Is the reward for listening to the Qur'an like that of the one who recites?

Question:
Perhaps we will conclude this noble, blessed session of the program *Nur 'ala al-Darb* with this question from the questioner: (H. A. M). She says: Is the reward and merit of one who listens to the Noble Qur'an via tapes the same as the reward and merit of one who recites it? Because I listen a lot to recitations via tapes? Does my reward decrease in that regard?

Answer:
We hope for you the reward in that, and that it is like the reciter; because the listener is like the reciter, so the one who listens is a partner of the reciter. If he listens with a good intention and sincerity, seeking benefit, then we hope for him the same reward as the reciter. So they are equal in reward, the reciter and the listener.
So we advise all our brothers and sisters in Allah, men and women, to take care of listening to the Qur'an, and to reflect and understand it. The one who recites recites and reflects, and the one who does not recite listens from the tapes, from *Nur 'ala al-Darb*. This is a great good. From the Qur'an radio, he listens to the benefits, and we hope for him great good in that.
So the listener who desires what is with Allah, who is sincere to Allah, is a partner of the reciter. He has a great reward; he will have the same reward as the reciter, or even greater if it is with sincerity, truthfulness, and desire for what is with Allah. Yes.
