For Quran Recitation there are nine rules that are known as Tajweed rules. Out of these nine rules, the second rule tells about the physical state of a Quran Reciter, while the last seven rules are about its pronunciation and grammar. We focus on the first rule of Tajweed which is about the reciter’s manner and attitude. Some attributes need to be developed by the Quran reciters according to the first rule.
Out of all the rules, the first and most important one is that the reciter of Quran must have this belief in his mind that Quran is not the word of man; in fact, it is the speech of Allah. This speech of Allah is in the Arabic language. One point is clear that Quran is only in Arabic, it cannot be found in any other language. This also means that we can only pray in Arabic language. Although the translation of Quran might be found in English, French, Swahili and Urdu, but we cannot prey in these languages. The Original text of Allah is in Arabic language and anything else can be termed as the translation of the Quran.
The second important point that needs to keep in mind is that the reader of Quran must be free and clear of all thoughts prevailing in his mind before reading the Quran. The reader must completely focus on the words, their meanings and on it implications. In addition, the reciter must be of humble nature and he should keep in mind that every message of Quran is for himself.
