WE BELIEVE that the recitation of QURAN is the best of worship, because it inspires the reciter to think and to contemplate, by which actions may result. QURAN addressing the prophet says:_
Keep vigil all the night (i.e stand in prayer) except for a few hour_half the night, more or less; and with measured and. rhythmic tone recite the QURAN.
And addressing all the Muslims, QURAN has:_
Read you the QURAN as much as you can.
Do they not contemplate the QURAN, (so as to catch its meanings) or their hearts are locked up?
And We have indeed made the QURAN, easy to understand and remember. Then is there anyone who may receive admonition?
And QURAN is a book which We have revealed as a blessing: So follow it, and be righteous, so that you receive God's Mercy.
Therefore those who read QURAN, without any contemplation, and actoin, lose a lot for ignoring two main, important elements (thought and act) and grasping only one.(reading)
