Concise answer<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Since the Holy Quran is Allah\u2019s (SWT) words and the Prophet of Islam\u2019s (PBUH) miracle, Muslims show the special respect to it even at the advent of Islam. According to the verses of Quran, recommendations and narrations of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), Muslims have been observing some special rules and terms in regards to recite the heavenly book that there hasn\u2019t had any previous record like that yet.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This kind of reciting the Holy Quran, has become famous as apparent rules of reciting the Heavenly Book.
\nSince Quran, according to the traditions, has an exterior and some inners, its rules in regards to recite it has divided into the two rules: 1. Apparent rules 2. Inner (spiritual) rules. This issue is mentioned by some verses of the Holy Quran and traditions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Imams (AS).<\/div>\n

Detailed Answer<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It is said that the rules in regards to recite the Holy Quran can be divided into two divisions. The\u00a0apparent\u00a0<\/em>rule and\u00a0inner<\/em>\u00a0(spiritual) rule. However, it should be considered some rules and terms regarding the apparent rules which is mentioned in its place. We can find the Quran inner rules by the Holy Quran itself and some traditions. The recommendation of the Holy Quran to those who want to recite it, is to recite it with Tarteel and think about what they are reciting profoundly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cOr a little more; and recite the Qur\u2019an Slow and in a clear tone\u201d [1] the Holy Quran said in another verse: \u201cThose to whom We have sent The Scripture, and they recite it as it Should be recited, they believe [in The Qur\u2019an] but those who disbelieve, They are indeed the losers.\u201d [2]<\/div>\n
According to the traditions and Ahadiths, the two verses point to the both apparent and inner rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran. Imam Sadiq (a.s) said in regards to the verse 121 of the Surah Al-Baqarah: \u201cWe the Ahlul Bayt are the people who recite the Holy Quran in the right way (as it deserves to be recited)\u201d [3]<\/div>\n
Naturally, Imam Sadiq (AS) declared the actual example of readers of the Holy Quran. It is likely that many believers who observe the both apparent and inner rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran can reach the level of real readers. Thus, Imam Sadiq (AS) interpreted this verse \u201c\u06a9\u0650\u062a\u0627\u0628\u064c \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0632\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u0627\u0647\u064f \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u06cc\u0652\u06a9\u064e \u0645\u064f\u0628\u0627\u0631\u064e\u06a9\u064c \u0644\u0650\u06cc\u064e\u062f\u0651\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0622\u06cc\u0627\u062a\u0650\u0647<\/span>\u201d [4] that is as follows: \u201cit means to recite the verses of the Holy Quran carefully, comprehend its truths and realities, do according to its rules and commends, be hopeful to its promises, be afraid of its warning, take an example of its stories, submit its orders and accept its prohibitions and interdictions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It doesn\u2019t mean to memorize the verses of the Holy Quran and recite it, because they memorize the Holy Quran\u2019s words but spoil its rights. It only means to ponder about verses of the Holy Quran and follow its rules and commands, as Allah (SWT) says: \u201cThis Book which We have sent down to You [O\u2019 Messenger] is a Blessed Book [of Wisdom] in order that the people Ponder about its Words of Revelation\u201d. [5]<\/div>\n
According to this holy Hadith, we can point to some cases regarding the spiritual (inner) rules of recitation of the Holy Quran that are as follows:<\/div>\n
1. Whenever they see a promise in the Holy Quran, they should be hopeful to reach it, and whenever see a warning, they should be afraid of being affected by that warning. Thus, if they find the heavenly or hellish verses of the Holy Quran, they are supposed to stay there and request Allah the Almighty to grant them the heaven and seek shelter in Allah (SWT) from the devils\u2019 temptations.[6]<\/div>\n
\u201cThey stand up on their own feet during the nights and recite the Holy Quran with the special rules and terms. Whenever they see the verses that contain encouragement and reward, they hope to obtain it and become eager that Allah the Almighty will grant them the reward, like those who expect to visit the one who they have been waiting for. And whenever they find the verses that contain intimidations and fears, they pay more attention to it, in a way such that their skins began to shudder and their heart dread of the fears.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Their body become lean. It sounded like that the hellish exhalation and the voice of its flames and encountering its fiery chains are actually reverberating on their ears. So that they fall onto the ground and shed tears and seek shelter in Allah from the evils\u2019 temptations\u201d Imam Ali (AS) said regarding the features (characteristics) of the believers. [7]<\/div>\n
2. What the other inner rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran is to ponder about its verses and comprehend them and then follow its rules and commands. Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted from Imam Ali (AS) that His Excellency said: \u201cBe aware that you will get nothing if you recite the Holy Quran without pondering.\u201d [8]<\/div>\n
3. Paying more attention that Quran is not the human\u2019s words and considering the Greatness of Allah (SWT) that paying homage to God\u2019s words is actually paying homage to God.<\/div>\n
4.\u00a0Tahliya<\/em>\u00a0is another inner rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran. Which means to coincide himself with the meaning of the verse he is reciting it. E.g. if he recites the story and tale of the Prophets (AS), he should take it as an example or a lesson to learn. And if he recites Allah\u2019s names and qualities, he should ponder about their examples.[9]<\/div>\n
5. Takhliyah is one of the rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran. Which means, when someone wants to learn something of Quran, in order to understand the Holy Quran better the one should remove all mental doubts from his mind.[10] This kind of rules called as\u00a0Takhliyah<\/em>.<\/div>\n
6. Remove all undesirable qualities especially haughtiness, hypocrisy,[11] envy and greed is another inner rules in regards to recite the Holy Quran. So, if one couldn\u2019t remove them from himself, the meaning and concept of Allah\u2019s words won\u2019t manifest in his heart.<\/div>\n
7. The spiritual purification is one of the highest of spiritual rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran. In other words, if one\u2019s heart is not pure, the one couldn\u2019t find the truth and reality of the Holy Quran as it says: \u201c\u0644\u0627 \u06cc\u0645\u0633\u0651\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0637\u0647\u0651\u0631\u0648\u0646<\/span>\u201d And that no one should touch it but The pure ones [12].<\/div>\n
8. Seeing the Holy Quran as the sanative prescription is another spiritual rules of the Holy Quran that a reader of Quran should observe it, not as a simple text instead.<\/div>\n
It is mentioned in a tradition that there are some people who see the Quran as A healing and seek medicine for their pains of it. So, Allah the Almighty, for the reason that those who take their cure of the Holy Quran, God keep pains and misfortunes away from people and sends down God\u2019s Grace water on them.[13]<\/div>\n
