You recognise the Qur'an reader...


‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: You recognise the Qur`an reader when he stays up worshipping at night while others remain asleep, and he observes voluntary fast during the day when others feast.

He is mostly heavy hearted, while others merrily celebrate the attractions of this passing world. He cries when others laugh, he is silent while others mix truth with falsehood, and he is humble and meek when others walk around exhibiting haughtiness disdain & arrogance.

In fact one who reads the Qur`an is contemplative and despondent; he is wise, forbearing, knowledgeable and mostly quiet. Such one is neither coarse nor slumberous and he is not boisterous, vociferous, or argumentative.”
