Recitation of Holy Quran
“Recite the Quran in slow, measured, tones.” (Quran 73:4)
One of the most amazing things about the Holy Quran is that it is memorized in its entirety by hundreds of thousands of Muslims all over the word - by those who are fluent in Arabic and also by those who are not. Age is no barrier either for this great honour as young and old alike learn and memorize the Holy Quran.
Reciting the Quran is an act of worship, one which brings the reciter closer to Allah and earns him a multitude of reward. Listening to the Quran is also an act of worship that brings the Mercy of Allah.
"And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, that Mercy may be shown to you". (7:204) Mosques - The Muslim place of Worship

Quranic Verse of the Month

My Story : Why I chose Islam
Azan - Muslim Call to Prayer
The adhān (also azaan أَذَان) is the Islamic call to the prayer, recited by the muezzin usually from the minarets of a mosque. The main purpose behind the loud pronouncement of Adhan five times a day is to remind the believers to discard all worldly activities at prayer time and assemble for the mandatory (fard) prayers.
It is an amazing fact that the words of the azaan have remained unchanged since 630AD, when the Prophet Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked a freed slave and a trusted Companion, Bilal ibn Rubah to go up on to the roof of the Ka'aba and give the first call to prayer.
And believe it or not, there is not even a single moment in time when hundreds of thousands of Muazzins around the world are not reciting the Azaan on the surface of this earth. Dua of the Month
