Listening to Recitation

[MUHAMM7D]

Listening to recitation is the perfume of the souls, the calmer of hearts, and the food of the spirit. Is is one of the most important psychological medicines. It is a source of pleasure, even to some animals - and pleasure in moderation purifies inner energy, enhances the functioning of the faculties, slows down senile decay by driving out its diseases, improves the complexion, and refreshes the entire body. Pleasure in excess, on the other hand, makes the illnesses of the body grow worse.

Abu Nu'aim states, in his Tib an-Nabbi, that the Prophet (pbuh) said that the benefits of listening to recitation are increased when it is understood - that is, when its meaning is understood. Allah Himself says:

...so give good news to My slaves, those who listen to the word and then follow the best of it...(Qur'an: 39.17-18)​

Salaam,

What is the opinion on if you listen to a recording of the recitation while doing work, like homework or studying, as a way to calm you down and help you focus?

I ask this because I remember hearing that if you hear the recitation of the Quran you should focus and listen attentatively and not ignore it.

Anyone have suggestions?

Yea bro, I want to know that too. Sometimes you listen just for the reason that you've mentioned or not to hear something else (e.g. music).
