SECTION 5- VARIOUS PROPERTIES OF THE HOLY QURAN
|
Encouraging others to recite the Holy Quran |
The Holy
Quran itself is a kind of “Zekr” hence it can share every benefit which Dua
and “Zekr” have.
Furthermore the Holy Quran has an advantage over the two for the
following reasons:
1- The
Holy Quran is the word of God.
2- God’s
chief Name is in the Holy Quran.
3- The
Holy Quran is the dynamic source of knowledge.
Hafass Ibne Ghiass has reported on the authority of Zahri and Imam
Zeinalabedin (AS):
*
*
737. “The
Quranic verses are treasures of Knowledge and whenever a treasure is opened, you
have to see what lies therein.”
4- Recitation
of the Holy Quran is the same as diffusion of the miracle of the Holy Prophet
(SAW) and its preservation by successive hearsay.
5- Recitation
of the Holy Quran, even each letter as it will proved, has rewards:
a- It
has been reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW):
*
*
738. “God
has said: One whose recitation of the Holy Quran keeps him from Dua and
invocation, I will grant him the best reward I give to the grateful ones.”
b- Sheikh
Koleini reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW):
*
*
739. “One
to whom God has given the Holy Quran, if he thinks others have something better
than it, has truly underestimated something great and overestimated something
small.”
c- The
Holy Prophet (SAW) has also said:
*
*
740. “Whenever
the affairs become dubious as a dark night for you, resort to the Help Quran for
it is an intercessor whose intercession is accepted and it is a witness which
has been acknowledged.
Whoever takes it as a guide, it will lead him to paradise and anyone
turning his back on it, it will lead him to the Fire.
The Holy Quran is the most clear guide towards the best ways.
Whoever speaks on the basis of the Holy Quran, people will acknowledge
him and he will succeed.
And whoever judges or rules on the basis of the Holy Quran, he has ruled
on the basis of justice and whoever acted on the basis of the Holy Quran, he
will be rewarded.”
d- Leith
Ibne Saleem has reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW):
*
*
741. “Make
your houses illuminated by reciting the Holy Quran and not leave them as graves
in the same way that the Jews and Christians did, that is, they prayed in
temples and synagogues and did not pray at home, for if the Holy Quran is
recited frequently in every house, it has virtues which the family will enjoy
and it will give light to those in heaven as the stars of heaven give light to
those on the earth.”
e- It
has been reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS):
*
*
742. Whenever
a muslim recites the Holy Quran at home, those in heaven see that house in the
same way that those on the earth see shining stars in heaven.”
f- Imam
Reza has reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW):
*
*
743. “Allocate
a share of the Holy Quran for your houses, for should the Holy Quran be recited
in the house, the affairs are made easy, its welfare increased and those living
in it will have aboundance.
If, on the contrary, the Holy Quran is not recited in a house, those
living in it become destitute, have shortages and little welfare.”
g- Imam
Sadeq (AS) has said:
*
*
744. “A
believer should learn to recite the Holy Quran or he willing to learn it before
his death comes.”
h- Hassan
Ibne Abelhassan Deilami has reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS):
*
*
745. “Reciting
the Holy Quran is better than “Zekr” and “Zekr” better than charity,
charity better than fast, and fast, a shield against the Fire.”
The Imam has also said:
*
*
746. “For
the person who recites the Holy Quran in standing position, there will be a
hundred virtues against every letter which he utters, fifty virtues in sitting
position, twenty five virtues if he recites the Holy Quran with ablution not in
prayer, ten virtues without ablution.
Note that I do not say Aliflammimra is a letter, rather ten virtues for
Alif, ten for lam, ten for mim and ten for raa.”
i- Bashr
Ibne Ghaleb Assadi has reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS):
*
*
747. “Whoever
recites a verse of the Holy Quran while standing in prayer, God will write a
hundred virtues against every letter of it and if he recites it elsewhere, God
will write ten virtues for him against each letter.
If he listens to the recitation of the Holy Quran, he will have a virtue
against each letter.
