فَضَائِلُ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ هُمْ أَهْلُ اللَّهِ.

أَنَّ ثَوَابَ تِلَاوَةِ الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْفَسِ أَمْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا.

أَنَّ كُلَّ حَرْفٍ فِيهِ بِعَشْرِ حَسَنَاتٍ.

أَنَّهُ يُورِثُ الْإِنْسَانَ الرَّاحَةَ وَالذِّكْرَ الْحَسَنَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ.

أَنَّ كُلَّ آيَةٍ يَحْفَظُهَا الْمُسْلِمُ يَرْفَعُهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ.

أَنَّ الْمَاهِرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ يَقْرِنُهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِأَفْضَلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ.

أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ هُوَ مَنْ يَتَعَلَّمُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيُعَلِّمُهُ.

أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا يُعَذِّبُ إِنْسَانًا حَفِظَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَمِلَ بِهِ.

أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي شَفِيعًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا.

أَنَّ صَاحِبَ الْقُرْآنِ رَفَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى مَرَاتِبِ الْعُلَمَاءِ.

أَنَّ صَاحِبَ الْقُرْآنِ يُكْرِمُهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَنْوَاعٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مِنَ التَّكْرِيمِ.

أَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ هُوَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْقُرُبَاتِ الَّتِي يُتَقَرَّبُ بِهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَحَبِّهَا إِلَيْهِ.

أَنَّ الْخَلْقَ كُلَّهُمْ يُكْتَبُونَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ إِلَّا مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ.

أَنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي يُقْرَأُ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ تَحْصُلُ فِيهِ الْخَيْرَاتُ وَالْبَرَكَاتُ وَيَحْفَظُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَهْلَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ.

Whoever Allah lets go astray has no guide.’ [Az-Zumar 39:23]

أَحَادِيثُ تَدْعُو لِتِلَاوَةِ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ وَتَدَبُّرِهِ وَالتَّأَثُّرِ بِهِ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْفَعُ بِهَذَا الْكِتَابِ أَقْوَامًا وَيَضَعُ بِهِ آخَرِينَ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ كَالْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَالْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ كَالتَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَالرَّيْحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَالْحَنْظَلَةِ طَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ أَوْ خَبِيثٌ وَرِيحُهَا مُرٌّ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهُوَ حَافِظٌ لَهُ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ يَتَعَاهَدُهُ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ شَدِيدٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "كِتَابُ اللَّهِ ، هُوَ حَبْلُ اللَّهِ الْمَمْدُودُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَلَهُ بِهِ حَسَنَةٌ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، لَا أَقُولُ الم حَرْفٌ؛ وَلَكِنْ أَلِفٌ حَرْفٌ، وَلَامٌ حَرْفٌ، وَمِيمٌ حَرْفٌ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يَأْتِيهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مِمَّا أَمَرْتُ بِهِ أَوْ نَهَيْتُ عَنْهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : مَا أَدْرِي مَا وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ اتَّبَعْنَاهُ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَسُلِّطَ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْحِكْمَةَ فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ أُمَّتُكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَأَيُّمَا حَرْفٍ قَرَءُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ أَصَابُوا".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَيُّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ فَإِذَا أُشِيرَ لَهُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا قَدَّمَهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ وَقَالَ أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْنِهِمْ فِي دِمَائِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُغَسَّلُوا وَلَمْ يُصَلَّ عَلَيْهِمْ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "تَـعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ ، وَ سَلُوا اللَّهَ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَـتَـعَلَّمَهُ قَوْمٌ ، يَسْأَلُونَ بِهِ الدُّنْيَا ، فَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ يَـتَـعَلَّمُهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ : رَجُلٌ يُبَاهِي بِهِ ، وَ رَجُلٌ يَسْتَأْكِلُ بِهِ ، وَ رَجُلٌ يَقْرَؤُهُ لِلَّهِ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي جَوْفِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ؛ كَالْبَيْتِ الْخَرِبِ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ لِلَّهِ أَهْلِينَ مِنَ النَّاسِ, قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: مَنْ هُمْ ؟ قَالَ : هُمْ أَهْلُ الْقُرْآنِ ، أَهْلُ اللَّهِ وَخَاصَّتُهُ".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "يُقَالُ لِصَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ اقْرَأْ , وَارْتَقِ , وَرَتِّلْ كَمَا كُنْتَ تُرَتِّلُ فِي الدُّنْيَا , فَإِنَّ مَنْزِلَتَكَ عِنْدَ آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَأُ بِهَا".

