The Reward for Listening to the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters asks: What is the reward and recompense for listening to the Qur'an? And is it better to listen or to recite?

Answer:
Recitation is better.
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
[Al-A'raf 7:204]
So recitation is better than listening, and listening also has a reward; because Allah commanded it and promised mercy for it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
