Reading the Quran every day gradually strengthens fluency, nurtures spiritual closeness to Allah’s Book, and invites blessing and clarity into one’s routine. This consistent practice enriches the heart, sharpens the mind, and protects both the home and the soul. Even small daily recitations carry immense reward, especially for those who struggle yet keep striving.

We often talk about the virtues of reading Quran in abstract terms—peace, light, guidance. But these virtues only become a reality when you move from reading “whenever you can” to making it a non-negotiable part of your 24 hours.

The struggles you face with pronunciation, the lack of time, and the disconnect you feel in your heart all begin to resolve when you prioritize this daily meeting.

Let’s walk through what actually happens to your heart, your tongue, and your life when you commit to this habit.

1. Improved Fluency is One of the Benefits of Reading Quran Daily

Many non-Arab students feel embarrassed by their stuttering because they cannot recite smoothly like a Qari, they are failing. This mindset is wrong. The struggle is part of the process, but the only cure for a “heavy” tongue is daily movement.

Arabic contains sounds that simply do not exist in English. Letters like Daad ض, Qaaf ق, and Ayn ع require you to use muscles in your throat and mouth that you have never used before. It is exactly like going to the gym. 

If you only lift weights once a week, your muscles will never develop. You will remain sore and weak.

By reading every day, you are building “muscle memory” in your mouth. You are training your tongue to find the heavy letters automatically. 

We have seen students who struggled for years suddenly find their flow, not because they learned a new rule, but because they simply stopped skipping days. The daily practice turns the difficult into the easy.

If you feel like your tongue is constantly “tied” and you don’t know where to start, you don’t have to struggle alone. Our Learn Quran Reading course is designed specifically to help beginners build this muscle memory from scratch, step by step.

2. Becoming a Companion of Quran is a Reward of Reading Quran Daily

There is a beautiful title given to those who are close to the Book of Allah: Sahib al-Quran. In Arabic, the word Sahib means “companion” or close friend.

Moving past the question of whether reading quran fard or sunnah, we focus here on the spiritual bounty of the Quran.”

Think about your own life. Who are your true companions? They are the people you talk to every day. 

They are the ones you walk with, sit with, and listen to. You cannot call someone your “companion” if you only speak to them once a month.

On the Day of Judgment, the Quran will come as an intercessor for its “companions.”, the Prophet (PBUH) said:

“اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَفِيعًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ” 

“Read the Qur’an, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.” (Sahih Muslim)

Notice the specific word used in the Hadith: Ashabihi (its reciters/companions). By reading daily, you move from being a casual acquaintance of the Quran to being its friend. 

You want the Quran to recognize you on that difficult day. You want it to say, “I know him. He spent time with me every single day.”

3. Finding Barakah is Another Reward of Reading Quran Everyday

The most common excuse I hear from students is, “I don’t have time.” We live in a fast-paced world, and it feels like 24 hours is never enough. You might naturally ask: what is the reward for reading Quran when my schedule is already full?

What is The Reward For Reading Quran?

The answer is Barakah (divine blessing). When you start your day with the Quran, or set aside time for it in the evening, you invite Allah’s blessing into your schedule. You will find that you accomplish more in less time.

Your mind is clearer, your focus is sharper, and the petty distractions that usually eat up your hours seem to vanish.

We have seen high-powered professionals who thought they were too busy to read. When they finally committed to just 15 minutes a day, they reported that the rest of their work became easier. 

The Quran puts order into the chaos of life. It anchors your day so that everything else revolves around it, rather than squeezing it in as an afterthought.

4. The Struggle of Non-Arabs Enhances the Rewards of Reading Quran Daily

If you are reading this and you find the Quran difficult, I want you to listen closely. You might look at a fluent reciter and wonder how much reward for reading Quran remains for you when you are stumbling over every syllable?

How Much Reward For Reading Quran?

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explicitly addressed the difficulty faced by those who are not natural Arabic speakers. He gave a specific glad greeting to those who stutter and stumble but keep trying.

“الْمَاهِرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ، وَالَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَتَتَعْتَعُ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ شَاقٌّ، لَهُ أَجْرَانِ” 

“The one who is proficient in the recitation of the Qur’an will be with the honourable and obedient scribes (angels), and he who recites the Qur’an and finds it difficult to recite, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have a double reward.” (Sahih Muslim)

One reward is for the reading itself, and the second reward is for the struggle. But notice that this reward is for the one who recites. You cannot get the reward for the struggle if you do not pick up the Mushaf.

