🕌 57. Reciting in Slow, Rhythmic Tones (Tarteel) and Making One’s Voice Beautiful when Reciting
Beautifying the recitation of the Quran has a positive impact on the heart of the listeners.
Allaah (ﷻ) says:
“وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا”
“… and recite the Qur’aan (aloud) in a slow, (pleasant tone and) style.”
[Al-Muzzammil 73:4].
When the reciter recites beautifully and slowly, the listener is able to follow letter by letter, word by word and even learn recitation through such eloquent recitation.
It was reported:
”The recitation of the Prophet (ﷺ) was clear, with each letter pronounced distinctly.”
[Musnad Ahmad, 6/294, with a saheeh isnaad. Sifat al-Salaah, p. 105].
”The Prophet (ﷺ) would recite a soorah in such slow rhythmic tones that it would be longer than would seem possible.”
[Reported by Muslim, no. 733].
Having seen the reaction of many non-Muslims when they listen to the recitation of the Qur’aan for the first time, we can tell the profound amazement reflected on their face that goes deep into their souls. The astonishment was not because of any disappointment felt after listening, but because of the beautiful recitation credited to the reciter’s fine voice.
This is to the Prophet (ﷺ) as when he said:
“Beautify the Qur’aan with your voices, for a fine voice increases the Qur’aan in beauty.”
[Reported by al-Haakim, 1/575; Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 3581].
Beautifying it with one’s voice does not mean elongating the vowels and giving it a tune in the manner of corrupt people. It means beautifying one’s voice with the fear of Allaah (ﷻ).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Truly, the one who has one of the finest voices among the people for reciting the Qur’aan is the one whom you think fears Allaah when you hear him recite.”
[Reported by Ibn Maajah, 1/1339; Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 2202].
