Benefits of reading Holy Quran

Holy Quran is the most important book of Islam. This Book of Divine and Heavenly knowledge was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PHUH) about fourteen centuries ago and since then it has
been the beacon of light towards which Muslims turn for guidance in every aspect of their lives. Allah (SWT) will bestow his blessing on Human for Reciting Quran 

Although Muslims give great respect to Quran and conduct their matters under the light of instructions mentioned in Quran however due to the busy routine of the present day life very few find the time of reciting the holy Quran on daily bases. Besides religious benefits in the form of rewards there are other benefits and blessings of Quran which one misses by not reciting it on regular bases the lines below bring to liht those blessings and benefits that are missed because of not reciting Quran on daily bases. The first and perhaps the most important blessing missed by a person by not reciting Quran on daily bases is the  forgetfulness of the real purpose of revelation. Although at the time of need and in case of any problem Muslims turn towards Quran however when Quran reading is done on daily bases and Muslim gets to know about the real purpose behind revelation. This purpose is mentioned in Quran in the following way. 

Blessing of Allah On Human being (A Book ( the Quran) which We have sent down to you full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses and that men of understanding may receive admonition From this ayah of Quran it is clear that the purpose of Quran is to bring blessings to person and it instigates the spirit of monitoring in the readers therefore if one does not read Quran on daily bases he or she is actually missing a chance of getting inspiration to ponder over all the things Allah has created and all the matters of life. There is no denying the instructional importance of Quran for a Muslim Therefore if a Muslim does not read Quran on daily bases he or she is actually missing out a chance of providing the right framework to mind. When the mind has as such no framework to follow the ultimate result can be the mind forgetting its true guidelines of becoming a good Muslim daily bases the framework presented by Allah almighty keeps on getting refreshed in the mind and sticking to the right path becomes easy.

Recitation  Benefits: The obvious benefit of missing the daily recitation of Quran that a person experiences is the loss of recitation benefits. Allah Almighty has set reward against each and every word of Quran therefore by reciting Quran on daily  basis, a person gets plenty of reward which gets missed if the recitation is not done on regular basis. Therefore in order to gain religious reward a Muslim needs to recite Quran on regularly every day. 

Cleansing of Heart:

Quran being a heavenly Book is not merely words rather Quran has a direct influence on the heart of the reader or the listener when a Muslim recites Quran it effects the heart and purifies it by cleaning it from all the impurities that stick  on it. Allah almighty says in Quran. Understanding purpose of revealing according to Quran (O mankind There hath come to you an admonition from your Lord and a healing for te diseases in your heart and for those who believe a guidance and Mercy. 

Thus from this ayah of Quran it is evident that one of the objectives of Quran recitation is to help purify the heart and clean it from impurities and diseases of all sorts and kinds.
