Why does Qur’an not bore or cause weariness?
This is the wonderful eloquence in its wording; that is, in the words employed. Yes, just as the Qur’an is extraordinarily eloquent in regard to its style and manner of exposition, so is there a truly fluent eloquence in its wording. Clear evidence of the existence of this eloquence is the fact that it does not bore or cause weariness; while the testimony of the brilliant scholars of the sciences of rhetoric forms a decisive proof of the wisdom of the eloquence.
Yes, it does not weary even if repeated thousands of times; indeed, it gives pleasure. It is not burdensome for the memory of a small and simple child; children can memorize it easily. It is not unpleasant to the ear, pained by the slightest word, of someone extremely ill; it is easy on it. It is like sherbet to the palate of one in the throes of death. The recitation of the Qur’an gives sweet pleasure to the ear and mind of such a person just like Zamzam water to his mouth and palate. The reason for its not causing boredom, and the wisdom of it, is this: it is food and sustenance for the heart, strength and wealth for the mind, water and light for the spirit, and the cure and remedy for the soul. Everyday we eat bread, yet we do not tire of it. But if we were to eat the choicest fruit every day, it would cause boredom. That means it is because the Qur’an is truth and reality and truthfulness and guidance and wonderfully eloquent that it does not cause weariness and preserves its freshness and agreeableness as though preserving a perpetual youth. One of the Qurayshi leaders even, an expert orator, was sent by the idolators to listen to the Qur’an. He went and listened, then returned and said to them: “These words have such a sweetness and freshness that they do not resemble the words of men. I know the poets and soothsayers; these words do not resemble theirs. The best we can do is mislead our followers and say it is magic.”
What do you think about it?
Assalamu Alaikum.
Well said. There is nothing like that of Quran. Nothing Nothing and Nothing. You listen it hundred times, thousand times,,, you are addicted more and more. The beauty increases, the taste increases. Because when we are reciting Quran or listening to it. We are reciting words that are pure. Our heart is listening to words that are pure which is from Creator and not of any creations.
Allâh has sent down the Best statement, a Book (this Qur’ân), its parts resembling each other (in goodness and truth), and oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allâh. That is the guidance of Allâh. He Guides therewith whom He wills and whomever Allâh sends astray, for him there is no guide. (39:23)

I cannot read the koran more than five minutes before I feel the urge to vomit.
The Bible says that Lot felt revulsion for the sins of the people among whom he lived. In the same way, I feel revulsion for the koran.
I pray daily that God would take the muslims of Y!A away from islam and give them to His Son, Jesus.

Masha’Allah, how beautiful your question is!
Sometimes when I read the Quran, I cry, from the beauty of the verses and the hope they give me.

WITHOUT A DOUBT YOU HAVE NOT READ THE QURAN. THE QURAN IS NOT WRITTEN IN CHRONOLOGICAL ODER OR IN CONTEXT OF MOHAMMAD’S LIFE. IT IS BY FAR THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.

Uhhh…so we are just supposed to just take your word for it? Any evidence here? Any studies of people who have read the quran over and over compared to people who read another similar book, like mein kampf from adolf hitler?
Ive read the nasty book. Most of it is full of hatred. I guess its hard to get bored when you read all the hatred in the quran but there are parts of the quran that just babble on and on about nothing. Actually the whole quran can be divided as follows: babbling on and on about killing and hating kafirs, babbling on and on about the hellfires, babbling on and on about stupidities and falsehoods, and finally no more than a page (collectively) of good stuff.

Because it is word of Allah.
