How to recite a thousand verses from the Qur'an in just 30 seconds

The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recited one thousand verses in one night would meet Allah with a smile on his face’. Someone said, ‘O Apostle, who can recite a thousand verses?’. The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) then recited Surah at Takathur (Al haakamuthakaathur) and then said, ‘By He in Whose hand my soul is, it is equal to a thousand verses’

Prophet said

"One who is fluent in the recitation of the Qur'an will be in the company of the honourable and obedient angels
and
the one who recites the Qur'an and finds it difficult to recite, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have a double reward.''

Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 61 :: Hadith 528
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Mu'alla:

While I was praying, the Prophet called me but I did not respond to his call. Later I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was praying." He said, "Didn't Allah say: 'O you who believe! Give your response to Allah (by obeying Him) and to His Apostle when he calls you'?" (8.24)

He then said, "Shall I not teach you the most superior Surah in the Qur'an?" He said, '(It is),

'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. ' (i.e., Surat Al-Fatiha) which consists of seven repeatedly recited Verses and the Magnificent Qur'an which was given to me."

Al-Dhariyat (The Scattering Winds) Sura 51: Verse 21

"And in yourselves too: can you not see?"

Man is indeed the greatest wonder, or miracle on earth, although he is often oblivious to his own real status and to the secret wonders in his own constitution. He is a great wonder in his outer and inner self; his body and soul. When man begins to think about himself, he always finds some great wonder to contemplate.

Every human being is a world of its own; a mirror reflecting the whole universe in a special and unique image that is not repeated at any moment in history. There is no parallel for any one person in the entire human race, whether in shape, features, mind, faculties, spirit, feelings or even in the way the universe is reflected in that person's mind. In this divine museum that includes millions of millions of individuals, each one is a unique sample that can never be repeated in the same way as fingerprints are unrepeated throughout human history.

Furthermore, we gain much pleasure from looking carefully at people's faces, features, movements and habits, provided that such a look is cast through the eyes of one who acknowledges his position as a servant of God, taking a round in an exhibition of the greatest Creator's work. How about one who spends a lifetime in such pleasant exercise? With a pointer like this, the Quran creates man anew, giving him a new faculty of perception, a new pleasant life and an enjoyment that is unparalleled by anything on earth.

It is this level of reflection and contemplation that the Quran wants us to achieve. Faith is what gives our hearts such a treasure and opens for us this superior enjoyment while we are still on earth.

And it will be said: Because your son learned the Qur’aan.” (Narrated by Hakim)
