Effects of Reading Quran on Heart Rate, Blood Pressure and Perceived Stress Levels

[http://www.e-quranlearning.com]

Studies show that there are positive effects of reading Quran on heart
rate, Psychology and blood pressure.

There has been very little research on the effects of holy Qur’an on
human body. According to research by, Vander Hoven from Netherlands
stated that “Muslims who can read Arabic and who read the Holy Qur’an
regularly can protect themselves from psychological diseases”.

Yucel Salih (2007) “there are statistical changes in body temperature
and respiratory rate, but they are not significant enough to support
the positive effects of prayer on physical well-being”. He also stated
that “the current study found statistically significant changes of
physiological conditions, and the study supports the hypothesis that
prayer does have positive effects on physiology”.

There was such a research also carried out at University of Sal ford.
Heart rate, blood pressure and perceived stress levels were measured
before and after reading Surah Alam Nashrah and Surah Al Rahman from
the Holy Qur’an.

The participants heart rate, blood pressure and perceived stress
levels decreased after reading Surah Alam Nashrah, Surah Al Rahman
from the Holy Qur’an.10 Muslim psychology undergraduates were
interviewed.

Another research carried out on ten Muslim students. It educates and
guides the reader to living a good life. It increases the faith and
relaxes them. That has an effect on the psychology of Muslim students.

There are psychological and physiological effects on a person reading
Quran. It lower downs the perceived stress levels, heart rate and
blood pressure of the person reading Quran.
