Reciting is better than listening to the Qur'an

Q 2: Thanks to Allah, I recite the Qur'an daily. When I have free time, I listen to the Qur'an recited by my favorite reciters. Will I be rewarded for listening to it? Will those who recite or hear the Qur'an without understanding its meanings be rewarded? Define and exemplify the types of the Qur'anic recitation?

A: Reciting and listening to the Glorious Qur'an are permissible and rewarded, but recitation is better than listening. Moreover, recitation with reflection and contemplation is better than without them.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
