Q
How does the recitation of the Qur’an affect the character and perception of a believer?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘The example of a believer who recites the Qur’an is that of a citron (a citrus fruit)
which is good in taste and good in smell. And the believer who does not recite the Qur’an is like a date
which has a good taste but no smell. And the example of an impious person who recites the Qur’an is
that of Ar-Rihana (an aromatic plant) which smells good but is bitter in taste. And the example of an
impious person who does not recite the Qur’an is that of a colocynth which is bitter in taste and has no
smell.”
