The Noble Quran Karim
The Holy Quran is the matchless Kalaam [Word] of that Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ Who is the only Deity, the only Creator and the real Lord of the entire universe. He عَزَّوَجَلَّ revealed this Kalaam [Holy Quran] to the Holy Prophet
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
. The blessed revelation began in the sacred month of Ramadan. Sayyiduna Jibraeel
عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم
had the privilege of bringing the revelation to the Holy Prophet
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
. Some blessed ayahs were bestowed upon him directly. The divine revelation was revealed in stages over a period of about 23 years in Arabic language, the most eloquent language, according to circumstances and occurrences.
Excellence of Reciting Glorious Quran
Undoubtedly, those people are very fortunate who love the Holy Quran and act upon it along with reciting it. It is stated in the blessed Hadith:
The house in which the Holy Quran is recited is spacious for its dwellers; its goodness is in abundance, angels visit it and Satans go away from it. The house where the Holy Quran is not recited becomes narrow for its dwellers, its goodness reduces, angels go away from it and Satans approach.
