The Holy Ramzan bears a special and unique position in the Islamic calendar because the holy Quran was revealed in this month.

Tilawat (recitation from the holy Quran) is a great virtue. It is more virtious in this month. The Messenger of Allah used to recite Quran more and more in this month in conparison with other months. He said, "Whover recites an Ayat (verse) from the Quran (in Ramzan ) will receive a similar reward as the one who recites the whole Quran in other months." (Bukhari Sharif)

He said, "Invoke your Lord in right earnest with hearts that are free of sin and evil, to enable you to fast and to recite His book (Al Quran)." (Sermon of Rasulullah (SM))

Imam Baqir (R) says : "Everything has a spring time and the spring time of the Quran is the month of Ramzan''.

Though recitation of the verses of the Quran is of great merit and virtue, it will be more virtuous to try to understand the mearing and significance of the verses. So, those who recite Quran, should try to go deep into the Message of Allah.
