Recitation of the Holy Quran is a form of mystical music that contributes to the release of endorphins by stimulating alpha brain waves. [13] Therefore, it enhances the stress threshold, removes negative emotions, and creates a sense of relaxation.
The commentaries are, in fact, the most important part of this Quran because they explain how the religious traditions of Islam are seen by their adherents and scholars.
Learning the Quran requires dedication and determination. Quran is usually memorized by reading loudly but not very loudly. Just pick the first few names and recite them loudly, to the extent where you can hear yourself speak. After reciting the names a few times, try to recite them on your own without looking.
Reading and Reflecting Over the Quran, one fulfills an obligation and is rewarded for it. Upon fulfilling this obligation, the Quran then becomes a witness for one on the Day of Judgment. The Holy Prophet says, “the Quran is a proof for you or against you.”
The rest of the Surah is a beautiful blend of history, life lessons, and instructions.
Surah Al-Fatiha
This is the beginning of the Holy Quran. Muslims recite this Surah for numerous times. It is comprised of only seven verses. However, the importance of this Surah Fatiha is just because it has several names, and each name has its own meaning and importance.
Surah al-Fatihah (Arabic: سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَة) is the first chapter (surah) of the Quran. Its seven verses (ayat) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship, and mercy of God. This chapter has an essential role in the Islamic prayer (salat).
Surat Al-Kahf
It is one of the best surahs, which is the Sunnah, as Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to recite it on Friday. In number, it is the 18th Surah of the Holy Quran, which is comprised of 110 verses.
However, it is important because whosoever reads and memorizes the first ten verses will be protected from the fitnah of Al-Dajjal. Hadith about the benefits of reciting Surah al-Baqarah.
The Virtues of Surah al-Kahf
The surah summarizes for us the gist of Islam; its main theme is that Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) will protect us from all trials. Told through a series of stories that illustrate specific trials, it teaches that Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) will protect the believer at times of severity.
Surah Al-Mulk
The meaning of the name Mulk is " Kingdom, sovereignty, supreme ".It is
a very important surah in The Holy
Quran. According to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who so ever recited and
memorize this verse, in return, he will be defended until and unless he is sent
into paradise.
However, Abdullah Ibn Abbas said that it was the wish of the Prophet that Surah Mulk must be in the heart of every Muslim. It saves man from the torment of the grave.
Surah al Mulk draws attention to the expanse and subtlety of creation as a
Sign for the majesty and power of the all-Compassionate. Summarily, the message
of the Surah can be divided into four parts:
- Invitation to witness and reflect upon the Signs of Allah in the expanse and the subtlety of creation: Ayahs 1-4,19
- Signs for the fragility of life on this planet: Ayahs 5, 16, 17, 20, 21, 28,
30,
- Signs in the bounties from the Sustainer: 23, 24,
- The discomfiture of those who reject the Signs and the inner peace of those
who accept them: 6-11, 13, 14, 15, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 29.

Surah Al-Kafirun
Al-Kāfirūn (Arabic: الكافرون, "The Unbelievers") is the name of the 109th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It has six verses as follows:
Say, "O disbelievers,
I do not worship what you worship.
Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.
Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.
Surat al Kafiron is one of the most important surahs in the Holy Quran, which is comprised of 6 verses. However, our Holy Prophet (PBUH) read every night before going to bed because it saves Muslims from the shirk.
The Three Quls
These three Quls in the Quran comes at the end of the Holy Book. It is stated that whenever our Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to recite these Three Quls when he goes to bed, he blows over hands and rub it to the specific areas. So, nothing will harm him from any mishap if someone aimed over him.
The ‘Three Quls’ are the last three chapters (Surahs) in the Qur’an. They are commonly known as:
“Qul huwa Allāhu Aḥad” (Sūrah Al-Ikhlāṣ)
“Qul A'ūdhu birabbi al-falaq” (Sūrah Al-Falaq)
“Qul A'ūdhu birabbi al-nās” (Sūrah Al-Nās)
What applies to “Ayatul-Kursi” is applicable to the “Three Quls” in the ways and the times we recite them for protection. Thus, we recite each of them once, after each prayer (ṣalāh). We also recite them three times each, before going to bed.
Ayat al-Kursi is regarded as one of the most powerful ayahs in the Quran
because when it is recited, the greatness of God is believed to be confirmed. Muslims
used to recite this Surah for the sake of care and protection from mishap if
aimed at him. Similarly, Ayat Al-Kursi protects man from the Shaytan. So, you
must memorize surahs that assist you for the rest of your life for both lives.
