It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No human being has been granted permission regarding anything better than what has been granted regarding the two rak‘ahs which he performs, and as long as a person remains engaged in prayer, goodness continues to be showered upon his head, and a person does not attain closeness to Allah by anything like the closeness attained through the speech that comes from Him, that is, the Qur’an.
