Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Introduction to the Glorious Quran Selected Phrases about the Qur’an in the Glorious Qur’an 73:1‑6: O thou folded in garments (refers to the holy Prophet). Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night. Half of it, or a little less. Or a little more, and recite the Qur’an in slow, measured rhythmic tones. Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.

[^1] Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the word (of prayer and praise). 27:6: And most certainly you are made to receive the Qur’an from the presence of One Who is the Wise and the Knowing. 10:15: But when Our Clear Signs are communicated unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, say: "Bring us a Qur’an other than this, or change it." Say: "It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it.

I follow naught but what is revealed unto me. If I were to disobey my Lord, 1 should myself fear the Penalty of a Mighty Day." 28:85: Verily, He Who ordained the Qur’an for thee, will bring thee back to the Place of Return. Say: "My Lord Knows best who it is that brings true guidance and who is in manifest error." 17:45‑46: When thou dost recite the Qur’an We place between thee and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, a hidden barrier.

And We put coverings on their hearts (and minds) and a heaviness in their ears lest they understand It. And when thou commemorate thy Lord ‑ Him alone ‑in the Qur an, they turn their backs in aversion. 41:26: And those who disbelieve say: "Do not listen to this Qur’an and make noise therein, that you may gain the upper hand." 12:3: We narrate unto thee the most beautiful of stories by Our revealing to thee this Qur’an. Before this, thou too were certainly among those who did not know.

18:54: We have explained in detail in this Qur’an, for the benefit of humankind, every kind of similitude. But humankind is, in most things, contentious. 27:76: Certainly, this Qur’an doth explain to the children of Israel most of what they differ in. 34:31‑33: The disbelievers say: "By no means will we believe in this Qur’an, nor in (any) that (came) before it." Couldst thou but see when the unjust (disbelievers) will be made to stand before their Lord, bandying words one with another.
