Surah Yunus, Ayat 1-2

Ayat 1. Alif-Lam-Ra. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. These are the Verses of the Book (the Qur'an) Al-Hakim [showing lawful and unlawful things, explaining Allah's (Divine) Laws for mankind, leading them to eternal happiness by ordering them to follow the true Islamic Monotheism, - worshipping none but Allah Alone - that will guide them to Paradise and save them from Hell].
Ayat 2. Is it wonder for mankind that We have sent Our Inspiration to a man from among themselves (i.e. Prophet Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) (saying): "Warn mankind (of the coming torment in Hell), and give good news to those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and in His Prophet Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) that they shall have with their Lord the rewards of their good deeds?" (But) the disbelievers say: "This is indeed an evident sorcerer (i.e. Prophet Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) and the Quran)! 

Hazrat Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.'' 
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2910].  

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yunus Ayat 1.Alif-Lam-Ra.[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. This Hadith urges us to recite the Qur'an and also mentions the great reward for reciting it.
