Hadhrat ' Umar ( Radhiyallaho anho ) narrates that Rasullullah ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) said :"Allah exalts many people by means ofthis Book ( the Holy Qur'an ), and He also degrades and disgraces many others by of the same."People who believe in the Holy Book and act upon it are given by Allah position of honour and respect, both in this life as well as in theHereafter, while those who do not act upon it disgraced by Allah. This principle is also borne out by the various ayaat of the Holy Qur'an.At one place it reads:"He misleads many by this Book and guides many thereby."At another place we came across:"And We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and mercy for believers, though it increases for the evil-doers naught save ruin."The Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) is also reported to have said;"Many hypocrites of this Ummat will be the qurraa,i.e., those who recite the Qur'an correctly." In 'Ihya-ui-Ulum' it is reported from some Mashaa ' ikh," As soon as a man start reading a surah (chapter ofthe Holy Qur'an), the Angels start invoking mercy for him and they continue to do so till he stops reading; on the contrary another personstarts reading a surah and the Angels start cursing him and theycontinue to do so till he completes the reading."
