In this lesson we will learn how to respect the Holy Qur’an and how to recite it.
1. The words of the Holy Qur'an should only be touched after doing
Wudhu. Allah says: None should touch it except the purified.(al-Wáqi`áh, 56:79)
4. Even if you know the verses by heart, it is better to recite while looking at the words,
as this increases the rewards many times.
5. It is Mustahab to recite the Holy Qur'an with your head covered and while facing the
Qiblah.
7. When the Qur’an is being recited, listen attentively and do not eat or talk.
Allah says:
And when the Qur’an is recited, listen to it with (full) attention, so that you may
be blessed with mercy. (Al-A`raf, 7:204)
8. Do not leave the Holy Qur'an open and unattended or in a place where it may be
disrespected. Recite from it regularly and do not leave it unread on the shelf.
Allah says:
And the Prophet (S) shall say, “O my Lord! Verily my people abandoned this
Qur’an.” (Al-Furqan, 25:30)
10. Worn-out pages of the Holy Qur'an or paper with verses of the
Holy Qur'an must not be thrown in the bin, Instead they should be Re-
cycled or buried.

According to many traditions, the revelation of the Holy Qur’an began on the 23rd night
of the month of Ramadhan (Laylatul Qadr). They began when the Prophet (S) was 40
years old and continued for the next 23 years.
The Holy Qur’an broadly contains:
1. Ahkam: These are verses about the Furu’-e-Din from which the
Mujtahidín prepare the various Fatwas to do with Salaat, Sawm,
Haj etc.
2. Tareekh: These are the verses that narrate the history of people
who lived before our Holy Prophet (S).
3. `Aqa’id: These are verses that explain the Belief in the Unity of Allah, the Prophet
(S) and the Day of Judgement.
TAWHEED ADAALAT N ABUWWAT IMAAMAT QIYAAMAT
- His duties to himself i.e. how to lead a successful life in this world and the
hereafter.
- How to act with other people i.e. how to contribute as an individual towards the
betterment of society.
- His duty to his Creator i.e. how to worship Allah.
The Prophet (S) has said, “The most excellent amongst you is the one who learns the
Qur’an and teaches it to others.”
“The more Qur’an is recited in a home, the greater the good for it. The lives of the
people in the house are made easier. When the angels view this house from the
heavens they see it shining in the same way as stars seen from the earth.”
“The heart gathers rust just like iron; remove this rust by reciting the Qur’an.”
“Whosoever recites 100 verses daily from the Book (Holy Qur’an) in the order it is in,
Alláh writes for him the reward equal to all the good actions of every one on this earth.”
The number at the top signifies the number that this Ruku` is in the Surah.
The number in the middle signifies the number of Ayat between the last Ruku`
and the present one.
The number at the bottom signifies the number that this Ruku` is in the Juz’.
So, in this example from Súrah al-Baqarah,
This is the 23rd Ruku` in the Surah,
there are 6 Ayat between Ruku` number 22 and 23, and this is the
7th Ruku’ in this Juz’
and this is the 7th Ruku` in this Juz’.
Ayat 1-9: The Surah talks about the punishment for the one
who slanders, the one who backbites, and the miser who
hoards.
The Prophet (S) has said that one who recites this Surah will be granted ten good deeds for each
and everyone who ridiculed the Holy Prophet (S) and his companions.
Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq (A) has said about this Surah, "Whoever reads it in his optional prayers, it
will ward off poverty from him, bringing him sustenance and protecting him against a tragic
death."
