“One who recites a complete Quran between time span of two Fridays or more or less than that then concludes this recitation on Friday Allah would note down the reward of all the good deeds performed from a Friday before his birth till the last Friday. And if he concludes it on any other day then too he will get the same reward.”

“If a youth among believers recites the Holy Quran it gets mixed in his flesh and blood. The Almighty Allah would keep him with virtuous and honored angels and the Holy Quran would act as a shield against the fire of Hell for him on the Day of Judgment. The Holy Quran would say, ‘People who acted upon anything except me have got their result. O Allah! You give the best rewards to these people’. Allah would make the reciter of the Holy Quran wear two dresses of Paradise and keep the crown of honor on his head. Allah would tell the Holy Quran, ‘Are you satisfied now?’ It would reply, ‘I desire a better reward’. Now Allah would grant peace from right and an eternal Paradise from left and then make him enter Paradise. He would be told in Paradise, ‘Go on reciting a verse of the Holy Quran and your position will go on increasing by one level for each of them’. Then the Holy Quran would be addressed, ‘Are you pleased now?’ The Holy Quran would say, ‘Yes my Lord!’” Imam (a.s.) says that one who recites the Holy Quran much and is regular in it, the Almighty Allah would grant him this reward twice.

Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked, “Who is the best of men?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “One who comes and goes.” He was again asked, “What is meant by one who comes and goes?” He replied, “One who starts and ends. One who starts reciting the Holy Quran and ends it. There is no one nearer to Allah than him and his supplications are accepted.”

One from our Shias who dies without having a good knowledge of recitation of the Holy Quran, is taught the Holy Quran in grave so that Allah grants him great ranks. Know that the levels of Paradise are equal to the number of verses in the Holy Quran. A reciter of the Holy Quran is told over there, ‘Recite a verse of the Holy Quran and go to the next level’.”

Recite the Quran in a pleasant voice, in the style of Arabs. You are ordered to avoid the transgressors and doers of greater sins. Certainly, such people will appear in the world who will recite the Quran in a singing manner to make the listeners emotional. It is not allowed to go near these people or to call them near you. The hearts of these people have deviated and those who are influenced by them shall also have their hearts deviated.
