Quran serves as a medium between God and man.

Quran contains words of God hence when a person reads it he in fact, establishes contact with God. Quran serves as a medium between God and man. Abu-Saeed al-Khudri has reported a saying of the Holy Prophet:
کتاب اللہ ھو الحبل الممدودمن السّماء الی الارض ط
"The Book of God is the rope extending from the heavens to the earth."
Iqbal has expressed the same idea in the following verses:
ماہمہ خاک و دل آگاہ اوست!
اعتصامش کن کہ حبل اللہ اوست!
چوں گہر در رشتہ او سفتہ شو
ورنہ مانند غبار آشتفہ شو!
 
"We are all dust and a heart, wide awake, is the Quran.
Hold on to it firmly, this is God's rope.
Knit yourself well in it like jewels in a thread,
Otherwise you will scatter and vanish like dust."
