When should we read Surah Rahman?

There’s no specific time to recite surah Rahman, you can read it at any time you like and you will be rewarded with many blessings.

One of the best times to Read Quran is during the night or at Fajr time. One of the best times to read the Quran is Fajr, it was mentioned in the Quran because it is the time of day when the angels come to see what everyone is doing, and who is awake to worship Allah. Isn’t it great to be one of the few people who wake up at Fajr just to worship Allah and recite the Quran?  

Imam Nawawi said: “

Performing prayer and reading Quran at night is given preference because it is a time when the heart is more concentrated and farther away from distractions of different kinds, including necessary chores and the like.

It also helps prevent the worshipper from falling into the pitfall of worshipping to be seen by others, and other acts of insincerity. It is also a time of much virtue and reward as it is stated in both the Quran and Sunnah.”

Another great time of the day to read the Quran and worship Allah is midnight.

Being alone with no distractions, in the calmness of the night reciting the verses of the holy Quran understanding every verse and word that you read.

That’s how we should read the Quran in a calm environment to be able to focus on what we are reading instead of just reading to finish our daily reading.

One of the favorite days to Allah is Friday, so reading the holy Quran at any time on Friday is something you shouldn’t miss. So, be sure to read Quran every Friday.

How long does it take to read Surah Rahman?

To recite surah Rahman, it will only take from 10 to 15 minutes to complete, it might take less or more depending on you. but since it’s a small surah that’s the average time to finish it.  

Tips to make time to read Quran even if you’re busy

The prophet peace and blessing be upon him said: “Read the Quran for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Judgment.”

Also, the prophet said that it saves a person from the hellfire, he said: “If you place the Quran in the cuticle and then you throw it in the fire, it will not burn.”

Memorizing and reading Quran grants us many rewards, as the prophet said: “Whoever recites a letter from the book of Lord, he will be credited with the good deed and a good deed gets a tenfold reward?”

Here’s how you can start reading Quran Daily even if you have no free time.

1-     Make your goal clear and doable and define your intentions:

The first thing you should do is to put a goal for yourself for example to read two pages every day. Put a goal that you can achieve not something impossible like “I will finish the whole Quran every day”.

Also, you have to know why you want to read the Quran daily, is it because of its many virtues, or because you saw your friend doing so and you want to do the same? Defining the reason will help you reach your goal. 

As the Holy Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said, “Our actions are always according to our intentions. And we only get what was intended.”

When doing something you should do it for Allah, not because you want to be better than someone else or because someone asked you to do so.

Know this, if you’re doing good deeds for Allah then Allah will help you along the way and give you the strength you need. However, if you’re doing it to please someone else then you won’t continue doing it.

To conclude this, the first thing you should do is to decide how much will you read daily. Secondly, make your intention to please Allah. Thirdly, ask Allah to give you the strength to keep reading Quran.

2-     Start with a small amount:

Some of us get overwhelmed and decide to read 5 juz every day, which is not impossible by the way, but as days pass they become unable to keep up and then they get disappointed with themselves and stop reading in the end.

That’s why in my opinion you should start by reading two to five pages every day in the first week then you can increase the number of pages in the second week or third week.

As the days go by you will find yourself reading one juz every day, and the Quran recitation will be a main part of your daily routine.

Don’t rush yourself at the beginning, what we want here is to make the Quran a main part of your daily life not to do the khatam Quran in one month. Take baby steps and you will succeed in the end.

3-     Read from your smartphone.

Thanks to the technology we have now we don’t have to carry the Quran with us all the time and everywhere we go. We can simply read Quran from a smartphone or laptop.

There are many Quran applications that you could download and will help whether in learning the correct recitation of the Quran, listening to it, or reading it.

Life is much easier now, even if there is no place to perform Wudu then you can read from the mobile. If you have free time or if you’re traveling there is nothing that can stop you from reading the Quran. 

There is also an app that shows you the ayah of the day like Muslim Pro, which will also help you in your journey.

4-     Listen to The Quran:

This is more to advise than an actual tip. Some people don’t like reading, so if you’re one of them then you could listen to Quran daily, and at the same time try to repeat what you hear and focus on what the reciter is saying. 

5-     Read Quran in your free time:

If you have any free time or time for practicing your hobbies then you could make some of this time for reading Quran.

For example, let’s say you love painting and you paint for two hours every day, then leave 30 minutes of them or even 15 minutes for Quran reading.

6-     Make your Quran recitation a part of the daily prayers:

Another amazing way is to read a page of the Quran after every salah or before it, this way you will be in the state of Wudu and you will divide the daily Quran reading into five parts which will encourage you to continue.

Most people prefer reading Quran before or after Far because it’s one of the best times for Quran recitation, and this exact time and the nighttime generally were mentioned in the Quran to be witnessed by the angels.

The Far time has no distractions at all, everyone is asleep, only you and the Quran, so, there will be no source of distraction. Also, this method is amazing for people who don’t like to perform Wudu a lot. And you will be able to concentrate easily and understand the verses that you read.

Making the Quran recitation a part of your daily routine is not easy and we all struggle in doing so, the important thing here to know is that it is okay if you miss a day without reading the Quran. Don’t feel disappointed with yourself, because we are all humans, and it’s normal to be tired and fail to read the Quran or do what we wanted to do.

What’s important is to not let that get to you, keep trying and ask Allah to help you keep going and you will in the end.

And if you have problems reciting the Quran in General, you should consider taking a Quran Recitation course for adults. They can be of great help to every one and with the right teacher, even the hardest parts can become easy in no time.
