Inspirations from the Holy Qur’an – 3

March 4, 2025 / editor

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 – 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)
