Are there any benefits for listening to the holy Koran?

It’s easier than reading it.

Probably not. It’s like listening to any religious book on tape (bible, torah, etc.) – if you believe it, it will give you some comfort to listen to it. If you don’t, it won’t.

But it’s not going to make you a better person or make hair grow on your chest.

I’m all for learning about anything new, the benefit is in new knowledge and the ability to speak intelligently with others of diverse interest.

Sure if you are interested in learning about the Koran, go for it. Then you will have a basic knowledge of what the Koran teaches, unlike some people like me, who know virtually nothing about the Koran.

As worth it as reading any other religious text.

There are lots of benefits for listening to the noble Koran such as:
Modern technology proved that listening to the noble Koran gives the soul quietness, serenity, peace and tranquility; it is like high standard sedative tablets without any side effects as other chemical medicines. The researcher doctor Ahmed Al-Kady proved that in his book in Arabic and English “The effect of the Koran on human soul”.
Listening to the Koran also lessens the gloomy soul and widens the luminous soul of the listener, and this affects his behavior and his deeds:
– This hides the incentive and desire of evil and strengthens the motives and desire to do the good.
– It also increases love, passion, cordiality, kindness and pity towards human beings, and weakens the incentives of evil, hatred, offense, harm and oppression towards human beings.
There is no doubt that all mankind need all this badly.

About as much benefits as listing to The Book of Mormon.

I’d say yes. The Koran a serious book, intended as a gift designed to guide people into right
behavior and understanding. Many people (here, for example) are angry toward religion in general, their own in particular. But you can listen and see for yourself
what benefit you may find in it. If you don’t find much, you can always stop.

Personally, I say no. Like any religious text, it’s a deep enough book that you should actually read it. Having it in front of you will allow you to “rewind” a lot easier, which is important for a serious book. If it were a more casual book for entertainment, then yes. However, I question the validity of audio versions of more complex books.

Still, like @Coloma I believe that, knowledge is a good thing, and it’s good to know about the beliefs of one-fifth of humanity. Even if you don’t get the benefits @shehabzooz mentions, you will be more educated.

One note about the Quran is that, unlike the Bible, they didn’t allow it to be “corrupted” by translation. In other words, if it isn’t in Arabic, it isn’t the Quran. If you aren’t fluent in Arabic, you can get a rough idea of what it says by one of the translations, but the nature of linguistics is such that you won’t know what it really says.

@zenvelo Listening is easier, but you miss a lot of details, as well as lose the luxury of time to absorb and reflect on the information.
