Assalaamualikum Friend,
A Muslim’s home is their personal fortress. It is the place where they feel very comfortable to worship their Lord as they please. No wary eyes asking you why you keep hitting your head on the floor while praying. Our homes are our comfort, and they should be the place where a lot of Quran is recited.
Our home should be a house of the Quran, but this doesn’t come by default or by accident. To establish a Quranic presence in our homes, we need to cultivate deliberate habits that will lead us there, Insha'Allah.

1. Establish a Recitation or Memorization Routine
Whatever is given priority in our lives is what thrives. Imagine that you had to take the 6 am train to your place of work and missing the train means missing work for that day. You would probably establish a routine that sees you firmly awake and dressed every day before 6 am. If we want to make our homes the houses of Quran, one of our priorities should be establishing a time to recite the Quran without fail. Reciting the Quran is not something that we should do only when we have an Imaan high, during Ramadan, when we have difficulties, or when the mood is right. It is something that should be a part of our everyday lives.
2. Consistency and Discipline
The easier part is to carve out a time for recitation of the Quran, and the more difficult part is actually being consistent. The first few days after you made the resolution to read the Quran every day may be marked by high spirits, but after some time, you may not feel so inspired as before and you may see a decline in how much you recite. This is where consistency and discipline come in. Hardly does anyone feel inspired to do the same thing over and over again every day of their lives. What keeps people going with a routine is the discipline that they have instilled in themselves.
3. Remember the Rewards and Benefits of Reciting the Quran
We know that all of our accepted good deeds will be rewarded by Allah (ta’ala) if He wills, so this should be motivation for us to keep reciting the Quran. Beyond that, here are a couple of the Messenger of Allah (SAW)’s statements on the rewards and benefits for reciting the Quran in our homes.
Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, “Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.” (Riyad as-Saliheen)
Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed Ash-Shaitan does not enter the house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is recited.” (Tirmidhi)
