Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله says:
In short, there is nothing more
beneficial for the heart than reading the Qur’aan and with contemplation and
reflection. The Qur’aan encompasses all the levels of the travellers, the
conditions of the workers, and stations of those possessing knowledge. It is
the Qur’aan that generates love, desire, fear, hope, repentance, reliance,
pleasure, entrustment, gratitude, patience, and the rest of the different
states that are life to the heart and perfection of it. Likewise, it repels all
the rebuked characteristics and actions that cause the corruption and ruin of
the heart.
If people were to possess a realization
of what recitation of the Qur’aan with contemplation contains, they would
devote themselves to it at the expense of anything else. When the person reads
it with reflection and he comes across an aayah that he is in need of, for the
cure of his heart, he repeats it, even if he does so a hundred times or the
whole night. Hence, to recite a single aayah of the Qur’aan with contemplation
and reflection is better than reciting the Qur’aan to completion without any
contemplation or reflection. It is also more beneficial for the heart and more
conducive to attaining eemaan and tasting the sweetness of the Qur’aan.
