We can seek guidance from it for this world as well as life hereafter. He has announced thousands of rewards and blessings for a person who recites Quran. Allah (S.W.T) has said: “so, recite of the Quran as much as may be easy for you”. If a person recites Quran. As said in the hadith “read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the day of resurrection”. Recitation of the Quran has a lot of benefits therefore I have listed down some of the blessings of Quran recitation.
Builds connection between you and Allah
Some people believe that it is very difficult to build a connection with Allah but they are mistaken because Allah is the most merciful and building connection with almighty Allah is the easiest thing. You can build or improve your connection with your creator by just reciting the Quran and understanding its message and meaning. The Quran is compiled with the verses and messages of Allah (S.W.T) and it is a kind of spiritual conversation between you and Allah which creates a connection between you and Allah and also helps in the guidance of an individual and betterment of a person through which you will always find yourself on the right path and you will never be alone. It is one of the blessings of the Quran recitation.
Purifies the heart and soul
Purification of each and everything is a very essential thing because it defines the beauty of that particular thing, removes dirt, and conceal the beauty of that particular thing so because of that reason our heart and soul also needs to be purified for the betterment of our character and to define the true beauty of a Muslim’s character. Recitation of the Quran with the core of your heart can cleanse and purify your heart and soul in a way that all the dirt of your bad deeds will vanish away and the brightness of your heart will start shining in your character. It is also one of the blessings of the Quran recitation.
Protection from dark magic and evil forces
Every Muslim has faith that evil forces exist in this world. Different verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, surah jinn, and a lot of other verses of the Quran testify about the existence of evil forces in this world but do you know that Quran can save from all the evil forces present in this world. Allah has said that the Words of the Quran protects its reciters from all kind of evil forces. A person who recites the Quran daily then that person becomes invisible to jinn and evil forces. A curtain will be formed between that person and the evil force. Any evil force will not be able to harm him no matter how powerful that evil force is.
Provides knowledge and life lesson
One of the great blessings of the Quran recitation is that it benefits us with knowledge and different lessons of life because the Quran is the most vital source to attain knowledge as a Muslim. Allah (S.W.T) stated in the Quran that “There is nothing in the world which I have not stated/discussed in this great book” (34:3). In this last and final book, Allah has described every single matter of this world, hidden mysteries and the solution of each and every problem can be found in this precious book. Its 6236 verses contain a lot of information and knowledge for its believers so by reciting this great book a person can dive into the ocean of knowledge.

The most important perhaps the best blessings of the Quran include guidance. The Quran was revealed on the Holy Prophet PBUH by Almighty Allah for the guidance of mankind. Each surah and every verse of the Quran Majeed is the key that leads a person towards the path of guidance and self-improvement. The Almighty Allah has mentioned in the Quran that “the Quran itself is a light” [5:15]. Those who recite the Quran on daily basis find themselves in the light of the Quran with a lot of guidance and teachings which brings them towards the betterment of themselves and show the right path which leads towards Jannah.
Teaches the difference between right and wrong
Recitation of the Quran brings a lot of teachings with it. A person who recites Quran devotedly and understands Quran’s teaching will be able to differentiate between right and wrong, good deeds and bad deeds, good and evil. Quran clarifies to us which of our acts are evil and can be a reason for someone’s suffering and which of our acts are good and will be beneficial to us and the people around us. Quran also informs us about the tricks of shaytan which diverts a person towards bad deeds. The Holy Prophet PBUH told Muslims about the evilness of the devil by saying that “beware of shaytan, he is desperate to divert you from the worship of Allah. so, beware of him in matters of religion. It is one of the blessings of the Quran recitation.

Every soul once has experienced the phase of depression in which he has no clue what to do and how to react but the recitation of the Quran is the answer for all your depression and anxiety issues. The recitation of the Quran is like a meditation that will calm your mind and give you hopes to stand out against poor mental health.
It guides you to seek the forgiveness of Allah
We serve months and years asking for someone’s forgiveness but still, sometimes we are not forgiven yet do you know that there is someone who forgives instantly if you ask for his forgiveness and that is the Almighty Allah the lord of everything, the sustainer, the most beneficent. He says that if you come to me with the sins equal to the mountains and ask forgiveness with the core of your heart, I will forgive all your sins. The Quran contains several verses which lead you towards asking for his forgiveness. Undoubtedly no one wants to leave this world with a heart full of sins.
The reward for each letter
Allah SWT is the most beneficent and merciful not only does He reward you the best whenever you perform any good deed but he rewards you ten times more for each letter and word you recite from the Quran. Holy Prophet PBUH said that whoever reads a letter from the book of Allah, will get a reward and that reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that alif, laam, meem is a letter rather I am saying that Alif is a letter, laam is a letter, and meem is a letter (Tirmidhi). It is one of the blessings of the Quran recitation.
