Quran recitation
Melodic scripture reading
Quran recitation is the practice of reading aloud from the Quran, Islam's holy text, following specific rules of pronunciation and melodic intonation called tajwid.
The recitation is always in Arabic, regardless of the reciter's native language, and ranges from simple chanting to elaborate musical performances.
Skilled reciters are highly respected in Muslim communities: We listened to Quran recitation during Ramadan.
