Al- Quran My best friend
The best of you are the ones who learn the
Quran and teach it to others Al-Bukhari

Al- Quran My best friend
Verily the one who recites the Quran
beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be
in the company of the noble and obedient angels.
And as for the one who recites with difficulty,
stammering or stumbling through its verses, then
he will have TWICE that reward.
Al-Bukhari and Muslim

Al- Quran My best friend
Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said
"It will be said to the beholder of the Quraan
Recite, ascend, and Rattil (recite slowly and
distinctly) as you used to Rattil in the life of
this world, for verily your level (in Paradise)
is at the last verse you read

(Abu Dawud At-Tirmidhi)

Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah,
he will have a reward. And that reward will be
multiplied by ten. I am not saying that Alif,
Laam, Meem is a letter, rather I am saying that
Alif is a letter, laam is a letter and meem
is a letter. So increase your recitation of the
Quran to gain these merits, and to gain the
following merit as well.

(At-Tirmizi)

heart, is like a house (which has been)
destroyed."

Al- Quran My best friend
The Quran is an intercessor, something given
permission to intercede, and it is rightfully
believed in. Whoever puts it in front of him, it
will lead him to Paradise whoever puts it behind
him, it will steer him to the Hellfire.
