The Reality of Recitation of Quran

 

Shaykh Abdur-Razzaaq al-Badr:

"Recitation of Quran is not merely reciting its letters or memorizing its verses and chapters. Indeed the true reality of recitation is reciting, understanding and acting (upon it). So whoever does not work by the Quran, he is not from its people with merely memorizing it by its letters. Rather, one is not from its people until the Quran is seen in him in terms of worship, character, and avoidance of that which displeases Allaah."
