In short, the recital does not only consist in uttering the words with the tongue, but it should involve thoughtful consideration of the meaning. If it enjoins something or forbids something, one may understand what has been enjoined and what has been forbidden. If it mentions His wrath and His punishment, the heart may be overwhelmed by fear of Him. If it expresses His mercy, the heart may be filled with feelings of gratitude to Him. if it contains the mention of Allah’s Being and Attributes, it may awe-inspire the heart with His glory and majesty.

This is an explanation of the duration of time commanded to be spent in worship. (73:4) or add to it a little and recite the Qur’an slowly and distinctly.
