Q
What are the characteristics of a believer who recites and acts upon the Qur’an?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The example of a believer who recites the Qur’an and acts on it, like a citron which
tastes nice and smells nice. And the example of a believer who does not recite the Qur’an but acts on
it, is like a date which tastes good but has no smell. And the example of a hypocrite who recites the
Qur’an is like a Raihana (sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter And the example of a
hypocrite who does not recite the Qur’an is like a colocynth which tastes bitter and has a bad smell.”
