Ten virtues for one letter

The Noble and Glorious Quran is the Sacred Word of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ; reciting the Quran, teaching the Quran, listening to the Quran, and reciting the Quran for others to listen to, are all rewarding acts. On reciting one letter of the Holy Quran, one reaps ten virtues. In this respect, the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Whoever recites one letter of the Book of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he will get one virtue which will be equivalent to ten virtues. I am not saying that الٓــمّٓ (Alif-Lām-Mīm) is one letter; in fact اَلِـف (Alif) is one letter, لَام (Lām) is one letter, and مِـیْـم (Mīm) is one letter.’ (Sunan-ut-Tirmiżī, vol. 4, pp. 417, Ḥadīš 2919)

Tilāwat kī taufīq day day Yā Ilāĥī

Gunāĥaun kī ĥo dūr dil say siyāĥī

To recite the Quran, O my Allah! Give me the ability

So that my heart may be cleansed from iniquity

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
