How Can We Benefit from the Holy Quran? Listen and focus : When we hear the Holy Quran being recited, we should remain silent and listen to the words of God. God states, “Whenever the Quran is recited (to you), listen to it quietly so that you may receive mercy.” (7:204) Read a few verses of the Holy Quran at home: The words of the Holy Quran can pour light into one’s home when it is recited. The Holy Prophet states “Brighten your homes by the recitation of the Holy Quran.” Teach the Holy Quran to our youth: If we have some knowledge of the Holy Quran, whether we have a few verses memorized or we know the meaning of the verses, we should teach it to others, especially our youngsters. The Holy Prophet states, “ Whoever teaches his children the Quran , it is as if he made ten thousand Hajj (pilgrimage) and ten thousand Umrah" We must make our very best effort to be one of those who implement the teachings of the Quran and allow it to be a guiding force in our lives
