I have no idea... but do both.. recite it, whn u get tired start listening WITH concenteration... seek reward from Allah...
or if u r chopping of vegitables in kitchen or driving, u cant read but you can listen so do that...
that's my opinion.

I heard few saying that reciting is not that important, listening gains more reward. So was a bit confused, and np i'll research on it thank you

can't be, ther are quite a number of ahadith on virtue of reciting the quran.. including that kiramun barara one.. I'll reply to u if I can find the time and info,. inshaAllah...

Well I've the same confusion, I do both. Recite a few pages after fajr and then listen to it till the sun rise. It's awesome: you can download it with translation here

No problem

since u said ppl say reciting isn't important, I'd like to mention this:
Abu Umaamah related that the Prophet said: “Read the Quran, for indeed it will come on the Day of Standing (Judgement) as an intercessor for its companions.” [Muslim]

“Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allaah, he will have a reward, and this reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that 'Alif, Laam, Meem' (a combination of letters frequently mentioned in the Holy Quran) is a letter, rather I am saying that 'Alif' is a letter, 'Laam' is a letter and 'Meem' is a letter.” [At-Tirmithi(hasan)]

‘Aa'ishah related that the Prophet said: “Indeed the one who recites the Quran beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. As for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have twice that reward.” [Al-Bukhaari & Muslim]
