who recites the Holy Quran apart from Salah in Wudu, for him there are 25 virtues. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 366)

§  Another manner of reciting Quran is to recite it slowly and with lots of pauses. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 368)

§  Further, it should be recited melodiously with beautiful voice.

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded to recite the Holy Quran with so much sweet voice, as He عَزَّوَجَلَّ has not commanded to do any other thing. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 397, Hadees 792)

It should also be remembered! Letters should not be pronounced so long that their pronunciation gets changed or the verse of Quran gets changed. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 371)

§  The Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Weep when reciting the Holy Quran. If you are unable to weep, make a weeping face.

(Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 2, pp. 129, Hadees 1337)

§  Qira`at should be done in so much voice that the reciter can listen to it himself because Qira`at is the name of it that letters should be pronounced clearly in loud voice. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 370)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless us with the privilege to recite the Holy Quran daily keeping in mind these apparent manners!

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
