Learn and Teach the Qur'an

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

The best of knowledge is the knowledge of the Quran. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said,

"The best of you are the students of the Quran and the teachers of it." [Bukhari]

The recitation of the Quran should have an affect on the student as they recite the words of their Creator. The student of the Quran is affected by knowing their Creator, increasing their taqwa, increasing their memory function, and in saying the best of words in the most fluent way. This is, of course for those that perfect the articulation points and know the proper stops and starts.

Imam Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah be merciful to him, said, "Who learned the Quran was magnified in value; who wrote al-hadeeth, his argument was strengthened; who studied fiqh, his position was honored; who studied the language improved his speech; and who studied [shari'ah] accounting will have a judicious opinion.

May Allah make learning, understanding, and teaching the Quran easy for us and bless us in it. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
