One of the important effects of the Quran on student learning and achievement is reflected in emotions. Emotions control the attention of students, influence their motivation to learn, modify their choice of learning strategies and affect their self-regulation of learning.

Repeated measures quasi experimental design method was conducted, thirty undergraduate students whom participated in the test were divided into two groups; good Quran reciters group and weak Quran reciters group, every student has been attending four sessions. In the first session, the reciter focused on Tajweed rules, the second session student focused on some stories in a certain Surah, third session focused on certain verses of heaven, hell and punishment in Quran, and last session focused on understanding the meaning of the Quran and at the end of this session the student reads text from a newspaper. The parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) were measured to examine the outcome. The results show a clear difference in HRV data between good and weak readers, good readers have control of their heart actions and reactions. Thus, the good reciter students have high score in HRV and better control of their heart function.
