Benefits of Reading the Quran
Whenever you think of reciting this noblest book, you must prepare according to some conditions. These conditions include purity, wuzzu, and mental preparation to get the reward from Allah. If you fulfill these terms, no one can dare stop you from achieving the benefits we will discuss in the following passages.
Does the Quran affect our health?
Yes, the Quran is a great source that works to improve our health. A surah named "Surah Rahman" is used by people to listen whenever they suffer from any illness. The Holy Prophet said, "Surah Ikhlaas is the best treatment for all diseases but death."
Mental relaxation
Once, Imam Ali sat on the stage of Masjid e Kufa and said: "Whenever I want to talk to Allah, I go for prayer, and when I want Allah to talk to me, I read the Quran." Now we can imagine how powerful and calming a scenario will be when Allah talks to us. Nothing is more calming than it. So, reciting this holy book regularly keeps our minds relaxed and fills our hearts with light.
What mental benefits do I get from reading the Quran?
Reading the Quran regularly removes anxiety and stress from life. Moreover, you will see the elimination of negative emotions.
Reward from Allah
The Holy Prophet said, "Allah has promised to offer 10 rewards against reciting a single letter of the Quran." However this statement needs no more explanation as these words are stated from the tongue of Hazrat Mohammad, and in the Quran, Allah says: "My prophets never say something by his own, but I say." It may clarify the rewards and benefits of reading the Quran.
Connects to Allah
In any of the previous passages, we quoted the saying of Imam Ali. That saying reveals that reading the words of Allah takes our hearts close to Allah. This advantage does not require any clearance because this book comprises instructions and lessons from previous times. On the other hand, spending life according to Allah's teachings is always beneficial for us.
How does the Quran bring us close to our creator?
The first and most crucial condition to connect with Allah is to keep the soul fresh and pure, and nothing is better than recitation to save the soul in pure form.
Offers the higher rank in this world, and Jannah
Regular recitation of the Quran offers rewards, which is new to none. On the other hand, living life according to the instructions of this Holy Book leads us to success in our lives. It means that a strong affiliation with this magical book is responsible for a higher rank in this world and Jannah.
Unlocks life's secrets and existential questions
Indeed, the Quran aids Muslims in comprehending the mysteries of the cosmos in which they live. In addition, the Quran teaches children more about the secrets of creation and the rules that govern the cosmos.
If you ponder on the Quran, you will find flawless answers to the existential issues that plague you. To be more specific, you can find solutions to topics like the meaning of life, man's identity, the ultimate goal, and the way to true happiness and tranquillity.
Enlightens the soul
Our souls are in direct connection with the thoughts and deeds we make. On the other hand, the Holy Quran always recommends avoiding actions that can endanger us and always recommends being a performer of positivity. Keeping the body away from sinful activity reveals that our souls will not become hell-fed.
How does the Quran describe soul purification?
Purification is attained via earnest supplications, prayers, and charitable deeds toward others. We must remember that on the Day of Resurrection, we shall be judged according to our hearts' purity and our acts' righteousness. Allah is the source of success and knows best.
Guidance source
As humans, we continuously need someone to talk to and share our troubles with. While performing dua is one way to communicate with Allah, you can also get answers through reading the Quran. It is one of the methods by which Allah interacts with us. He handed down instructions for us 1400 years ago! Allah SWT mentions in a handful of Surahs of the Quran:
"A Book we have sent down to you in order for you to bring mankind out of the darkness and into the light." 14:1 (Surah Ibrahim)
If you read the Quran, it will astonish you at how it communicates to you and soothes you and how the answers to your troubles hide between the lines.
Conclusion
We have eye-witnessed many benefits of reading the Quran; even listening to and reading the Quran offers the treatment of many fatal diseases. Moreover, cardiac relaxation, rewards in life and after death, and a strong connection with Allah are the expected benefits of reading the Quran. Lastly, people with solid bonds with the Almighty are prone to feel these advantages. For this purpose, keeping the body and soul clean is necessary.
