Kapanlagi.com - The Quran is a holy book for Muslims worldwide. This book serves as a guide for human beings in their daily lives, worship, and to know Allah SWT. Even reading the Quran can bring extraordinary rewards.

In addition, memorizing and practicing the Quran also receives extraordinary rewards from Allah SWT. So it's no wonder that many Muslims diligently read the Quran for their salvation in this world and the hereafter. Reading the Quran is one of the most important worship acts that have various virtues.

As narrated by an-Nu'man ibn Basyir, which means: The Messenger of Allah shallahu 'alaihi wasallam said, "The best worship of my people is reading the Quran." (HR. al-Baihaqi). Being one of the best worship acts, it is no wonder that the Quran has many benefits for human life.

And what are the benefits of reading the Quran for those who diligently read it? According to various sources, these are the benefits of reading the Quran. Let's check it out KLovers.

1. Good for Physical and Mental Health

The first benefit of reading the Quran is that it is very good for physical and mental health. By reading the Quran, it can be a remedy for diseases and bring tranquility to the heart. Even ruqyah uses recitation of the Quran to obtain health that comes from Allah SWT.

Even Allah SWT says: "And We send down of the Quran that which is healing and mercy for the believers" (Quran, Al-Israa: 82).

In addition, in Surah Ar-Ra'd, Allah SWT says: "Those who believe and whose hearts are set at rest by the remembrance of Allah. Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest" (Quran, Ar-Ra'd: 28).

2. Away from Misguidance

Another benefit of reading the Quran is that it keeps us away from the misguidance of the world and the temptations of the accursed Satan. Those who make it a habit to regularly read the Quran will not go astray or be doomed. As Allah SWT says:

"So if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter]" (Quran, Thaahaa: 123).

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: "Allah 'Azza wa Jalla guarantees that whoever reads the Quran and acts upon its teachings will not go astray in this world and will not be doomed in the Hereafter."

3. Making the House Brighter

It is not unfamiliar to Muslims that those who regularly read the Quran at home can make the house brighter. The Prophet Muhammad SAW likened the benefits of reading the Quran at home to humans. The Prophet shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"The example of a house that is mentioned by the name of Allah in it and a house that is not mentioned by the name of Allah in it is like the example of a living person and a dead person."

Even Imam an-Nawawi said: "In this hadith, there is an encouragement to (often) remember Allah 'Azza wa Jalla (including reading the Quran and other remembrances) at home and the house should not be devoid of remembrance (to Him)."

So, this noble hadith shows that a house that is always filled with the recitation of the Quran and remembrance will always be bright. Not only that, the house will also provide tranquility and peace.

4. Protected from Satan

In addition to making the house brighter, it turns out that reading the Quran also has the benefit of protecting the house from jinn and Satan, KLovers. In a surah, Allah SWT says: "Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. Indeed, Satan is to mankind a clear enemy." (QS Faathir: 6).

In a sahih hadith, the Messenger of Allah shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Do not make your house like a grave (by not performing prayers and reading the Quran in it), for indeed, Satan will flee from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited."

In the wording of the hadith narrated by at-Tirmidhi, it is also mentioned: "Indeed, Satan will not enter a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited."

5. Giving Intercession in the Hereafter

Reading the Quran can bring goodness and honor that has never been imagined by humans before, even on the Day of Judgment with great honor.

Like the hadith that states: "Read the verses of the Quran because on the Day of Judgment it will come to intercede for its reciter," (HR. Muslim)

In this hadith, the Quran will come and testify to Allah SWT for those who diligently read it. With this testimony, the Quran will help someone by giving them honor in the Hereafter.

6. Providing Intelligence

Furthermore, the benefits of reading the Quran are also very good in providing intelligence, especially for children. Sometimes, many parents ask when is the best time to introduce the Quran to their children. In fact, the earlier the better, KLovers. Parents can even start teaching their children to memorize the Quran at the age of 2.

This is because reading and listening to the Quran frequently will improve the child's brain development. Besides being able to directly observe the child's development in learning, the direct involvement of parents in reading the Quran will also have a positive impact on communication with the child. Even if reading and listening to the Quran becomes a routine activity, it will be easier for children to concentrate.

7. Acquiring Glory

And the benefit of reading the Quran is to acquire glory in this world and in the hereafter. In fact, this is stated in a hadith that says:

Whoever reads the Quran and acts upon its contents, both of his parents will be crowned on the Day of Judgment. The radiance (of the crown) is better than the light of the sun in the houses of this world. If the sun were to be in your house (filled with its light), then what do you think of the one who acts upon this (the Quran)? (HR. Abu Daud).

Those are some of the benefits of regularly reading the Quran for physical and spiritual health. Not only does it provide great rewards from Allah, but reading the Quran will also provide many other benefits for those who read it sincerely for the sake of Allah.
