| Qur'an and Ramadhan 'Abdullaah Ibn 'Amr (radiallaahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: "The fast and the Qur'aan will intercede for the servant on the Day of Judgement. The fast will say: 'My Lord, I restricted him from food and drink, so allow me to intercede for him.' And the Qur'aan will say: 'I prevented him from sleeping at night, so allow me to intercede for him.' So they will be allowed to intercede." (Saheeh Muslim) Therefore, it is essential for the person fasting to recite the Qur'aan much during these blessed days and honorable nights. For indeed, there is a special virtue for the abundance of recitation in these days, which is not found in any other month. One should take advantage of the nobleness of time during this month, in which Allaah revealed the Qur'aan. There is a special merit to reciting the Qur'aan in the nights of Ramadaan. For indeed, the night brings an end to the busy daily affairs, the enthusiasm is roused and the heart and the tongue mount upon reflecting. And Allaah is the one in whom we seek assistance. It is reported that Jibreel(alaiyhis salaam) used to meet with the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) during each night of Ramadaan and they would rehearse/recite the Qur'aan together. (Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim). So if making thikr(remembrance of Allaah) were better than the Qur'aan or equal to it (on these nights), they would have done that all the time or at certain times along with constantly gathering for that occasion. Thus, this hadeeth illustrates the precedence of reciting/rehearsing the Qur'aan during Ramadaan. The gathering together for that occasion(ie. Taraweeh salaah) is another means of acquiring of rehearsing and listening to the Glorious Qur'an. Easy method to complete the Recitation of the Qur'an Ramadan is the month of the Qura'an Do you want to finish reading the Holy Qura'an this Ramadan Insha-Allah ? All you have to do is to read around 4.5 pages after each prayer Check this out: 4.5 X 5 prayers a day X 30 day = 604 pages(the number of Quran pages) I never knew it was that easy to read the whole Quran each month, by spending few minutes after each prayer , AND WHAT AN INVESTMENT !!! and if you are in real hurry you can finish it once every two months by reading just 2 pages , CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT ??? And remember , each letter you read in Qura'an counts 10 hasanat; what about a word ?? what about a line ?? what about a page ?? what about a juz??? what about the whole Qur'an ??..........?? ~:~:~:~:~:~ Abu Umaamah (ra) reported that the Prophet (saw) said: "Recite the Qur'aan for indeed it will come on the Day of Judgement as an intercessor for its Ashaab (those who read, memorize and implement it)." (Saheeh Muslim). |

| wa iyyakum, I don't think the reward is the same just listening to it?? and I don't think the reward is the same reading it in English. I'm sure you get reward all the same for listening and understanding the meaning though, although i don't know how much.. Allahu alam :) |
