Blessings and Remedies from Quran Chapters

Let’s learn about blessings and remedies from the Quran. The heart gets rusted like metal gets rusted when water goes over it. People asked,

 “How can they [hearts] be cleaned.” The Prophet replied, “To remember death in abundance and to recite the Holy Quran.” (Mishkat)

Qur’an is the book of guidance for a Muslim’s life. This article is a collection of Quranic verses, Ahadeeth (Prophet’s Saying), and sayings of the salaf (pious people that followed the Prophet) on the majesty of the Qur’an and the great virtues of reading and following it.

To begin with, there are many verses in the Qur’an itself that underscore the majesty of Allah’s verses and the Qur’an itself –

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

قُل لَّئِنِ ٱجْتَمَعَتِ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا

Say: ‘If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another” [Quran Al-Israa’ 17:88]
