Etiquettes of Reciting the Noble Qur'an

Question:
And may He bless you. Honorable Shaykh, is this one of the rulings of recitation when we say "Truthful is the Mighty Allah" after reading the Qur'an?

Answer:
It has no basis. Adhering to this has no basis. Among the etiquettes of recitation is seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. So when you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. Among the etiquettes of recitation is saying "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate" at the beginning of the surahs, except for Surat al-Baqarah, because it was not revealed before it. Among the etiquettes of recitation is reflection and humility. Reflect on the Qur'an when you recite it or hear it, contemplating its meanings. Also, among the etiquettes of reciting the Qur'an is making du'a' at the verses of mercy where mercy is mentioned, and seeking refuge at the verses where punishment is mentioned; you seek refuge in Allah from His punishment. These are the etiquettes of recitation. It is also recommended to be in a state of purity from minor ritual impurity, whereas for major ritual impurity, recitation is not permissible except after taking a full ritual bath. Yes.