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "يَجِيءُ الْقُرْآنُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ حَلِّهِ ، فَيُلْبَسُ تَاجَ الْكَرَامَةِ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ زِدْهُ ، فَيُلْبَسُ حُلَّةَ الْكَرَامَةِ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ ارْضَ عَنْهُ ، فَيَرْضَى عَنْهُ ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : اقْرَأْ وَارْقَ وَتُزَادُ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ حَسَنَةً".

Hadiths encouraging recitation of the Noble Quran, reflection on it, and being moved by it

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

‘Allah raises some people through this Book and lowers others through it.’

‘The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it.’

‘The believer who recites the Quran and acts upon it is like a citron: its taste and scent are pleasant. The believer who does not recite the Quran but acts upon it is like a date: its taste is pleasant but it has no scent. The hypocrite who recites the Quran is like basil: its scent is pleasant but its taste is bitter. The hypocrite who does not recite the Quran is like a colocynth: its taste is bitter or foul and its smell is unpleasant.’

‘One who recites the Quran while having memorized it is with the noble, righteous scribes. One who recites it, continually practicing it despite difficulty, receives two rewards.’

‘The Book of Allah is Allah's rope extended from heaven to earth.’

‘Whoever recites a letter from Allah's Book receives a good deed for it, and a good deed is multiplied tenfold. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter; rather, Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.’

‘Let me not find one of you reclining on his couch when something I commanded or forbade reaches him, saying: “I do not know; we follow only what we find in Allah's Book.”’

‘Envy is justified only in two cases: a man whom Allah has given wealth and enabled to spend it fully in truth, and a man whom Allah has given wisdom, who judges by it and teaches it.’

‘Allah commands you that your nation recite the Quran in seven modes; whichever mode they recite, they are correct.’

‘The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would place two of those killed at Uhud together in one garment, then ask: “Which of them knew more Quran?” When one was indicated, he placed him first in the grave and said: “I will be a witness for these on the Day of Resurrection.” He ordered them buried with their blood, without washing them or offering the funeral prayer over them.’

‘Learn the Quran and ask Allah for Paradise through it before a people learn it to seek worldly gain. Three kinds learn the Quran: one who boasts with it, one who earns his living through it, and one who recites it for Allah.’

‘He is not one of us who does not recite the Quran melodiously.’

‘One who has no Quran within him is like a ruined house.’

‘Allah has special people among humankind.’ They asked: ‘Messenger of Allah, who are they?’ He said: ‘The people of the Quran; they are Allah's people and His chosen ones.’

‘The companion of the Quran will be told: “Recite and rise, and recite in measured tones as you did in the world. Your rank will be at the last verse you recite.”’

‘The Quran will come on the Day of Resurrection and say: “My Lord, adorn him.” He will be clothed with the crown of honor. Then it will say: “My Lord, give him more.” He will be clothed with the garment of honor. Then it will say: “My Lord, be pleased with him.” Allah will be pleased with him, and he will be told: “Recite and rise.” With every verse he will receive an additional good deed.’

Hadith
Narrated Aisha: Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became ill, he used to recite the Muawidhatan (i.e. the last two surahs of the Qur'an) and blow his breath over himself (after their recitation ) and rubbed his hands over his body. So when he was afflicted with his fatal illness. I started reciting the Muawidhatan and blowing my breath over him as he used to do and then I rubbed the hand of the Prophet (ﷺ) over his body.
