Studies On Positive Effects Of Quran Recitation On Human Body

For Muslims, faith cannot be deemed complete without believing Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as Allah’s last Apostle bestowed to humanity more than 14 centuries ago in order to guide them to ways of piousness and blessings; ways that appease Allah Almighty and contribute for human beings’ own good in this world as well as the world after. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was also blessed with a gift like none before it ever to help teach and guide human beings, i.e. the Holy Quran, as also clearly mentioned in Qur’an: rnIbrahim [14:1] Alif Lam Ra. A book which We have revealed unto thee in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light― by the leave of their Lord― to the Way of (Him) Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise! That is why Islamic theology focuses so much on learning Qur’an, since Muhammad (PBUH) left the world more than 14 centuries ago, while Qur’an still exists in the world to continue this spring of guidance that erupted fourteen hundred years ago. Not only lies the heavenly well being of humans in understanding and acting upon Quran’s instructions, but its mere reading and recitation also yields great worldly and heavenly rewards. If people living in present time want to enjoy all the blessings from this as promised by Allah Almighty, they might also resort to Holy Quran Online and feel the positive difference in their lives by themselves. Let us have a look at what Allah Almighty states at one place in Qur’an: But "truly it is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts find rest." (Ar-Ra'd 13:28) Now, one of the best ways of remembrance of Allah is none other than reciting what Allah Almighty has bestowed to us in the form of Qur’an, as Allah (SWT) Himself states: Al-Isra [17:78] Perform As¬Salât (Iqamât-as-Salât) from mid-day till the darkness of the night (i.e. the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Ishâ' prayers), and recite the Qur'ân in the early dawn (i.e. the morning prayer). Verily, the recitation of the Qur'ân in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night). Unlike what many people believed earlier, all of this not involves spirituality and the world hereafter, but the positive effects of Quran Reading and Quran Recitation have been authenticated by some scientific studies also. However, the fact remains that there is great need of much more of such studies, as major of such studies were conducted by non Muslim researchers and they were not able to present the result as clearly or significantly as they should have (their intentions also surface as a question mark). In fact, Muslims living in present times can conveniently feel the positive differences in their lives by resorting to Online Quran Recitation, as offered by many authentic online Quran Schools. Talking about earlier studies, Vander Hoven, a Netherlands based researcher conducted a study and concluded his findings by declaring that Muslims able to read Quran in Arabic (and those doing so regularly) were found to be able to protect themselves much more significantly against psychological diseases as compared to those who did not do so. However, he did not furnish comprehensive details in his regard for his own reasons. Similarly, Yucel Salih also conducted a similar study (2007) regarding effects of prayer on factors like body temperature and respiratory systems. His findings also supported the fact that divine content brings about some changes (though he mentioned it quite contradicting manner) in the factors mentioned earlier. Latest development in this regard comprises of a study conducted by at University of Salford where 30 Muslim students were taken subject, pursuing their undergraduate programs in Psychology at the same university. Its findings also revealed that recitation of Chapter Alam Nashrah and Al Rahman triggered positive effects in blood pressure and stress levels of those who did so. To conclude, there can be nothing truer than words of Allah Almighty. As Muslims, we shall take it as our duty to conduct such scientific researches signifying the strength of Islam.
