ANSWER:

No one said it was fard but at the same time, if you were given the chance to be in the highest levels of paradise or remain in the lowest level, only an idiot would choose the lowest level!

If someone gives you your pay check and says that he would like to give you a bonus as well, only an idiot would refuse saying that he only wants his salary without anything more. 

QUESTION: I was trying to encourage a fellow Muslim to read the Qur’an, and they said to me that reading Qur’an is not fard, whereas praying salah is. How do I respond to this assertion that reading Qur’an is not fard with a strong reply based on authentic evidence?
