Hawzah News Agency-Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “The Qur’an is the trust of Allah (given) to His creations; therefore it is desirable for every Muslim to look at this trust and to recite (a minimum of) 50 ayat (verses) of the Qur’an every day.” Usulul Kafi, Volume 2, Page 609

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “One who recites the Qur’an will be free from need (of everyone), and thereafter will not be in need of anything. But as for the one (who does not recite the Qur’an), nothing at all will make him needless (and he will always be in need of others).” Thawabul A’mal, Page 230

Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “It is advisable for the person who is reciting the Qur’an that when he reaches to a verse from the Qur’an in which there is a request for something that he ask Allah for that thing, or when he reaches to a verse of the Qur’an in which there is talk about the punishment, that he ask Allah for protection from the fire of Hell and the punishment.” Usulul Kafi, Volume 3, Pages 1-3

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “Three things will complain to Allah, The Noble and The Grand, (on the Day of Judgment): A deserted Masjid in which the people of the town did not recite Salat (in it); an ‘Alim who was among the ignorant ones (however the people did not make use of him); and the Qur’an which was not read and was left for dust to collect on it.” Usulul Kafi, Volume 2, Page 613

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “Allah will reward the person who recites the Qur’an a great deal and makes a promise with it to try and memorize it even though it may entail great difficulty, a double reward.” Thawabul A’mal Page 227

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “One who protects the Qur’an and acts upon it as well, will be with the noble, devoted Angels on the Day of Judgment.” Usulul Kafi, Volume 2, Page 603

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “One who recites the Qur’an and is a believing youth, the Qur’an becomes mixed with his flesh and blood, and Allah - The Noble and Great - will place him with the noble, devoted Angels. In addition, the Qur’an will act as a barrier (between him and the Hell Fire) on the Day of Judgment.” Thawabul A’mal, Page 226

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “Surely the Qur’an is not to be read in a rush or very quickly. Rather, it should be recited in slow, measured portions. Whenever you reach a verse which talks about Heaven, then stop (at that verse) and ask from Allah (the bounties of) Heaven. And whenever you reach a verse which speaks about the Hell, then stop (at that verse) and seek protection from Allah from the Hell Fire (and the punishment).” Usulul Kafi, Volume 3, Page 301

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (A.S.) has said: “I would like to see a Qur’an in every house so that through this, Allah would repel the Satan (from that house.)” Fadhhlul Qur’an, Page 669
