I don't even understand why you people have those hadiths to be honest.
No need to read Quran, someone will already tell you what to think of it....

[Matthew]

How about neither. I suggest you watch something on grammar lessons because you need them badly.

both are good.............watching a good islamic channel would increase your knowledge about islam....and reading Quran too

just try to make a balance......salam alaikum

There is nothing wrong with doing both Insha'a Allah, since watching the channel will also help in acquiring knowledge generally about Islam and you will also learn more about the Quran Insha'a Allah.

You cannot actually compare and choose like that, because reading Quran is a kind of worship, which you have to try doing as much as you can, because it is hated to leave Quran reading for long period, as it makes the heart stoned and weakens your faith and connection to Allah.

You should maintain reading Quran as part of your daily life, or at least once a week.

However, I do not mean by this reading just repeating the words loud. You have to read it with your soul, and with all your senses and attention, and try to understand and feel every word. This is the reading that Allah loves and rewards you for it.

You must also apply everything you read in Quran to your own life, and follow Allah's laws and orders, because a Muslim who just read the Quran by voice with no thinking and no acting is not a real Muslim, and Allah will punish him for not following and executing what he read and knew from Quran.

If you read books of Tafseer that explains the words of Quran it will help you understand even more.

So, reading, understanding, and following Quran are important part of your faith, and not just preferred or extra. Islam warned us not to abandon Quran.

You can also listen to Quran tapes or mp3, it is great and will calm you down.

Although, the best way for worshiping Allah by Quran and get more rewards is reading Quran by your own voice with attention and faith.

On the other hand, watching an Islamic channel is not a worship or essential part from faith, and you cannot equalize it with Quran reading.

However, watching these channels is good to your faith from a different point, because watching religious shows, Tafseer programs, programs about the life of Prophet Mohammad, and hearing Quran all are good for your faith, and they increase your knowledge of your religion, which is praised and complimented in Islam.

You could say a similar thing about some Islamic websites and Facebook pages.

Just make sure you are selecting a well trusted channel or web page, because sometimes you may find fake or irrepressible ones that provide wrong information or Bidaa for Shiaa.

You can also find lessons for Imams on Youtube and reading books.

If you had doubts about things you heard or seen on TV, or web, or in book, you can always ask your Imam in your neighborhood.
