Etiquette of Quran Recitation
The person reciting the Holy Qur’an should sit for recitation in a state of complete purity, with clean clothes, perfumed, having used the miswak, calm, humble, and modest.
He should be mindful of the greatness of Allah Almighty, reflect deeply on the meanings of the Qur’an, and be emotionally affected by its verses and rulings. As Allah says:
“The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith, and upon their Lord they rely.” [Al-Anfal: 2]
The Qur’an reciter should also exemplify good manners, dignity, and respect.
He should recite the Qur’an in a measured and melodious manner (with tarteel and tajweed), giving each letter its due right and characteristics—such as correct pronunciation, articulation points, elongations (madd), nasalizations (ghunnah), and other rules of tajweed—hoping for Allah’s acceptance of his recitation and seeking His Paradise and pleasure.

"مَن كانتِ الدُّنيا هَمهُ ، فَرَّقَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمرَهُ ، وجعل فقره بين عينيه ، ولم يأتِه من الدنيا إلا ما ستار و كتب له
"Whoever makes the world (this life) his concern, Allah will scatter his affairs, place poverty before his eyes, and he will not obtain from the world except what has been decreed for him.
ومن كانت الآخرة نيته ، جمعَ اللهُ لَهُ لَهُ ن جمع أمرَهُ ، وجعلَ غِناه في قلبه ، وأنتهُ الدُّنيا وَهِيَ راغمة"
But whoever makes the Hereafter his intention, Allah will gather his affairs, place richness in his heart, and the world will come to him submissively.”
- صحيح ابن ماجه

What's meant for you will always find its way to you.
وَعَسَى أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَى أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Life is too precious to waste on sadness over what's beyond your control.
آمن بقضاء الله وقدره
and you'll find peace and happiness.

Who are the People of the Qur'an and its Bearers?
Among the sayings that gladden the heart of a believer is the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying:
"Indeed, Allah has His own people among mankind."
They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who are they?"
He replied: "They are the people of the Qur’an — the people of Allah and His chosen ones."
So, who are the people of Allah and His special ones?
His saying: (Ahlīn)— meaning "people"— refers to family or close associates. The "people" in this context are the allies and beloved ones.
Thus, the people of the Qur'an are those uniquely attached to it.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said, in the context of discussing whether it's better to recite the Qur’an slowly with reflection or quickly with more quantity:
"Therefore, the people of the Qur’an are those who have knowledge of it and act upon what it contains, even if they do not memorize it by heart. As for the one who memorizes it but does not understand or act upon it, then he is not from its people — even if he perfectly recites its letters like an arrow hitting its mark."

«الرابحُ من أفنى عمره مع القرآن؛ طالبًا وتاليًا ومُعلِّمًا».
"The true winner is the one who spends their life with the Qur'an — as a seeker, a reciter, and a teacher."
ما عذَّبَ الرحمـٰنُ مَن يستغفرُ
The Most Merciful does not torment the one who seeks forgiveness
ولسانُـه بالذكرِ مِسْـكٌ أطهَـرُ
And whose tongue, with the remembrance, is purer than musk
فاستغفروا إنَّ الذنوبَ مُمِيتَـةٌ
So seek forgiveness—for sins are deadly (to the heart)
والآيُ ذكرى للذي يستبصُـرُ
And the verses are a reminder for the one who seeks insight

وكانوا يتواصون في الشدائد.
And they used to encourage one another during hardships.
إنما هي أيام قلائل، والموعد الجنة.
Indeed, it is only a few short days — and the promised meeting is in Paradise.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ،
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ،
أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِندَكَ،
أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي،
اللَّهُمَّ ذَكِّرْنِي مِنْهُ مَا نَسِيتُ، وَعَلِّمْنِي مِنْهُ مَا جَهِلْتُ، وَارْزُقْنِي تِلَاوَتَهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ، وَاجْعَلْهُ لِي حُجَّةً يَا رَبَّ العَالَمِينَ.
English Translation:
O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is ever executed, and Your decree over me is just.
I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have named Yourself with, revealed in Your Book, taught to any of Your creation, or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness, and the reliever of my distress.
O Allah, remind me of what I have forgotten from it, teach me from it what I am ignorant of, grant me its recitation during the hours of the night and the ends of the day, and make it an argument in my favour, O Lord of the Worlds.

“If you are pleased, you are pleased — and Allah’s command will still come to pass. And if you are displeased, you are tested/afflicted — and Allah’s command will still come to pass.”
"A person should recognize the honor of his time and the value of his moments, and should not waste even a single instant on anything other than drawing nearer to Allah. He should prioritize the best, then the next best, in both speech and action.
His intention for goodness should remain constant, without fatigue, even if his body is unable to carry it out—just as the hadith says:
'The intention of the believer is better than his action.'"
— Ibn al-Jawzi
Ṣayd al-Khāṭir, p. 63

Sahl ibn ‘Abdullah al-Tustari said to one of his students:
“Do you memorize the Qur’an?”
The student replied, “No.”
He (Sahl) said: “Alas! A believer who does not memorize the Qur’an!
Then with what does he recite(in devotion)?
With what does he find delight?
With what does he privately converse with his Lord?”
- Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’, 10/343
