The excellent qualities of the Quran

1.Hazrat Usman reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "The best among you is he who learns and teaches the Quran". (Bukhari). 2. Hazrat Uqba b. Amir said : When we were in the Suffa, God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) came out and asked, "Which of you would like to go out every morning to Buthan or al-'Aqiq and bring two large humped she-camels without being guilty of sin or severing ties of relationship." We replied : "Messenger of God (Be peace upon him) we would all like that." He said, "Does not one of you go out in the morning to the mosque and teach or recite two verses of God's Book ? That is better for him than two she-camels and three verses are better for him than three she- camels, four verses are better for him than four she-camels and so on than their numbers in camels." 3. Hazrat Abu Huraira reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "Would one of you like, when he returns to his family, to find there three large, fat pregnant she-camels" ? When we replied that we would, he said, "Three verses which one of you recites in his prayers are better for him than three large, fat, pregnant she-camels." (Muslim). 4. Hazrat Aisha reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "One who is skilled in the Quran is associated with the noble, upright recording angels ; and he who falters when reciting the Quran and finds it difficult for him will have a double reward." (Bukhari and Muslim). 5. Hazrat Ibn Umar reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "Jealousy is justified only regarding two types : a man who, having been given the Quran by God, stands (in prayer) reciting it during the night and during the day ; and a man who having been given wealth by God, spends on others from it during the night and during the day." (Bukhari and Muslim). 6. Hazrat Abu Musa al-Ashari reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "A believer who recites the Quran is like a Citron whose fragrance is sweet and whose taste is sweet, a believer who does not recite the Quran is like a date which has no fragrance but has a sweet taste, a hypocrite who does not recite the Quran is like the colocynth which has no fragrance and has a bitter taste, and the hypocrite who recites the Quran is like basil whose fragrance is sweet but whose taste is bitter." (Bukhari and Muslim). 7. Hazrat Umar b. al-Khattab reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "By this Book God exalts some peoples and lowers others." (Muslim). 8. Hazrat Ibn Abbas reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying "Anyone who has nothing of the Quran within him is like a ruined house." (Tirmidhi and Dairmi). 9. Hazrat Abu Sa`id reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as stating, "God who is blessed and exalted says, 'To him who is so occupied with the Quran as to neglect making mention of me and making request of me I will give the most excellent things 1 give to those who ask."- 1 The superiority of God's words over all other words is like God superiority over His creatures." (Mishkat). 10. Hazrat Ibn Masud reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "If anyone recites a letter of God's Book he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a tenfold reward. 1 do not say that Alif Lam Mim are one letter, but Alif is a letter,. Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter." (Mishkat). 1 1. Hazrat Ali said he had heard God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) say "Dissension will certainly come", and when asked him how it could be avoided he .replied, "God's Book is the way, for it contains information of what has happened before you, news of what will happen after you, and a decision regarding matters which occur among you. It is the distinguisher and is not jesting. If any overweening person abandons it God will lead him astray. It is God's strong cord, it is the wise reminder, it is the straight path, it is that by which the desires do not swerve, nor the tongues become confounded and the learned cannot be saturated with it. It does not become worn out by repetition and its wonders do not come to an end. It is that which the jinn did not hesitate to say when they heard it, 'We have heard a wonderful recital which guides to what is right, and we believe in it.' He who utters it speaks the truth, he who acts according to it is rewarded, he who pronounces judgment according to it is just, and he who invites people to it guides to a straight path." (Tirmidhi and Dairmi). 12. Hazrat Mu'adh al-Juhani reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, "If anyone recites the Quran and acts according to its contents, on the Day of Resurrection his parents will be given to wear a crown whose light is better than the light of the sun in the dwellings of this world if it were among you. So what do you think of him who acts according to this ?" (Ahmad and Abu Dawood) 13. Hazrat Ali reported God's Messenger (Be peace upon him) as saying, ,If anyone recites the Quran, learns it by heart, declares what is lawful in it to be lawful and what is unlawful in it to be unlawful, God will bring him into Paradise and make him intercessor for ten of his family all of whom have deserved Hell." (Mishkat).
