Just a thread I saw on another forum which I really liked. Add your own
You Know you're addicted to the Quran when...
the pages of your Mus'haf become wrinkly and the edges begin splitting due to the turning of the pages. The colour of the pages indicate which part you have reached.
certain actions almost automatically remind you of certain ayahs
"You can picture in your mind almost exactly what's being recited, imagery forms, you experience the emotion of the tract and have to pause to praise Allah or seek refuge in Him."
you have an almost physical pain when you hear the Qur'an being recited with poor tajweed/pronunciation
you are able to tell where the reciter is from simply by nuances of their pronunciation/accent
May Allah make us among those who have these characteristics and qualities. Ameen!
When you are used to memorize Quran by listening to a specific reciter and his recitation is played somewhere you feel that you missed the Quran all of sudden at that moment and wanna go back home to read it.
Amen.... Yes its a fact as we are Muslims i think ALLAH have already teaches us something about Islam and Quran. I have analyzed that children love to have prayer and recite Quran, the Muslims never thought that may be this book is not true. Even in Pakistan we are not familiar with Arabic but we feel no difficulty in reading Quran.
...when you've listen to a surah so many times, you can almost be sure that you know by heart... but you still need to review it because you need to make sure that you know right.
...when you listen to surahs you only dream to know by heart. Later on, you know it and when you listen to that surah again you just think "subhanAllah, I can't believe I know this surah... Alhamdulillah!"
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).
Surah al-Ĥijr(The Rocky Tract) 15:98
...when you hear an ayah that you know but you can't remember from which surah it's from, so you stop everything that you're doing and silently continue to recite the following ayahs until you recognize what surah you're reciting (this happens to me often, loq.)
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).

Now I know this will look strange to many but it happened, I am sure many of you experienced such thing.
Someone asked you to recite from something you already memorized long time ago like months or years ago. You start reciting and you were not focusing on the words you were reciting yet you recite it correctly and very well, but suddenly when you try to concentrate on what you are saying you suddenly stopped and start to get confused whether you made any mistake or not. It feels like it wasn't you who were reciting in the beginning. Someone told me that this is the Unconscious mind inside you who were retrieving the old saved in your memory without you even noticing it.
it happened to my friend in the class and my teacher realized that and she was saying to her: "keep reciting, don't concentrate on what you are saying, you are reciting very fluently"
Have anyone of you experienced such thing. I do sometimes.
I am not a Muslim, but I'm still attached to my Qur'an! I listen to recitations and I memorise surahs. I learn the Arabic from it, and learn more about Islam.
I also keep it very well taken care of and am quite defensive if anyone treats it like some other book.
[Edit: I don't even let my Qur'an touch the floor. If it does, I wipe it off, lol.]
