The Holy Quran is the last and final book revealed from the Almighty Allah (s.w.t). It was revealed to the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) in twenty-three years. Allah (s.w.t) has revealed this sacred book for the guidance of mankind. This Holy book of Allah (s.w.t) has enclosed a lot of rewards for the one who recites it. The word Holy Quran translates into recitation and reading. Everyone is well aware of the fact that reading the Holy Quran daily brings a large number of rewards even reading a single letter of the Holy Quran has great rewards. Syeda Aisha (r.a) reported, ’’whoever recites a letter from Allah’s book, he receives the rewards from it and the reward of ten the like of it. I do not say that Alif Lam Meem is a letter but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Meem is a letter’’.
Every Muslim wants to read Quran on a daily basis but they are not able to make it a habit because they lack motivation and a proper guide. So, I have shortlisted 11 simple ways through which anyone can make a habit of reading the Quran daily.
1.Make a sincere Intention
As it is said, that our actions are always the mirror of our intentions. Therefore, for making a habit of reciting the Holy Quran daily first thing first, you have to make a clear and sincere intention of reading it with your whole heart and you have to keenly think about everything that Almighty Allah has ordered us to do because after making a pure intention with a clean heart you are making Allah as your witness and he will surely help you in achieving your goal.
2.Prepare a good plan
To build up a habit of reading this precious book daily you must have to make a plan according to your convenience like you have to decide the right amount of verses and pages to read per day, depending upon the time you have available. I prefer you to go for the recitation at the time when you are not busy with any sort of personal work because reading this beautiful and precious book demands 0% distraction.
3.Start with a few Verses
Rush for anything can discourage a person easily So, Do not rush because our ultimate goal is to build a habit of reading the Quran daily, and not finishing it within a certain period. So, therefore I advise you to start reading the Holy Quran in the most effective way to make a habit of reading it daily. Start by reciting the small surah or a single page each day, Instead of reading a whole chapter in a day, make it your reading ritual and it will surely make you habitual of reciting the sacred book daily. Inshallah by this strategy, you will never postpone or skip the recitation a single day.
4.Make use of Technology
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, technology has created a prominent impact on our society. It has made our work a lot easier and more convenient for us. In the same manner, technology has also created a large influence on reading and learning the Quran in this modern world. If you are one of those who spend most of the day traveling then I can surely say that technology is your perfect partner so why not use it to maintain the habit of reading the Holy Quran.
You can get benefited from technology by just simply downloading the Quran reading apps. Moreover, you can also take online classes from various hafiz Quran and Quran learning academies by searching for Quran classes near you through this you can easily come to know about all of the classes you can have. By reading Quran with the help of technology you can easily and conveniently read Quran no matter where you are.
5.Read Quran after fajr
There are no restrictions on reading the Holy Quran at a particular time. You can read it whenever you find yourself free and whenever it is convenient for you but the best time to make yourself habitual of reading the holy Quran is the time of fajr. It is the time when you find yourselves most peaceful and relaxing. Reading the Holy Quran at that time of the day will feel like a conversation with Almighty Allah. It will calm your soul and purify your heart. Allah (s.w.t) has mentioned the importance of reading the Holy Quran at the time of fajr by saying, “It is the time when the Angles see you reciting the holy Quran”.
6.Listen to the Quran and understand its meaning
Reading or learning anything without understanding the proper meaning and messages behind it would be a bit difficult because you will not be able to sincerely pay attention to those lines or words if you do not know the meaning of it and it will be hard for you to build a habit of reading the Quran daily.
The holy Quran has 6236 verses and in each verse, the beautiful and precious messages of Allah (s.w.t) have been beautifully enclosed so without knowing the background and actual message of those verses how can we understand the meaning? One is able to pay a lot more attention to anything when he is aware of its meaning of it. So, one of the best ways to start reading the Holy Quran daily is by understanding its meaning because if we know the translation, then we will read the Holy Quran with consistency and more frequently.
7.Limit your distractions
Whenever a person tries to stay consistent and adopt any new habit, one thing that always comes in their way is the distractions around him. So, when it comes to reading the Holy Quran we should limit all the distractions. Many people say that sometimes they feel sleepy or get distracted by the voices of the people around them when they try to read Quran, due to which they lose their focus and it affects their way of making the recitation of the Quran their daily habit. So, whenever you are reading the Quran make sure to sit in a place that is quiet and calm or a place that is free from all the distracting voices. Moreover, you should try to read Quran with all of your concentration so, that you won’t feel sleepy or dizzy.
8.Remind yourself about the bounties
Everyone requires motivation whenever they think of doing anything or adopting a new habit so while reading Quran you should also remind yourself about the blessings of the Quran. Make all the bounties from Allah as your motivational fuel as there is not a single doubt in it that Almighty Allah is the most beneficial merciful and the great lord, he has given us a ton of blessings and rewards us for every good deed we perform and every single word of the Quran that we read so why not you keep on reminding ourselves about all those blessings and keep going. In this way, you can stay motivated and will be able to reach your goal a lot earlier.
9.Look for Quran classes around you
If you are one of those who find a little bit hard to stay accordant and requires someone to be their mentor and supervise them, then the Quran classes are the perfect fit for you. If you want to take Quran classes. You can go for physical or online classes, whatever is convenient for you. You just have to look around for the physical classes or have to do some research and find upright online classes.
10.Sign up for the classes
