The example of the believer who does not recite the Quran is that of a date: its taste is pleasant, but it has no fragrance. The example of the wicked person who recites the Quran is that of sweet basil: its fragrance is pleasant, but it has no taste. And the example of the wicked person who does not recite the Quran is that of colocynth: its taste is bitter, and it has no fragrance.” (1) It is authentic.

Recite the two radiant surahs, al-Baqarah and Al ‘Imran, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come like two clouds, two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading on behalf of their companions.
