Learning and teaching the Quran is one of the most rewarding acts in Islam. It is not just about reading words but about understanding, implementing, and passing on the message of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
> “The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5027)
This means that those who dedicate themselves to Quranic knowledge—whether as students or teachers—hold a high status in the eyes of Allah. In this blog, we will explore the rewards, benefits, and impact of learning and teaching the Quran.



1. The Rewards of Learning the Quran
a. A Continuous Source of Good Deeds (Sadaqah Jariyah)
Every letter of the Quran recited earns immense rewards. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
> “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will receive a reward, and the reward will be multiplied by ten.” (Tirmidhi 2910)
Imagine the rewards of reciting a single page, a surah, or even memorizing an entire Juz’! These good deeds continue to benefit you even after death, making Quran learning a form of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah).
b. The Quran Will Be an Intercessor on the Day of Judgment
On the Day of Judgment, the Quran will plead for those who recited it regularly. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
> “Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.” (Sahih Muslim 804)
This means that the Quran will speak on your behalf, asking Allah for forgiveness and mercy.
c. Elevation in Status in This Life and the Hereafter
Allah raises the status and ranks of those who devote themselves to the Quran. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
> “Indeed, Allah elevates some people through this Book and lowers others.” (Sahih Muslim 817)
People who memorize, understand, and act upon the Quran are given honor, leadership, and closeness to Allah.
2. The Rewards of Teaching the Quran
a. The Teacher’s Reward Never Ends
Teaching someone the Quran means you will continue to earn rewards every time they recite or act upon it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
> “When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: a continuous charity, knowledge that benefits others, and a righteous child who prays for him.” (Sahih Muslim 1631)
If you teach even one ayah, every time your student reads it, you share in the reward without any reduction in their reward.
b. Becoming the Best in the Sight of Allah
As mentioned earlier, “The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it.” Teaching the Quran is not just a job; it is a sacred responsibility that brings you closer to Allah.
c. The Special Crown and Honor in Jannah
A Quran teacher will have a special reward in Jannah (Paradise). The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
> “The one who memorizes the Quran and acts upon it will be told on the Day of Judgment: Recite and rise in status! Your rank will be at the last verse you recite.” (Tirmidhi 2914)
Additionally, those who teach the Quran will be given a special crown of honor in Jannah.
