"If a youth among believers recites the Holy Quran it gets mixed in his flesh and blood.

The Holy Quran would say, 'People who acted upon anything except me have got their result. O Allah! You give the best rewards to these people'. Allah would make the reciter of the Holy Quran wear two dresses of Paradise and keep the crown of honor on his head. Allah would tell the Holy Quran, 'Are you satisfied now?' It would reply, 'I desire a better reward'. Now Allah would grant peace from right and an eternal Paradise from left and then make him enter Paradise. He would be told in Paradise, 'Go on reciting a verse of the Holy Quran and your position will go on increasing by one level for each of them'. Then the Holy Quran would be addressed, 'Are you pleased now?' The Holy Quran would say, 'Yes my Lord!'"
