The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Do not make the Qur’an a pillow, but recite it as it deserves to be recited during the night and the day. Recite it aloud, chant it and consider its contents, perhaps you may prosper; but do not seek to obtain reward for it in this world, for it provides rewards.”
