Etiquette for Reading the Holy Quran (Adab al-Tilawah)
- State of Purity (Taharah): It is highly recommended to perform Wudu before reading and reflecting upon the Quran.
- Seeking Refuge & Blessing: Begin by reciting the Ta'awwudh ("A'oodhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajeem") and the Basmalah ("Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem").
- Reciting with Tartil: The Quran instructs: "And recite the Quran with measured, distinct recitation." (Surah Al-Muzzammil 73:4). Avoid rushing through verses.
- Contemplation (Tadabbur): Pause at verses describing Allah's mercy to make Dua, and seek refuge when encountering verses of divine warning.
