Is it better to recite/ listen to the Qurʿān?
Sheikh Ibn Bāz raḥimahullāh said:
“It is better for one to do that which will soften and affect their heart, regardless whether it is reciting or listening. The objective of reciting is to contemplate & understand the meaning, and to act in accordance to what is indicated by the Glorious Book of Allāh -The Exalted, Most High-.
Allāh -The Exalted, Most High- says:
{كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَیۡكَ مُبَـٰرَكࣱ لِّیَدَّبَّرُوۤا۟ ءَایَـٰتِهِۦ وَلِیَتَذَكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلۡأَلۡبَـٰبِ}
“(This is) a Book (the Qur'ān) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember.” [Sūrah Ṣād 29]
And Allāh -The Exalted, Most High- says:
{إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ یَهۡدِی لِلَّتِی هِیَ أَقۡوَمُ}
“Verily, this Qur'ān guides to that which is most just and right...” [Sūrah Al-Isrā' 9]
He -The Exalted, Most High- says:
{هُوَ لِلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ هُدࣰى وَشِفَاۤءࣱ}
“It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing...” [Sūrah Fuṣṣilat 44]
