Which is better: reading the Qur’an from the Mushaf for one who is proficient in reading, or listening to it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Recitation and listening are both required. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited the Quran and listened to it from others. The preferable option varies according to a person's situation, but recitation should be more frequent because it engages the tongue, heart, and eye. The virtue of both listening and reciting has been established.
