DOES NOT RECITATION OF QURAN EARN (DIVINE) REWARDS?
What is stated above is not meant to convey the idea that the recitation of Quran is not worth while. It would be wrong to say such things in view of the virtues and importance given to recitation and memorization of Quran in Quran and the Hadith.

We have written a note on the Recite this book which has been revealed to you (Ankaboot:45 ) in the commentary of Dawatul Quran explaining this ayah, as under: The command for the recitation of the Quran and establishing prayers, in the above referred to struggle of truth and falsehood, to the Prophet and through him to his followers hints at the direction: let these non-believers do so if they want to waste their lives. It is for you to cultivate a quality in your self which would adorn your lives and make you successful in the Hereafter, and that quality is your strong relationship with Allah. And strong relationship with Allah is established through recitation of the Quran
