There are a few additional obligations regarding the recitation of the Quraan which you should keep in mind.
Daily Reading:
Read the Quraan every day; in fact do not consider a day complete without it. It is better to read regularly, even if it be a small portion, than to read large sections, but only occasionally.
Memorize:
Memorize as much of the Quraan as you can. You can start with small surahs and short passages, and then move on to longer portions.
Recite the Quraan in Prayer:
Read as much of the Quraan in prayers as you can, specially during the night, after the ‘Isha', before the Fajr and in the Fajr, as nothing is more effective in making you attuned to the
Quraan and ensuring you absorb it than reading it in the night or in the morning.
Melodious Voice:
Read the Quraan in a good voice, as we have been told: "Beautify the Quraan with your voices: but also remember that 'the one whose voice reflects the fear of Allah is the one who reads the
Quraan well."
Read with Concentration and Understanding:
Do not read hastily without proper concentration and understanding. The Prophet (peace be upon him told Ibn 'Umar not to finish reading the
Quraan in less than a week, and also said that one who finished it in less than three days did not understand any of it. One companion said that he preferred to read a short surah like al-qare'ah with proper understanding than to hastily finish long ones like al-BAQARAH and Ale-'Imran.
