Commentary
a. No one should complete the whole of Qur'ân in less than three days. b. The main purpose of reciting the Qur'ân is to ponder over it and try to comprehend it. That is why it is imperative to understand the meaning of Qur'ân in the language that one understands. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid exegeses that interpret the Qur'ân in ways different from those of our pious predecessors.
