السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِThe Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) said: "Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest?" I replied: " It is Allah la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayum (Allah! none has the right to be worshiped but He, the Ever Living..." (2:256) Thereupon he (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) patted me in the chest and said, "Rejoice by this knowledge, O Abu Mundhir!"[Muslim]

Al-Mu'awwidhatain

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِThe Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) used to seek protection against the evil of jinn and the evil eyes till Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas were revealed. After the were revealed, he took to them for seeking Allah's protection and left everything else besides them.[At-Tirmidi]
Commentary: These Surah are also called 'Al-Mu'awwidhatain' which mean two Surah which provide protection. It is, therefore very useful to seek the protection of Allah by reciting them.

Read the Qur'an in a nice voice

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ"He who does not read the Qur'an in a pleasant tone is not of us"[Abu Dawud]
Commentary: The words "is not of us" mean that he is not following the way of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم )with regard to recitation of the Qur'an.

Read Quran Often

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ"Read the Qur'an regularly. By the One in Whose Hand Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) soul is, it escapes from memory faster than a came does from its tying ropes."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Read Quran

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاتهبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ" Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam, is a letter and Mim is a letter."[At-Tirmidhi]

O son of Adam

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ ‎"O son of Adam, how is your heart ever going to be softened by the recitation of Qur’an when all you read for is to reach the end of the surah?" — Hasan Al-Basri

Proficient

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ"The one who is proficient in the recitation of the quran will be honorable and obedient scribes(angels) and he who recited the quran, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have double reward."[Al Bukhari and Muslim]Note: Proficient here means one who reads the Quran in accordance with the rules of Ilm At-Tajwid. The hadith also highlights the merit of the reader of the Quran who does not know Ilm At-Tajwid and for that reason cannot read fluently. but in spite of this, he reads it with great effort. He will be given double reward, one for difficulty encountered in reciting it, another for reading it. Safratun translated in the Hadith as scribes (angels) mean the angels that convey the Wahy (Revelation) to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ). Imam Bukhari has taken it to mean "One who makes reconciliation". The angels who bring Wahy and chastisement from Allah.For more info read pages 793-794 Riyad-us-Saliheen

Verily, Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what you do.

Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. (6) Allâh has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allâh's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment. (7) And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: "We believe in Allâh and the Last Day" while in fact they believe not. (8) They (think to) deceive Allâh and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not! (9) In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allâh has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies. (10) And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers." (11) Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not. (12) And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him , Al-Ansâr and Al-Muhajirûn) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not (13) And when they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are alone with their Shayâtin (devils - polytheists, hypocrites), they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking." (14) Allâh mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly. (15) These are they who have purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And they were not guided. (16) Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted all around him, Allâh took away their light and left them in darkness. (So) they could not see. (17) They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path). (18) Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. But Allâh ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allâh will gather them all together). (19) The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allâh willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allâh has power over all things. (20)