If he recites the Holy Quran completely during the night, angels will
send greetings to him till morning and if he does so during the day, his
guardian angels will send greetings to him till night.
The Dua of such a person is answered and the best things between heavens
and the earth will be for him.”
The reporter says: I said: This is about one who recites the Holy
Quran, but what about one who does not recite the Holy Quran?
The Imam said:
*
*
“O brother of Bani Assad! God is Generous, Praiser, and Magnanimous.
If he recites whatever he listens to, God will give him the same
reward.”
j- Abdullah
Ibne Soleiman has reported on the authority of Imam Baqer (AS):
*
*
748. “Whoever
recites the Holy Quran while standing in prayer, God will write a hundred
virtues for him against each letter of it and whoever recites the Holy Quran
while sitting in prayer, God will write fifty virtues for him against each
letter and whoever recites it but not in prayer, God will write ten virtues for
him against each letter.”
k- It
has been reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS):
*
*
749. “Whoever
recites one letter from the Holy Quran while sitting in prayer, God will write
for him fifty virtues, removes fifty sins and makes the reward fifty fold.
And whoever recites a letter from the Holy Quran while standing in
prayer, God will write for him a hundred virtues, removes a hundred sins and
makes the reward a hundred fold.
And whoever recites the Holy Quran completely, one Dua of his will be
answered either immediately or with a delay.
The reporter says: May I be sacrificed for you!
To recite the Holy Quran completely?
The Imam said: Yes, to recite the Holy Quran completely.”
*
*
750. “I
heard my father say: The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: One must recite the Holy Quran
as much as one’s knowledge permits.”
l- It
has been reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS):
*
*
751. “Whoever
listens to a letter from the Book of Allah even without reciting it, God will
give him a virtue (reward), removes a sin of his and promotes him a rank.”
m- Khaled
Ibne Maared Flancy has polyquoted Abi Hamzeh and Imam Baqer (AS) as saying:
*
*
752. “Whoever
in Mecca recites the Holy Quran completely from one Friday to the next Friday,
or recites a little more or less, but completes it on Friday, God will write
virtues for him from the first Friday he was in the world to the last Friday he
will be in the world.
If he does so in other days, the same will be true.”
n- Sa-ad
Ibne Tarif has reported on the authority of Imam Baqer (AS):
753. “Whoever
recites ten Quranic verses each night, his name will not be among the negligent
ones and whoever recites fifty verses, he will be among the praisers of God,
whoever recites a hundred verses, he will be among the obedient servant of God,
whoever recites two hundred verses, he will be among the humble ones, whoever
recites three hundred verse, he will be among prosperous ones (those who are
delivered), whoever recites five hundred verses, he will be among the
jurisprudents, whoever recites a thousand verses, a quintal of good deeds will
be written for him.”
|
Reciting the Holy Quran before Going to Bed |
Section
One:
One should not go to bed before reciting some verses of the Holy Quran,
Fozeil Ibne Yassaar has reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS):
*
*
754. “What
keeps your tradesman in bazaar from reciting a Chapter from the Holy Quran
before going to bed when he returns home in which ten virtues will be written
for him against each verse he recites and ten bad deeds will be written off.”
|
Having the Holy Quran at Home and Reciting it |
Section Two:
It is praiseworthy to have a copy of the Holy Quran at home.
In this connection, Imam Sadeq (AS) has said:
*
*
755.
“I would like to have a copy of the Holy Quran at home thereby God
repels satans.”
*
*
756.
“There are three groups complaining to God: A deserted mosque in which
believers do not perform prayer, a scholar among the ignorant ones, and a copy
of the Holy Quran which has been left aside with dust on it & no one
reciting it"
Ishaq Ibne Ammar says: I said to Imam Sadeq (AS): May I be sacrificed for
you I know the Holy Quran by heart.
Shall I recite it by heart or recite from the text?
The Imam (AS) said:
*
*
757.
“Reciting it from the text and look at the lines, for it is better.
Don’t you know that looking at the lines of the Holy Quran is as
prayer.”
*
*
758.
