Reciting the Noble Qur’an
Reciting the Qur’an disciplines the soul in many respects. It teaches man what he is required to do and stirs in him what he needs to purify his soul.
Reciting the Qur’an enlightens the heart and reminds it of every proper conduct. In this way, it aids the other duties of Islam bringing forth their fruits, such as the Prayer, alms-giving, fasting and the pilgrimage …
Reciting the Qur’an is more likely to be effective if one ponders over the meanings with humility and contemplation

1.Understanding the original meaning of the words in the Qur’an

7. The feel that Allah is addressing you
8. To respond to the meanings of the words
9. To be aware that Allah is witnessing your recitation
10. To believe the words of the Qur’an are referring to you
