This Qur’an being “ Kitaa-bullah ” (the book of Allah), must be

approached unlike any other book.

It is sad that we Muslims sometimes do not even know that there

are ADAB concerning how we are to approach the Qur’an. Thus the lack

of these adab only obstruct us from its benefits.

We are to be aware of the value of the Qur’an.


Condition of the reciter:

purity, politeness and quietness, facing the Qiblah

Amount to be recited – not forgetting to ensure understanding

what is being recited. Although you may not know Arabic, today

there are translations available (admittedly translation may not be

perfect, yet it can give some understanding of the meaning of the

Qur’an).

Recite it in slow and distinct manner (tartil) - middle tone-

Tajwid, makhraj, qalqalah, etc - beautify it melodiously.


To weep while reading the Quran

Fulfil the right (Haqq) of the verses recited :
