The diffrence between reciting the quran and tadabbur the quran.

In music, in playing the piano, sometimes you are playing at a thing and sometimes you are playing in it. When you are playing at it you crescendo and diminish, following all the signs. "Now it is time to get louder," you read on the score. And so you make it louder and louder. "Look out! Here is a pianissimo!" So you dutifully do that. But this is intellectual and external.

Only when you are playing in a thing do people listen and hear you and are moved. It is because you are moved, because a queer and wonderful experience has taken place and the music-Mozart or Bach or whatever it is-suddenly is yourself, your voice and your eloquence. The passionate and wonderful questions in the music are your questions in the music are your questions. And with all the nobility and violence and wonderful sweetness of Beethoven, say, it is you talking to those listens.

Can you relate when you recite the quran?
