The recitation of the Holy Qur’an is no exception, as it is accompanied by specific rulings and etiquettes of recitation. Some of these etiquettes are obligatory, while others are recommended and enhance the beauty and impact of the recitation. Observing these etiquettes of recitation deepens one’s reverence for the Qur’an, attracts abundant spiritual benefits, and increases the divine blessings bestowed upon the reciter.

It is notable that the etiquettes of Quranic recitation are derived from the Holy Quran itself and from the traditions (Ahadith) of the infallible Imams (AS). The purified Prophet’s household (the ) are the locus of revelation and the place where Gabriel descended; therefore, when it comes to the proper manners of recitation, this family should be considered as the model and guideline.

As the Messenger of God (PBUHH) said: “They are with the Quran and the Quran is with them; they do not separate from it, nor does it separate from them …” . [1] 1. Purity and Wudu (Ablution) We should strive to be ritually pure and in a state of wudu when we recite the Quran. If we intend to touch the written text of the Quran with any part of our body, such as our hand, it is obligatory to be pure and in wudu.

“A servant should not recite the Quran when he is in a state other than purity until he purifies himself” . [2] If the Quran we have chosen to read has also been translated into Persian or another language, touching the translation or its explanatory meanings with a hand or another body part while not in a state of purity and without wudu is not considered objectionable and is permitted.
