Allah guides to His light whomsoever He will. And Allah sets forth parables to men, and Allah know all things full well.This light is now lit in houses with regard to which Allah has ordained that they be exalted and that His name be remembered in them, Therein is He glorified in the mornings and the evenings (24:36-37)

And the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Qur-an is like the colocynth which tastes bitter and has no smell."

(Agreed upon by all narrators).
