§  that it is being said to him. Similarly, he should seek admonition and advice from the parables of previous Ummahs and the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 378)

§  Further, the reciter should accept the effect of the context of blessed verses. For example, he should read about the circumstances of deniers, that is, ‘Aad and Samood etc. and the torment that was inflicted upon them so that he can develop the fear of Allah’s torment and His Supremacy and Power. When he reads about Paradise and its blessings, he should make Du’a for attaining them. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 855)

§  It is also amongst the hidden manners of reciting Quran that one should have deep thought while reciting the Holy Quran, especially, its meanings and sense should be deeply thought over. Leader of the believers, Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم has said: There is no goodness in the worship which has no understanding and there is no goodness in the Qira’at (recitation of the Qur’an with correct pronunciation and cadence) which has no careful consideration. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 374)
