The Enduring Good Deeds

Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

If people knew what [tremendous good] was in reciting the Qur’ān while contemplating its meanings, they would have occupied themselves with that over everything else.

Then, when one recites it with reflection until he comes across a verse that he is in need of — to cure his heart — he [should] repeat it, even a hundred times, even for a whole night [long]. Reciting a verse with reflection and working to gain understanding [of it] is better than reciting [the whole Qur’ān from beginning] to end without thinking about what it means or trying to gain understanding of it.
