Reciting The Qur'an : What an Honor!!

As-Salaam alaikum, 
  For the person who reads /recites the Holy Qur'an and listens to it from others, the Qur'an is a cure, thus he becomes rich without wealth, becomes honored without relatives and finds solace where others have anxiety, as observed by Sheikh Muhammad ibn Husayn in his book, 'The Character of The People of the Qur'an'.
 Be among those whose concern when they begin reciting a Surah of the Qur'an is, 'When will I be admonished by what I recite?' Your objective should not be 'when will I complete the Surah?'
Rather, your objective should be 'When will I understand from Allah Ta'ala, His address? When will I restrain myself? When will I learn a lesson?' This is because the recitation of the Holy Qur'an is an act of worship, and thus cannot be done with heedlessness.
Best Wishes.
