The Prophet ﷺ said: "The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it" (Bukhari).

With the Noble Angels

"The one who is proficient in reciting the Quran will be with the noble and righteous scribes (angels), and the one who recites it with difficulty, stumbling, will have a double reward" (Bukhari and Muslim). This hadith is a great encouragement for beginners and adults.

An Intercessor

"Read the Quran, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its companions" (Muslim).

Reward for Every Letter

"Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will have a reward, and the reward is multiplied by ten" (Tirmidhi).
