Al-Qur'an is the greatest miracle that God gave to Prophet Muhammad SAW through the angel Gabriel. This miracle becomes the life guide of Muslims in carrying out life in the world. All the problems and solutions of human life are listed in the Al-Quran.
There is no doubt about the greatness of the Koran. Apart from being the source of all law and knowledge, the Koran also has beautiful language. The language of the Koran is so poetic. The Koran is not a book of poetry or literature. However, the beauty of the language is incomparable. Arab society during the Jahiliyah era liked to compose poetry. Poems that have poetic value and are full of wisdom will be displayed at the Kaaba. Therefore, Arabs often compete to compose poetry. For this reason, the Koran was revealed to the Arabs who liked to write poetry. The beauty of the language of the Koran beats all the poetry of that time. Apart from the composition of the language, the Al-Quran is also very beautiful when it is recited. The beauty of chanting the verses of the Koran can calm the hearts of those who read it and those who hear it.
The rhythm of reading the Koran is in line with the body's metabolism, which is important for improving health. The definition of health according to WHO is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". (a condition of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just the absence of disease or disability).
An expert has researched human biological and psychological responses when hearing A-Quan using a set of electronic equipment and computers. Respondents consisted of Muslims who could not speak Arabic, and non-Muslims who could not speak Arabic. As a result, 97 percent of the experiments found that there was a spontaneous decrease in nerve pressure levels when hearing the Koran. Apart from that, 65 percent of respondents showed that the electrical energy in their muscles decreased more during the experiment when listening to the Koran, while only 33 percent reported reading other than the Koran.
Changes occur in the brain's nerve organs directly which will then affect other body organs. The experiment was carried out 210 times, respondents were read sentences from the Koran and Arabic sentences not from the Koran 85 times. Arabic readings that are not Al-Quan are read and pronounced like the Koran. The reading was done alternately and respondents did not know which was the Koran and which was not. When you hear the Koran, nervous tension decreases so that your body is refreshed. The body's stamina increases and has the potential to ward off various diseases or treat them. []
