Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating partners with You in any way, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which I do not know. Ameen.
The Quran is not a book like any other; it is a timeless guide for life, death and the hereafter. Therefore, there is never an ending to reciting and learning the Quran.
There are numerous authentic narrations which state the virtues of reciting the Quran. When a person completes or Khatam the Quran, he too will receive those rewards.
Here are a few narrations which specifically mention the virtue of completing or Khatam the Quran:
1) Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas r.a. says: “When a person completes the Quran in the evening, the Angels seek forgiveness for this person till the morning, and when he completes the Quran in the morning, the Angels seek forgiveness for this person till the evening” [Sunan Darimi, Hadith: 3526]
2) When Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik r.a. would complete the Quran, he would gather his family and children and make du’a for them. [Al Mu’jamul Kabir of Imam Tabarani. Hafiz Haythami has classified the above narration authentic; Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 7 pg. 172]
3) Mujahid (rahimahullah) reports: The Sahabah r.a. would gather at a completion of Quran and say, ‘Mercy is descending.’ [Fadailul Quran of Abu Bakr Al Firyabi pg. 189]
4) Hakam ibn ‘Utaybah r.a. says: Mujahid and ‘Abdah ibn Lubabah (rahimahumallah) once called for me and Salamah ibn kuhayl (rahimahullah) and said, ‘We called you because we are completing the Holy Quran and du’as are answered at the time when the Holy Quran is completed.’ [Fadailul Quran of Abu Bakr Al Firyabi pg. 189]
Thus, finishing Quran is one of the most important things to do in our life as Muslim. To finish the Al Quran, we need to read it not only in our spare time but we need to spare some time to read it. No matter how busy we are at the moment. So let's us make time to date our Quran.
