How long does it take to read the Quran?

Reading the Quran is one of the many ways to soothe one’s soul and spirit and the best way to gain hasanat. Every letter you read gives you 10 hasant. This hasanat is written in your sahifa or recorded by the Angels that are set to monitor you every day. There are not enough words that can be said on the power of the Quran, whether healing powers or cleansing ones.

In Surah, Isra God mentions the healing properties of the Quran by saying :

And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust.

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْاٰنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاۤءٌ وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۙ وَلَا يَزِيْدُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا خَسَارًا
