The Excellence of Reciting The Quran

Today the Imam talked about the Importance of Reciting the Quran. He said the Quran is like the light and the Believers are supposed to follow this light. We are supposed to recite it as often as possible. The Quran will come as an intercessor in the Day of Judgment.

Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Read the Qur'an, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.''
[Muslim].

He also stressed the importance of also acting correctly as mentioned in the Quran. Then he mentioned the abundant reward for reciting the Quran:-

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said:
"Envy is justified in regard to two types of persons only:
a man whom Allah has given knowledge of the Qur'an, and so he recites it during the night and during the day; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and so he spends from it during the night and during the day.''[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

He also warned that if one distances oneself from Quran that person is like a ruined house.

Ibn 'Abbas stated that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A person who has nothing of the Qur'an inside him is like a ruined house."
[at-Tirmidhi]
