A few simple rules are followed by Muslims in regard to the Quran:
- We have to be ‘clean’ when we
touch the Quran. Generally by clean (as in 56:79 above) means that one should not be in need of ‘Ghusl’ or complete washing of the body (e.g. after having sex or a menstruating woman, etc.). It may be preferable to be in a state of ablution (wadu) while reciting the Quran.
- When we start reading the
Quran we should remember this Ayat:
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ 16:98 When thou dost read the Qur'an, seek Allah's protection from Satan the rejected one.
- Thus at the start of Quran
recitation one should seek Allah’s protection against Satan by saying: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيم I seek God’s protection from Satan, the accursed.
- There are 14 locations in the
Quran where ‘Sajda’ or prostration should be performed. It is indicated in the Quran by a horizontal line placed over the word justifying the prostration and there is an exact prostration sign where one actually performs the prostration. There is also Sajda سَجْدَة written in the margin.
- Recitation of the Quran
should be done in due measure:
