2c]

It is narrated from the Prophet of Allah (a.s.), “ A person who recites as few as ten verses in anight, he would not be countedamongst the negligent people. If he recites fifty verses, he will be counted as a Dhakir (a person who remembers
*.
If one recites a hundred verses,he will be counted amongst theQaneteen (the obedient). One who recites two hundred verses in a night, then he is amongst the Qashe-een ( ). If a person recites three hundred verses overnight, he one of the Fayezeen (the elevated). If a person recites five hundred verses in a night, he will be counted in a group of persons who prayed their whole lives. When a person recites a thousand verses in a night, he will get a Qantar of Reward. A Qantar is equal to fifteen thousand Mishqal ( a mishqal isequal to 24 carat of gold) This will be equal to the Mount Ohud.

Hazrat Ali (a.s.) has said, “ Whena person recites any hundred verses of the Quran from any chapter, and after the recitationsays thrice the words,’ Allah humma akshif anni bala’, all his calamities will be warded off.”
*.
The Prophet of Islam (a.s.) said, “ If one has pain in the chest, he must seek succor from the Quran. Allah has promised that the Quran cures the chest pain!”
*.
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) has said, “ Every place has a spring season. For the Quran the spring is the Holy Month of Ramadan!”
*.
It is narrated from Imam Zain alAbedeen (a.s.) that if one listensto even a word of the Quran with interest, Allah will order writing one good deed in his record and obliterates one sin committed by him. The person will be elevated one stage upward. If a person memoriseseven one word from the Quran,Allah will record ten good deeds in his name and removesten sins from his record. He willalso be raised ten stages upward in his status.. When a person recites the verses of theQuran sitting at prayer, Allah will record fifty good deeds for him and remove fifty sins from his record. And raises his statusfifty stages. When a person recites one verse standing in prayer, He will record hundred good deeds for him, remove a hundred sisn from his account and raise his status a hundred stages. .When a person completes a full recitation of the Quran, Allah will fulfill his wish for this life or the Hereafter.”

Hazrat Ali (a.s.) has said that when a person recites a hundred verses from anywherein the Quran and then says Ya Allah seven times and order a stone to shatter, it will shatter with Allah’s wish!
THE SUPERIORITY OF RECITING THE HOLY QURAN LOOKING AT ITSWORDS
The eyesight of a person will improve if he recites the Quran looking at it pages. Allah will reduce the punishment for the sins of this person’s parents, even if the father or the mother was an infidel.

The house where a copy of the Quran is kept the Satan cannot come.

Authentic traditions indicate that three things would complain to Allah: 1. A mosque where people don’t go to offer prayer. 2. A scholar who lives amongst ignorant people and none respects him. 3. A copy of the Quran that takes dust in a house and no one reads it.
*.
Someone asked the Prophet of Islam (a.s.),” I have memorised the Quran. Is it better to recite it from the memory or by looking at the Book?" ” The Prophet (a.s.) replied , “t is better to recite looking at the pages of the Book because even looking at the book is auspicious.” Then the Prophet (a.s.) said that there are six things that would be the cause of benefit to a person even after his death: 1. A pious son who prays for the deliverence of his parents after their death. 2. A copy of the Quran that will be read and recited by others after a person’s death. 3. A well that has been dug for the benefit of the populace. 4. Creating a canal or a source of running water. 5. A tree that has been planted to give shade to the others. 6. The good examples set by the person for others to follow after his death.

The Prophet of Islam (a.s.) said that looking at the face of Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) is equivalent to prayer. He also said that looking with affectionon the faces of one’s parents too is prayer. Looking at the Holy Quran is prayer and setting eyes on the Kaaba too isprayer./ - - - :-> Transtors: 1.http://free-translation.imtranslator.net/lowres.asp 2.http://translate.google.com/m?twu=1&hl=en&vi=m&sl=auto&tl=en
