1a] Will he be rewarded for listening to the Qur’aan without understanding it?

1a]
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
Will a person be rewardedif he reads the Qur'aan, even if he does not
understand its meanings?
He replied:
The Holy Qur'aan is blessed, as Allah, may He be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): "(This is) a Book(the Qur'aan) which
We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over
its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember" [Saad 38:29].
So man is enjoined to readit, whether he understands its meanings or
not. But the believer who is enjoined to act upon it should not read
Qur'aan without understanding its meanings. If a person wants to learn
medicine, for example, and studies the books of medicine, he cannot
benefit from them unless he understands their meanings and they are
explained to him; in fact he will be very keen to understand the
meanings so that he can apply them. So why do you think anyone should
read the Book of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, which is a
healingfor what is in the hearts and exhortation to people,without
pondering and without understanding its meanings? For this reason the
Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would not move onfrom ten
verses until they had learned them and learned the knowledge they
contained and how to act upon it. So they learned the Qur'aan and
knowledge and action all together.
A person will be rewarded for reading the Qur'aan whether he
understands its meanings or not, but he should be very keen to
understand its meanings and to learn these meanings from scholars who
are trustworthy in their knowledge. If he has no access to a scholar
whocan teach him the meanings, he may refer to the trustworthy books
of tafseer, such as Tafseer IbnJareer, Tafseer Ibn Katheer and others
which pay attention to the tafseer that is based on reports narrated
from the Sahaabah and the Taabi'een (may Allah be pleased with them).

1] Will he be rewarded for listening to the Qur’aan without understanding it?

Will a person (a believer) be rewarded if he listens to the Qur'aan
without understanding what he is listening to, but he knows that it is
Qur'aan? Or will he not be rewarded unlesshe understands what he
ishearing? I hope you could give some evidence from the Qur'aan and
saheeh hadeeth.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Allah, may He be exalted, has commanded the believers to listen to the
Qur'aan attentively, in a general command. He says(interpretation of
the meaning): "So, when the Qur'aan is recited, listen toit, and be
silent that you may receive mercy" [al-A'raaf 7:204].
Shaykh al-Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This command is general and includes everyone who hears the Book of
Allah being recited. He is enjoined to listen to it andkeep quiet. The
difference between listening and keeping quiet is that keeping quiet
is done outwardly by not speaking or being distracted with anything
that would keep one from focusing on listening to it.
As for listening to it, this means that one hears it with an attentive
heart, pondering the meaning of what one is listening to. The one who
adheres to these two commands when the Book of Allah is recited will
attain a great deal of good, beneficial knowledge, ongoing and renewed
faith, increased guidance and insight into his religion. Hence Allah
connected the attainment of mercy to them, which indicates that the
one whodoes not keep quiet and listen attentively when the Book is
recited to him will be deprived of the share of mercy and has missed
out on a great dealof good.
The most emphatic command with regard to listening to the Qur'aan
attentively has to do with prayers in which Qur'aan isrecited out loud
by the imam, in which one is enjoined to listen attentively, to such
an extent that most of the scholars say that his focusing on keeping
quiet and listening attentively takes priority over his reciting
al-Faatihah etc.
End quote from Tafseer al-Sa'di, 314
The greater aim of keeping quiet and listening attentively is so that
the listener may ponder and understand the meanings, and act upon
them. Imam al-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Allah says to those who believe in Him and in His Book, for whom the
Qur'aan is guidance and mercy: "So, when the Qur'aan is recited", to
you, O believers; "listen to it", i.e. lend your ears so that you
might understand its verses and learn from its exhortation; "and be
silent" and listen to it attentively, so that you might understand and
ponder, and do not utter idle talk during it lest you do not
understand; "that you may receive mercy" i.e., that you might
receivethe mercy of your Lord by heeding His exhortation and adhering
to His limits and to what He enjoins upon you in the verses.
End quote from Tafseer al-Tabari, 13/244
If a person manages to achieve that, i.e., keeping quiet, listening
attentively,pondering what is recited to him and understanding its
meanings, that will bring him goodness in thisworld and the Hereafter.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah havemercy on him) said:
By means of this listening, Allah guides His slaves andsets straight
their affairs inthis world and the Hereafter; with this the Messenger
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was sent, and he enjoined
it upon the Muhaajireen and Ansaar and those who followed them in
truth. The early generations used to gather for this purpose. When the
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) gathered together, they would tell one of their number to
recite whilst they listened. 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be
pleased with him) would say to Abu Moosa: Remind us of our Lord, and
Abu Moosa would recite Qur'aan whilst they listened.
End quote from Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 11/626
Secondly:
As listening in the complete sense is that in which one understands
and ponders, there is no doubt that the one who does that as much is
he is able is to be commended for what he does, and he is excused for
what he is incapable of. But what oneis incapable of should not be an
excuse for not doingwhat one is able to do of goodness. What is
possibleis not to be omitted because of what is difficult; in other
words, whatever a person is able to do of obligatory or mustahabb
actions is not waived because of what he is incapable of doing,
because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "So keep your duty
to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can"
[al-Taghaabun 64:16]. :-> :->

Is there anything in Islam to suggest that theone who memorises the Qur’aan with the numbers of its verses will have a greater reward than the one who is not like that?

I am sixteen years old and I have memorised the entire Qur'aan, praise
be to Allah, but I want to memorise it with the numbers of its verses.
Does the one who memorizes the Qur'aan with the numbers of its verses
attain greater virtue than the one who memorises it without memorising
the numbers of the verses?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
We ask Allah to make you steadfast in adhering to goodness and guidance.
In the answer to questionsno. 14035 and 20803 we have discussed the
rewardfor memorising the Qur'aan and the status of its bearers. We ask
Allah not to deprive you of any of that.
Secondly:
There is no text in Islam tosuggest that the one who memorises the
Qur'aan with the numbers of its verses will attain a greaterreward or
a higher status than the one who memorises it without that.
Our advice to you is not todo that and not to focus on it, because it
is a kind of showing off and time is too precious to spend it
onsomething in which there is no point and will not benefit you in
your religion or bring you closer to your Lord, may He be exalted.
You should pay attention to perfecting your recitation and
memorisation, and striving to understand the verses and ponder their
meanings, as well as paying attention to acting upon what it says in
it, regarding as halaal what itpermits and as haraam what it forbids,
and following its commands and avoiding what it prohibits. Acting in
accordance with the Qur'aan is the greatest aimbehind reading it and
memorising it.
It was narrated that 'Abd-Allah ibn Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with
him) said: When one of us learned ten verses, he would not move on
from them until he understood the meaning and acted upon them.
Abu 'Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sulami -- one of the Taabi'een -- said: Those
who used to teach us the Qur'aan, such as 'Uthmaan ibn 'Affaan,
'Abd-Allah ibn Mas'ood and others, told us that when they learnedten
verses from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
they would not moveon from them until they learned what was in them of
knowledge and action. And they said: So we learned the Qur'aan and
knowledge and action all together.
And Allah knows best.
