Yes! It is the eternal message who is sent to the mankind till the end of times through Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Quran is a complete set of rules and a best GUIDE which will lead you in every matter of your life, whether it is social , economic, marital, financial, spiritual.

When Jebreel A.S came to Prophet Mummd PBUH with first revelation and said:
“Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists), created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.” (96:1-5)

This set the fundamentals of the Prophetic message to all human beings. The importance of seeking knowledge and learning in islam is clearly described.

These are the basic benefits that one can get from the Quran. There are other numerous benefits that we get by learning the Quran, in this world and hereafter. Now, let’s have a look and try to understand a few of them .
A Reward is given on reading every word of Quran:
That’s Right! Yes! A reward is given on reading not one surah, not one ayah, but on reading every word/letter of it. Subhan Allah!.
It is reported by Hazrat Ayesha R.A
Translation: Whosoever recites a letter from Allah’s Book, then he receives the reward from it, and the reward of ten the like of it. I do not say that Alif Lam Mim is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter (At-Tirmizi)
For many of us, Arabic being the foreign language might be difficult to learn and read. Especially when we are beginners in learning Arabic, we tend to stutter and might find it difficult to read the Quran fluently. Not understanding .But not to fear, Allah s.w.t. is All-Knowing, Most Merciful is doubling the reward for all your hard work to learn and read the Quran
Again it is narrated by Hazrat Ayesha R.A
Translation: “The one who is proficient in the recitation of the Qur’an will be with the honourable and obedient scribes (angels), and he who recites the Qur’an and finds it difficult to recite, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have two rewards.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
So, why not to gain this guaranteed reward on a daily basis and learn to read the Quran properly.

Quran Calms the Heart and Soul:
Reciting the Quran is basically the remembrance of Allah . It is also a great Ibadah. Whenever you recite the Quran, it will provide you with the deep contentment of your heart and sooth out your soul as well.
It is stated in the Quran:
Translation : “Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured”( 13:28)
Quran also works as Antidepressant for a Muslim. It takes out all your tensions if you read it with full focus and try to understand the real message inside it then it will bring you out from all worldly tensions Insha Allah.
A True Guidance:
Being human beings, we constantly need someone who we can talk to, share out worries and sorrows and take advice from. We call such a person ‘A TRUE FRIEND’ who guides you when you are unclear. Through Dua you can talk to your creator and through the Quran, you can listen to what your creator, your best friend, is telling you. Just read the Quran with full focus and you will get to know that it has solutions to all your problems. Allah says in Quran:
Translation: “A Book We have sent down to you so that you may bring forth mankind from the darkness into the light..”. (14:1)