Every time you sit down to read, despite the difficulty, you are earning double what a fluent Arab speaker might earn. 

Your effort is seen. Your patience is recorded. By making this a daily habit, you are racking up a mountain of good deeds simply because you refused to give up.

However, there is a difference between struggling because you are learning, and struggling because you are practicing mistakes. You need a mentor to gently correct your path so you don’t cement errors. This is exactly what we focus on in our Learn Quran with Tajweed classes—taking you from “struggling” to “proficient” without losing the reward of the effort.

5. A Protected Home is Another Benefit of Reading Quran Everyday

We worry a lot about the safety of our homes. We lock the doors and install cameras. But as a believer, you know that a home needs spiritual safety just as much as physical safety. 

A home where the Quran is read aloud daily feels different. The air is lighter. The arguments between family members lessen. There is a sense of tranquility, or Sakinah, that descends.

This is not just a feeling; it is a change in the spiritual reality of your living space. 

The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned us not to turn our homes into graveyards—places where there is no worship and no recitation.

“لاَ تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ” 

“Do not make your houses as graveyards. Satan runs away from the house in which Surah Baqarah is recited.” (Sahih Muslim)

While this Hadith mentions Surah Baqarah specifically, the principle applies to the presence of the Quran in general. 

When you recite daily, you are actively evicting negativity and heavy energy from your home.  You are filling the space with angels who gather to listen. It becomes a fortress for you and your family against the unseen harms of the day. So, I think you have to think about how to start reading Quran daily.

6. Retaining Memorization is One of the Benefits of Reading Quran Daily

If you are trying to memorize the Quran, or if you have memorized parts in the past, you already know the painful truth: the Quran escapes the mind faster than anything else. We often tell our Hifz students that memorizing is the easy part; keeping it is the real work.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used a very specific and vivid imagery to describe this. He compared the Quran in your chest to a camel tied with a rope.

“تَعَاهَدُوا الْقُرْآنَ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنَ الإِبِلِ فِي عُقُلِهَا” 

“Commit yourselves to the Qur’an, for by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, it is surely more prone to breaking away than a camel in its bind.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

If you check on the camel every single day and tighten the knot, it stays. If you ignore it for a few days, it runs away. 

The daily habit of reading is that rope. You cannot rely on a weekly review to keep your Hifz sharp. It requires a daily inspection. 

When you read your assigned portion every day, you are securing what you have worked so hard to learn.

Self-discipline is hard, but having a teacher waiting for you makes all the difference. Our Quran Memorization and Hifz program gives you the accountability you need to ensure your “camel” never runs away.

7. Mental Clarity and Focus Are Benefits of Reading Quran Daily

The minds of students who have kept a daily habit of reading for years remain incredibly sharp. 

While others struggle with memory loss and cognitive decline, those who engage with the Quran daily seem to have a protective layer over their intellect.

Reading the Quran is a rigorous mental exercise. You are processing complex grammar, tracking distinct letter sounds, and reflecting on deep meanings all at once. Doing this every day keeps the brain active and healthy.

Furthermore, the Quran acts as a daily recalibration for your mind. We are bombarded with thousands of messages, ads, and opinions every day. It gets confusing. We start to lose track of what really matters. 

When you start your morning with the Quran, you are resetting your moral compass. You are reminding yourself of the big picture before the chaos of the world tries to distract you. It gives you a clarity of purpose that lasts until you go to sleep.

8. The Intercession of Surah Mulk is Among Rewards for Reading Quran Daily

There is a very specific daily appointment that carries a massive reward: the recitation of Surah Al-Mulk before sleep. 

This is a habit I encourage every student to build because it is manageable—it takes only a few minutes—yet the payout is enormous.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke about a chapter of thirty verses that argues on behalf of its reader until they are forgiven.

“إِنَّ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثَلاَثُونَ آيَةً شَفَعَتْ لِرَجُلٍ حَتَّى غُفِرَ لَهُ وَهِيَ سُورَةُ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ” “

“Indeed there is a Surah in the Qur’an of thirty Ayat, which intercedes for a man until he is forgiven. It is [Surah] Tabarak Alladhi Biyadihil-Mulk.” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi)

This benefit is tied to the regular recitation of it. It is for the one who makes it a nightly companion. 

By cementing this short habit into your nightly routine, you are securing an advocate that will stand up for you when you need it most. It is a small daily investment for an eternal return.