“Whoever reads from the text of the Holy Quran, his eye vision will be
strengthened and his parents’ sins will be forgiven even if they are
unbelievers.”
*
*
759.
“Nothing is more painful for Satan than seeing the Holy Quran is read
while the text is being looked at.
The Holy Quran in every house repels the Satan.”
|
Continued
Memorization of the Holy Quran |
Section
Three:
Abdullah
Ibne Maskaan has reported on the authority of Yaghoob Ahmar: I said to Imam
Sadeq (AS): May I be sacrificed for you! Certain sufferings and calamities
befall me causing me to forget many of the good things even some of the Quranic
verses. The
reporter says: When I mentioned the Holy Quran, the Imam was worried and
said:
*
*
760.
“When a man forgets a Quranic verse, on the Day of Resurrection, the
same verse will appear to him saying: Peace be to you! And he will say: Peace be
to you too, who are you?
It will say: I am such an such verse of the Holy Quran which you
abandoned. If
you had kept me in heart I would have promoted you to a high rank.
Raising his finger, the Imam said: It is incumbent on you to learn the
Holy Quran, for some people learn it so that the people will say: He is reciter
of the Holy Quran, others learn it so that people will say.
He has a good voice.
There is no benefit in those cases.
But some people learn the Holy Quran and keep on reciting it day and
night and it is immaterial for them whether anyone knows it or not.”
*
*
761.
“Whoever forgets Quranic verse, that same verse will appear to him as a
beautiful face and a high rank in Paradise.
Seeing it, he will say: Who are you?
How gracious! I wish you were mine! It says: Don’t you know me?
I am such and such Quranic Chapter.
Had you not forgotten me, I would have promoted you up to here.”
*
*
762.
“The Holy Quran is Allah’s covenant with people.
Therefore, it is incumbent on a muslim to look at his covenant and
recites fifty verses each day.”
Heitham
Ibne Obeid has reported:
*
*
763.
“I asked Imam Sadeq (AS) about a man who had learnt the Holy Quran but
had forgotten it and then remembered what he had forgotten.
Is it blameworthy?
The Imam said: No.”
|
Some
of the Benefits of the Holy Quran |
Section
Four:
Know
that the greatest cure, gems, wonderful properties as well as strange miracles
can be found in the Holy Quran.
The Holy Quran can not be even likened to high mountains, for it is more
sublime nor likened to oceans, for it is more profound.
Should
you look at the sermons and admonitions therein, you will see that the eloquent
orators have benefited from the Holy Quran.
Should you look at its injunctions on what is lawful and unlawful, you
will see that the truthful Mufti and expert jurisprudents have benefited from
the ocean of this Book.
Should you look at its eloquence, you will see the eloquent ones have
benefited from the source of this Book.
Men of letters take pride in interpreting the Holy Quran and getting to
know its fundamentals.
After reading:
*
*
“What
announcement would they then believe in after this?”
(Verse 185, Araf)
*
*
and “We
have not neglected anything in the Book.”
(Verse 38, Anam)
No
one can possibly say a better word.
If you are looking for cure, you can find it therein and it is the same
Book which shows you how to become rich.
The Holy Quran is also an instrument for your Dua to be answered.
This Dua is presented in three sections:
1-
Healing
a-
*
*
764.
“A man was complaining of pain in his breast to the Holy Prophet (SAW).
The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: Seek healing from the Holy Quran, for God
says:
“A
healing for what is in the breasts.”
b-
Sheikh Sadooq has reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW):
*
*
765.
“The healing of my ummah lies in three things: A verse of the Book of
Allah, eating honey, a cupper’s lancet.”
c-
*
*
766.
“Whoever can not be cured by the Quranic Chapter, the opening (Fateha)
he can not be cured by anything else.”
d-
*
*
767.
“Whoever recites the Throne Verse (Ayatolkorsi) before going to bed, he
will be afflicted with paralysis and whoever recites it after each prayer will
not be hurt by any animals having sting.”
e-
*
*
768. “Yes,
write the Throne Verse on your abdomen without paying any Dirham or Dinar.
