The Last Prophet (PBUH) said: "Verily the one who recites the Qur'an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses (because he doesn't know how to read it but is trying to), then he will have TWICE that reward."

What is Mount Hira?

Mount Hira is where prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to go to pray, meditate and reflect upon life before his time of prophethood. There were times when his wife, Khadijah, used to accompany him.

At the age of 40, it was here, in the cave of Hira, when he (PBUH) received the first revelations from God through the angel Gabriel (Jibraeel).
