Quran holds great importance for Muslims today because it is the word of Allah Almighty Himself. It is the primary source of knowledge for Muslims, and thus we look upon it as a source of guidance in our lives. Quran is the mode of communication of Allah from the heavens to the earth. Whenever we are finding it hard to talk to someone else, we can always talk to Allah through His Holy book that He has given us and find answers to all of our problems. Moreover, the most astonishing thing is that despite the fact the Quran was revealed over 1400 years ago, it still exists just as it was and is able to guide mankind! Allah Almighty talks about this in the Quran:

كِتابٌ أَنزَلناهُ إِلَيكَ لِتُخرِجَ النّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النّورِ

“A Book We have sent down to you so that you may bring forth mankind from the darkness into the light…”.

(Surah Ibrahim, 14:1)

However, in modern times it has become quite hard to keep up with the recitation and teachings of the Quran due to reduced accessibility to proper resources, since not everyone has access to a physical copy of the Quran or proper teachers at all times. This is where TarteeleQuran comes in. Fortunately, TarteeleQuran offers online Quran lessons with Tajweed where you can not only read the Quran at your own ease but also understand it from qualified teachers, without any constraint of place. Whether you are in USA or Canada or Australia, you can easily access TarteeleQuran.com.

Furthermore,  it very common to teach kids how to recite the Quran but merely learning to read the Quran is not enough. Most people aren’t even aware of the importance of reciting Quran in Islam. Especially for Muslims living abroad in countries such as Australia, the UK, Canada, or USA ,who do not have access to a local teacher or scholar to help them with learning Arabic and its proper pronunciation, the best online Quran lessons can always be found on TarteeleQuran. These online Quran lessons for kids and adults are tailored to the student’s expertise level in the course, and not only allow us to read the Quran but understand it as well.

There is great reward for people who read the Quran. A hadis narrated by the wife of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him), Hazrat Ayesha (RA), tells us that Allah will reward his servants for every letter that they read from the Quran. The significance of this hadis can be gauged from the following words:

“Whoever recites a letter from Allah’s Book, then he receives the reward from it, and the reward of ten the like of it. I do not say that Alif Lam Mim is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.”

Furthermore, Quran is a form of Ibaadat and it calms your solace. When you recite the Quran, you attain solace and inner peace as is said in the Quran by Allah himself:

الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَتَطمَئِنُّ قُلوبُهُم بِذِكرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلا بِذِكرِ اللَّهِ تَطمَئِنُّ القُلوبُ

“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured”

(Surah Ar-Ra’ad, 13:28)

Yet the best thing still about reciting the Quran is that Allah Almighty is so Merciful, even if you try to recite the Quran but end up pronouncing words wrong or are stuttering, He will not punish you for that. Instead, He will reward you! He understands that for most of the people out their Arabic is not their native language and as a beginner, it is inevitable that you might stutter or face difficulty in reading it fluently. Hazrat Ayesha (RA) is said to have reported a hadis from the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him):

الذي يقرأ القرآن وهو ماهر به مع السفرة الكرام البررة، والذي يقرأ القرآن ويتتعتع فيه وهو عليه شاق له أجران‏

“The one who is proficient in the recitation of the Qur’an will be with the honourable and obedient scribes (angels), and he who recites the Qur’an and finds it difficult to recite, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have two rewards.”  

(Sahih Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

At another place, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:

“Verily the one who recites the Quran 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.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

It is so beautiful to know that we are rewarded just for trying to recite the Quran properly. Allah Almighty has also talked about how easy He has made the learning and recitation of Quran for us to comprehend regardless of who we are. It is mentioned in Surah-As-Saad:

كِتابٌ أَنزَلناهُ إِلَيكَ مُبارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّروا آياتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الأَلبابِ

“[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [Oh Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded…”

(Surah Sad 38:29)

However, we also need to keep in mind that while using our judgement to figure out the right path, it is also essential to take help in understanding verses from scholars who have years of expertise in this area and can guide us better. Usman bin Affan (RA) reported the Prophet (PBUH) saying:

“The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it.” (Sahih Bukhari)

In the Prophet (PBUH)’s last sermon, he is also reported to have said:

“I leave behind me two things, the Quran and the Sunnah (Hadith), and if you follow these you will never go astray.”

These ahadis elucidate why Quranic lessons are such an essential building block in a Muslim’s life.
