The Holy Quran is blessed, and a person is rewarded for reciting it, whether they understand its meaning or not. However, a believer should strive to understand its meaning, for it is a book of healing and admonition. The Companions used to learn ten verses and the knowledge and deeds contained within them. It is important to be careful to understand the meanings of the Quran from trustworthy scholars, or to refer to reliable books of exegesis such as those by Ibn Jarir and Ibn Kathir.
