This Qur’an being “ Kitaa-bullah ” (the book of Allah), must be
approached unlike any other book.
It is sad that we Muslims sometimes do not even know that there
are ADAB concerning how we are to approach the Qur’an. Thus the lack
of these adab only obstruct us from its benefits.
We are to be aware of the value of the Qur’an.

Some merely regard the mere verbalising from the Qur’an as
enough but does not go further into making efforts to understanding
the message and implementing it. Allah admonishes us:
