recites it during some hours of the night and some hours of the day.
[At-Tirmidhi]
4. Narrated by Uthman (may Allaah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The best of you are the ones who learn the Qur’an and teach it to others.”
[Sahih Bukhari]
5. Narrated by`Aaishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) 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 been reward twice.”
[Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]
6. Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Whoever recites ten ayahs (verses) in qiyam will not be recorded as one of the forgetful. Whoever recites a hundred ayahs (verses) in qiyam will be recorded as one of the devout, and whoever prays a thousand ayahs (verses) in qiyam will be recorded as one of the muqantereen (those who pile up good deeds).”
[Abu Dawuud]
7. Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The Qur’an is an intercessor (something given permission to intercede) and it is rightfully believed in. Whoever puts it in front of him, it will lead him to Paradise, and whoever puts it behind him, it will steer him to the Hellfire.”
[At-Tabarani]
8. Narrated by Abdullah Ibn Amr (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “It will be said to the man or the woman of the Qur’an, ‘Recite and beautify your recitation as you used to do in your life, your position will be with the last ayah you recite.”
[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]
9. Narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Nessenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no goup of people who sit in a mosque reciting the book of Allaah (Qur'an) and studing it among themselves except that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will over shadow them, and the Angels will encircle them, and he whose deeds cause him to lag behind his affiniry will not bring him forward.
[At-Tirmidhi]
