The External Manners of the one who Recites the Koran
These are ten:
The condition of the one who recites: He should be in a pure state, standing in a
respectful and serene way, he may stand or sit, turning towards the Qibla with his
head slightly inclined. He should not sit cross legged, nor reclining, nor in a
haughty manner.
The portion, which should be read: The reciters have different habits in the
amount they recite, some recite more than others, among them are those who
complete the Koran in one day and night, and others who recite twice a day,
some recite three times a day, and some take one month to complete the Koran.
The method of dividing the Koran into parts: The one who completes the Koran
