قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ
(صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
وَسَلَّمَ): إِنَّ قَراءَةَ
الْقُرآنِ كَفّارَة لِلذُّنُوبِ
وَ سِتْر فِي النّارِ وَ أَمان
مِنَ الْعَذابِ وَ يَنْـزِلُ
عَلـى صاحِبِهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ
يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ الْمَلائِكَةُ
وَ اشْتاقَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةُ
وَ رَضِيَ عَنْهُ الْمَوْلـى.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be
upon him and his family) has
said: “Surely the recitation of
the Qur’an is an atonement for
the sins, a covering
(protection) from the Hell Fire,
and a safety from the
punishment. Mercy will descend
upon the recite, the Angels will
seek forgiveness for him, Heaven
will long for that person, and
his Master (Allah) will be
pleased with him.”

قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ
(صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
وَسَلَّمَ): أَهْلُ الْقُرآنِ فِي
أَعْلى دَرَجَةٍ مِنَ
الآدَمِيِّينَ ما خَلا
النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ.
فَلا تَسْتَضْعِفُوا أَهْلَ
الْقُرآنِ وَ حُقُوقَهُم فَإِنَّ
لَهُمْ مِنَ اللّهِ لَمَكاناً.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be
upon him and his family) has
said: “The people of the Qur’an
(those who recite and those who
memorize the Qur’an) will be in
the highest level (in Heaven)
from amongst all of the people
with the exception of the
Prophets and Messengers. Thus,
do not seek to degrade the
people of the Qur’an, nor take
away their rights, for surely
they have been given a high rank
by Allah.”

قالَ الإِمامُ عَلِيُّ
بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ البّاقِرُ
(عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ): إِنَّ
كِتابَ اللّهِ أَصْدَقَ
الْحَدِيثَ وَ أَحْسَنُ الْقَصَصِ
وَ قالَ اللّهُ تَعالـى: ))وِ
إِذا قُرِئَ الْقُرآنُ
فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَ أَنْصِتُوا
لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ))
Imam Muhammad ibne ‘Ali al-Baqir (peace be
upon him) has said: “Surely the
Book of Allah is the most
truthful of all narrations, and
the best of all stories, and
Allah has said:
(And
when the Qur’an is being
recited, then listen to it and
remain silent so that perhaps
mercy may be shown to you.)” [Suratul A’raf (7), Verse 204
