Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, rahimullaah, said: "If you want to benefit from the Qur'an, you must concentrate and devote your heart solely when reciting and listening to it. You must pay attention, and try to comprehend the fact that what you are reading is the word of Allaah. As you read, you must know that Allaah is addressing you in and through this Qur'an. Indeed, it is the words of Allaah to you through the tongue of His Messenger." Read Suratul Qaf 50:37, which means, "Verily therein is indeed a reminder for him who has a heart or gives ear while he is heedful."