Also drink a mixture of water and the inscription of the Throne Verse,
you will be cured with the permission of God.”
2- Seeking
sufficiency
a- Hussein
Ibne Ahmad Manghari says: I heard Imam Kazem (AS) saying:
*
*
769. “One
who has certitude, only one verse of the Holy Quran will make him independent of
east and west.”
b- Mofazzal
Ibne Amr has reported on the authority of Imam Kazem (AS):
*
*
770. “O
Mofazzel! Cover yourself from all people with the help of in the name of Allah,
the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Recite it on your right, left, front, and back side as well as over and
under you. Whenever
you go to a tyrant ruler, as soon as you see him, recite it three times and tie
your left hand and do not untie till you leave him.”
c- To
be safe from thieves, recite the following verse before going to bed:
*
*
“Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent God; whichever
you call upon, He has the Best Names; and do not utter your prayer with very
raised voice not be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these.
And say: Praise is due to Allah, who has not taken a son and Who has not
a partner in the Kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace;
and proclaim His greatness magnifying (Him)”
(Verse 110-111, Bani Israel)
In this relation, it has been reported on the authority of Amiralmomenin
(AS):
*
*
771. “Whoever
recites the above-mentioned verses before going to bed, will be safe under
God’s protection from the evil of any rebellious, spiteful, obstinate
Satan.”
d- It
has been reported on the authority of the Imam (AS):
772. “Reciting
*
*
“Surely We have revealed it on the grand night” will help safeguard
what is hidden.”
e- To
be safe from Satan, recite the following before going to bed:
*
*
“Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in
six periods of time, and He is firm in power; He throws the veil of night over
the day, which it pursues incessantly; and He created the sun and the moon and
the stars, made subservient by His command; surely His is the creation and the
command; blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”
It is related that man learnt this from Imam Ali (AS) and then went
to a ruined place.
When he went to sleep there, he forgot to recite the above-mentioned
verse, hence satans surrounded him in a way that Satan took him by the beard.
Satan’s friend said to him: Give him a respite.
The man woke up and recited the verse.
Here Satan said to his friend: God has defeated you, hence you must guard
him till morning.
The man went to Amiralmomenin (AS) and informed him of the story, saying:
I saw healing in your words.
Then he went to the same place after sunrise and saw Satan’s hair were
scattered there.
f-
It has been reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW):
*
*
774. “Whoever
recites the first four verses of the Quranic Chapter the Cow, the Throne verse,
two following verses, and the last three verses of the same Chapter, will not
experience anything unpleasant, Satan will not approach him, and he will not
forget the Holy Quran.”
g- It
has been reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq (AS):
*
*
775. “Whoever
goes to a king whom he fears, when standing before him, should recite: Kaf Ha Ya
Ain Suad (verse 1. Mary) bend one finger of his right hand when reciting each
letter, the recite: Ha Mim Ain Qaf (verse 1-2, The Counsel) and bend fingers of
his left hand reciting: And the face shall be humbled before the Living, the
Self-subsistent God, and he who hears iniquity is indeed a failure (verse III,
Ta Ha) and then opens his hands before his face.
This will repel the evil of that king.”
h- It
has been reported on the authority of Imam Kazem (AS):
*
*
776. Whenever
you fear anything, recite a hundred verses from any Quranic Chapter and say: O
God! Repel tribulation from me three times.”
i-
It has been reported on the authority of Imam Reza (AS):
777. “Abolmonzer
Hesham Saeb Kalbi went to Imam Sadeq (AS).
The Imam said: Are you the same person who interpretes the Holy Quran?
He said: Yes.
The Imam said: In the interpretation of verse 45 of the Quranic Chapter,
the Isrealite where God says:
*
*
“And when you recite the Quran, We place between you and those who
do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier” which verses the Holy
Prophet (SAW) recited that he remained hidden from unbelievers?
He said: I do not know.
The Imam said: Then how do you claim to be an interpreter of the Holy
Quran? He
said: O son of the Holy Prophet! Kindly teach me if you deem it advisable.
