Quranic recitation refers to the vocal reading of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. This practice is not just about reading the text; it involves specific rules of pronunciation and intonation known as Tajweed. Reciting the Quran is considered an act of worship and is often performed during prayers and special occasions. The art of Quranic recitation has a rich tradition, with various styles and schools of recitation. Many Muslims memorize verses of the Quran, and some even become Hafiz, individuals who have memorized the entire text. Recitation is also a means of spiritual reflection and connection to God.
