The answers on Hawramani.com are based on the research of Ikram Hawramani in the Quran, hadith, scholarly works and respected fatwa sources. You can view Ikram Hawramani's credentials on the about page. Please note that we do not issue fatwas, we only compile the opinions of respected scholars (even when a fatwa is not explicitly cited) to make their opinions accessible to English-speaking Muslims. If an answer does not cite fatwas, please feel free to leave a comment asking for a fatwa citation and we will update the answer as soon as possible to include fatwas.

IslamQA: Is the reward for reading the Quran silently different than reciting it aloud?

Is the reward for reading the Quran silently different than reciting it outloud whenever ppl mention reading the Quran they always say to recite it, so must you do it out loud or is it the same as reading it silently? Thank you

There is no clear evidence in the Quran or Sunna that tells us there is a difference between reciting the Quran aloud or reading it silently (or even listening to it). So I believe the reward depends on a person’s effort and the amount of time they dedicate to it, not on the method.