The Imam said: One verse is in the Quranic Chapter, the kneeling (Jasiah),
one is in the Bee (Nahl) and one is in the Cave (Kahf) respectively as follow:
*
*
“Have you then considered him who takes his low desire for his god,
and Allah has made him err having knowledge and has set a seal upon his ear and
his heart and put a covering upon his eye.
Who can then guide him after Allah?
Will you not then be mindful?”
*
*
“These are they whose hearts and their hearing and their eyes Allah
has set a seal, and these are the heedless ones.”
*
*
“And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the
communications of his Lord, then he turns away from them and forgets what his
two hands have sent before?
Surely We have placed veils over their hearts lest they should understand
it and a heaviness in their ears; and if you call them to the guidance, they
will not ever follow the right course in that case.”
j- To
untie a man who has been tied up, write the following verse on a piece of paper
and hang it on him:
*
*
“Surely We have given you a clear victory, that Allah may forgive
your community their past faults and those to follow and complete His favor to
you and keep you on a right way.” (Verse 1-2, Fatah)
Then write the Quranic Chapter, the Help (Nasr) and the following verses:
*
*
“And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from
yourselves that you may rest in them, and He put between you love and
compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.”
(Verse 21, Rum)
*
*
“When you have entered it you shall surely be victorious.”
(Verse 23, Maidah)
*
*
“So We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring down and We
made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together
according to a measure already ordained.”
(Verse 11-12, Qamar)
*
*
“He said: O my Lord! Expand my breast for me, and make my affair
easy to me and loose the knot from my tongue that they may understand my
word.”
(Verse 25-28, Ta Ha)
*
*
“And on that day We will leave a part of them in conflict with
another part, and the trumpet will be blown, so We will gather them all
together.”
(Verse 99, Kahf)
*
*
“Thus I set free such and such person, the son of such and such woman, the
daughter of such and such woman.”
*
*
“Certainly an Apostle has come to you from among yourselves; grievous to
him is your falling into distress, excessively solicitous respecting you; to the
believers he is compassionate, merciful.
But if they turn back, say: Allah is sufficient for me, there is no god
but He; on Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of mighty power.”
3- Verse
related to fulfillment of Dua
Reciting any Quranic Verse that has the quality of fulfilling your
desire. Nevertheless,
some of the Quranic verses have been emphasized.
a- Imam
Sadeq (AS) has reported on the authority of his father and the Holy Prophet
(SAW):
*
*
778. “When
God willed to descend the Quranic verse, the Opening, the Throne verse, as well
as verse 18 of the Family of Imran “Allah bears witness that there is no go
but He, and (so do) the angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining His
creation with Justice; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise” and
verses 26-27 of the Family of Imran “Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou
givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from
whomsoever Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest; in Thine hand is the
good; surely, Thou has power over all things.
Thou makest the night, and Thou bringest forth the living from the dead
and thou bringest forth the dead from the living and Thou givest sustenance to
whom Thou pleasest without measure”, They became pendulous in heaven while
there was no veil between them and God.
They said: O God! Are You sending us down to the land of sins towards
those who commit sins while we belong to the domain of purity and holiness.
God said: By My glory! None of My servants did ever recite you unless I
make him dwell in paradise with whatever exists therein, I look at him dwell in
paradise with whatever exists therein, I look at him favourably seventy times a
day, I fulfill seventy desires of his every day the least of which is
forgiveness, I give him shelter against any enemy and help him and nothing
prevents him from entering paradise but death.”
b- In
a Hadith, we read:
*
*
779. “Dua
is answered after reciting the Quranic Chapter, the Unbelivers (Kafirun) ten
times at dawn of Friday.”
c- It
has been reported on the authority of Amiralmomenin (AS):
*
*
780. “Whoever
recites a hundred verses from any Quranic Chapter and then says: O Allah! Seven
times, his Dua is answered and God will make rocks clave for him.”

makes You pleased with me.
Make my heart firm with memorizing Your Book as You taught me in a way
You are pleased with me.
Give my daily food.
O God! Make my eyes illuminated with Your Book , my breast expanded my

but You.”
