The Prophet Muhammad said, addressing the Companions, 'O You Devotee of the Qur'an!, , but read it properly day and night as it ought to be read.
Propagate the Holy Qur'an. Read it in a good voice and think over its contents so that you may succeed. Do not seek a reward for it (in this life) because it has a magnificent reward in the hereafter.'
Personal Comment: The Commentary for the above relates to eight points. They are-
'Devotee of the Qur'an'. Those who read it
'Read it properly day and night as it ought to be read' It should be read every day and every night and with meaning.
'Propagate the Holy Qur'an'. This has two points. The first is that we should know what is in the Qur'an sufficiently to be able to pass on the knowledge of the Qur'an to everyone else; Muslims and Non Muslims alike.
'Read it in a good voice' We have been taught the correct manner of recitation and should read the Qur'an accordingly. If we do, it will be in a good voice.
'Think over its contents so that you may succeed.' A person who ponders over the meanings of the Qur'an and acts accordingly can never go astray.
'Do not seek a reward for it' Reward is from Allah and we should not seek financial payment for reciting, to make recitation a means of living or to seek fame and a following or to show off.
'It has a magnificent reward in the hereafter.' If we truly expect reward from Allah, it will come in the next world, that is a guarantee.
