The Believer Who Recites the Qur'an: The Fragrant Fruit Parable
The Prophet ﷺ compared the believer who recites the Qur'an to a fragrant citrus fruit whose taste and smell are both good.
Evidence and guidance
The Prophet ﷺ compared the believer who recites the Qur'an to a fragrant citrus fruit whose taste and smell are both good. The parable joins inward faith with an outward relationship to revelation.
How to apply it
Recitation should therefore accompany sincerity, character and obedience. A beautiful voice or many completions are not substitutes for faith and conduct. Keep your intention for Allah and build a daily relationship with His Book.
