Primary text
Beautifying the Quran with one's voice means making it sound good without affectation or forced effort. It is reported that the best reciters are those whose recitation evokes a sense of awe and fear of Allah (khashyah) in the listener. Furthermore, it is narrated that the Quran was revealed with sadness, and thus it should be recited with a demeanor reflecting sorrow or solemnity.
