  • Do’s and Dont’s for Eating and Drinking from the Holy Qur’an

  • Inspirations from the Holy Qur’an – 3
    After recitation, we should collect the copies of the Qur’an in a respectful manner, and put them in the proper place. This is one of the highly recommended and liked etiquettes among the Muslims around the world, and they would frown upon leaving this Divine Book of such a high status, lying around after recitation.
Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said that 
whoever honors the Holy Qur’an will be honored on the Day of Judgement. (al-Kafi Vol. 2 Pg. 602, H. 14). One of the best ways to honor the Qur’an is to put it in an appropriate place. 
In order to appreciate the high status of the Holy Qur’an, let us look at another hadith from the Holy Prophet (saww). He (s) said, “One who recites the Qur’an and thinks someone else has been granted better than him has looked down upon what Allah (swt) has honored, and honored what Allah (swt) has abased.” (Wasa’il al-Shi’ah Vol. 6, Pg. 170, H. 3)
  • Inspirations from the Holy Qur’an – 2
    The Holy Prophet (saww) is reported to have said, “Beautify the recitation of the Holy Qur’an with a pleasant voice.” (Wasa’il al-Shia Vol. 4 Pg. 859 H.6)
When the Holy Qur’an is being recited, listen to it attentively 
and be silent, so that you may be shown mercy. (Q7:204)
Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “When the 
Holy Qur’an is being recited, be quiet and listen to it 
attentively.” (Wasa’il al-Shia Vol 4 Pg. 861 H.4)
  • Inspirations from the Holy Qur’an – 1
    Imam Ali al-Ridha (a) is reported to have said, “The best time for reciting the Holy Qur’an is after the completion of the Morning Prayer.” 
Imam al-Baqir (a) is reported to have said, “There is a spring for everything, and the spring of the Qur’an is the Month of Ramadhan.” (Al-Kafi Vol. 2  Pg. 630)
Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “… Verily [the month of] Ramadhan has a special right and sanctity that the other months do not have. The Holy Qur’an is to be read in 
a measured tone. When you come to a verse that mentions 
Paradise, pause and ask Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, to grant you Paradise, and when you come to a verse that mentions 
hellfire, then pause and seek refuge with Allah from the fire of hell.” (Al-Kafi. Vol. 2  Pg. 617)
  • The Different States of Mothers in the Holy Qur’an
    And We have commanded people to honor their parents. 
Their mothers bore them in hardship and delivered them 
in hardship … (Q46:15)
And ‘remember’ when the angels said, “O Maryam! Surely 
Allah has selected you, purified you and chosen you over 
all women of the world. (Q3:42)

    They were both chaste. (Q66:12)
Angels spoke to both of them.  (Q3:45)

    It is a 
praiseworthy 
trait. (Q3:186)

loves those who 
possess taqwa. (Q3:76)
    The muttaqin are saved from hellfire. (Q19:72)
Godwariness leads one to eternal bliss in Paradise. (Q3:133)
One’s actions are reformed through it. (Q33:70-71)

    The Qualities of the Qur'an mentioned in the Holy Qur'an
  • Qualities of True Believers in the Holy Qur’an
    The true believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the 
remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord. (Q8:2)
  • Types of Rewards in the Holy Qur’an
    Allah has promised those who believe and do good [His] forgiveness and a great reward. (Q5:9) 
Indeed, those in awe of their lord without 
seeing Him will have forgiveness and 
a mighty reward. (Q67:12)
Who is it that will lend to Allah a good loan which He will multiply [many times over] for them, 
and they will have an honourable reward. (Q57:11)
Those who believe and do good will certainly 
have a never-ending reward. (Q41:8)
