As they say, “first things first”; so is the case with Muslims as far as learning Holy Quran is concerned. This is because their Mighty Creator and the creator of the whole universe, i.e. Allah (SWT), and His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instruct them greatly upon this.
This is because Allah Almighty has made Qur’an incomparable and exalted source of guidance for humanity, the one this is ordained to guide whole humanity rather than a particular group of people to the righteous path leading to Allah Almighty’s will.

The best way to determine the significance of Quran learning is to consult the words of Allah Almighty (Qur’an itself) and His beloved Apostle Muhammad’s (PBUH) words (Hadith). We proceed by quoting a relevant verse, followed by an appropriate hadhith highlighting the importance of learning Quran:
Al-Baqara [2:231] …..He sent down to you the book and Wisdom, for your instruction. And fear Allah and know that Allah is well acquainted with all things.
Prophet Muhammad once said
“On the Day of Qiyaamah a crown of such brilliance will be placed on the heads of the parents of one who learnt the Qur’aan and practised on its laws, that its glitter will outshine the brilliance of the sun which penetrates your houses. What then do you think will be the position of the one who himself learnt the Qur’aan and acted in accordance with it?”(Ahmad and Abu Dawood)
May Allah (SWT) helps us with His special assistance in fulfilling one of the most important religious obligations of learning Quran and practicing our lives on the principles mentioned in it.
