The Five Benefits of Listening to the Qur'an

Dear brothers and sisters, there are five beautiful, significant benefits that we can take through just listening to the Qur'an.

Benefit One: The Mercy of Allah

Number one, Allah gives us that benefit which is the most important thing in our life and the most important objective of the hereafter:

And when the Qur'an is being recited, you stay silent and you listen attentively. What will your benefit be? Allah will bless you with His mercies.

Benefit Two: Glad Tidings of Guidance

The second benefit — Allah gives us His glad tidings. Allah blesses us with His glad tidings of guidance. Who is receiving these glad tidings?

Allah says: give glad tidings to My servants. Which ones? Who are you referring to, ya Allah? The ones that listen to the Qur'an. Those are the ones — هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ — that Allah has made their guidance concrete.

Benefit Three: Peace and Tranquility of the Heart

Number three, the third benefit — Allah says:

That we find ease, and we find solace, and we find peace — in our life, in our soul, within our family — because we give the Qur'an some time. We give it a lending ear.

Benefit Four: Protection from Daily Hardships

The fourth benefit of listening to the Qur'an — what Ibn Taymiyyah says — is that it becomes a source of protecting us from the daily hardships that we can go through. We are protected from it by simply listening to the Qur'an:

And We have revealed in the Qur'an every single cure for a disease or a hardship. It's there for us.

Benefit Five: Increase in Iman

And the final benefit that I will discuss today is perhaps one of the most important benefits — that those who listen to the Qur'an, Allah continues to increase their Iman. Allah amplifies their Iman:

These are the five benefits, dear brothers and sisters, that we get from simply giving the Qur'an our full attention.
