Listening to Quran

Listening to recitation is the perfume of the souls, the calmer of
hearts, and the food of the spirit. Is isone of the most important
psychological medicines. It is a source of pleasure, even to
someanimals – and pleasure inmoderation purifies inner energy,
enhances the functioning of the faculties, slows down senile decay by
driving out its diseases, improvesthe complexion, and refreshes the
entire body. Pleasure in excess, on the other hand, makesthe illnesses
of the body grow worse.
Abu Nu'aim states, in his Tib an-Nabbi, that the Prophet (صلى الله
عليه وسلم) said that the benefits of listening to recitation are
increased when it is understood – that is, when its meaning is
understood. Allah Himself says:
…so give good news to My slaves, those who listen to the word and then
follow the best of it…( Qur'an: 39.17-18)
