of Allaah, the Noble Quran, often, with due contemplation and
understanding. This may be doneby using a copy of the Quran or from
one's memory. Allaah - the Most High – Says (what means): " [This is]
a blessed Book (the Quran) which We have revealed to you [O Muhammad],
that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of
understanding would be reminded ." [Quran 38:29] And:
" Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allaah (the Quran) and
establish prayer and spend [in Hiscause] out of what We have provided
them, secretly and publicly, [can] expect a transaction [i.e. profit]
that will never perish. That He may give them in full their rewards
and increase for them of His bounty. Indeed, He is Forgiving and
Appreciative. " [Quran 35:29-30]
The aforementioned recitation of the Quran includes both reciting and
acting upon it (abiding by what Almighty Allaah enjoins in itand
refraining from what He forbids in it). The recitation is to be done
with contemplation and understanding of it. Sincerity to Allaah is a
means of complying with and acting upon the Quran, and its recitation
contains a greatreward - as the Prophet said: "Recite the Quran, for
on the Day of Resurrection, it shall come as an intercessor for its
companion (one who recites and complies byits teachings)." [Muslim]
The Prophet also said: "The best of you is he who learns the Quran and
teaches it." [Al-Bukhaari]
Another narration states: "Whoever reads one letter of the Quran shall
receive a good deed and ten good deeds similar to it. I do not say
that Alif Laam Meem is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Laam is a
letter and Meem is a letter." [At-Tirmithi]
The Prophet said to AbdullaahIbn 'Amr Ibn Al-`Aas : "Complete the
recitation of the Quran once a month." He ('Abdullaah) said: "I am
able to do more than that, O Messenger of Allaah." So he said: "Then
complete its recitation once in seven days." [Al-Bukhaari]
The Companions used to complete the entire Quran once every seven days.
So, it is recommended that the readers of the Quran increase their
reading of it, with contemplation and understanding it, along with
sincerity to Allaah - with the purpose of learning and benefiting from
it. They should read the entire Quran once a month. If, however, they
are able to do more than this without anydifficulty, then they should
complete it in less than this time.
However, it is best not to complete it in less than three days, since
this is the least amount of time that the Prophet mentioned to
'Abdullaah Ibn `Amr Ibn Al-`Aas . This is because if it is read in
less than three days, the person becomes hasty and lacks thought and
concentration while reading it.
Allaah, the Most High, Says in the Glorious Quran (what means): " And
the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this
Quran as [a thing] abandoned ." [Quran: 25: 30]
So, Allaah Almighty informs us about His Messenger Muhammad that he
said: "My Lord my people have abandoned - acting or listening - to the
Quran." and that is because the idol-worshippers did not pay attention
nor listen to the Quran, as Allaah Says (what means): "And those who
disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Quran and speak noisily during
[the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome." [Quran 41:26]
Thus, when the Quran was being read to them, they would deliberately
make noise and futilespeech so that they would not hear the Quran.
However, this is from the ways of abandoning theQuran. Likewise, not
having faith and trust in it is also from the ways of abandoning the
Quran. Not pondering over it, nor trying to understand it, not acting
by it, not obeying its orders and refraining from what it forbids,
turning to something other than it - whether poetry, music, amusement,
or other forms of vain speech and taking a path that is derived from
other than the Quran are all from the ways of abandoning the Quran, of
which we were strictly warned byAllaah, the Most Exalted, and His
Messenger .
