Merits for Reciting the Qur'aan


The rewards of reciting the Qur'aan are many.
Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward. And that reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that “Alif, Laam, Meem” is a letter, rather I am saying that “Alif” is a letter, “laam” is a letter and “meem” is a letter.” So increase your recitation of the Qur’aan to gain these merits, and to gain the following merit as well.
--Tirmidhi 


In another hadith, Aa’isha (radhiAllaahu 'anha) relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"Verily the one who recites the Qur’aan beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.”
 --Bukhari and Muslim


This hadith proves that people who are not well versed in the Arabic languge or have other difficulties in reciting the Quran, get even a higher reward for reciting the Quran in Arabic for their extra effort.. SubhaanAllaah!
