The Recommendation of Beautifying the Voice in Reciting the Qur'an and Enhancing the Recitation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is it understood from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari's statement to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "If I had known that you were listening to me, I would have adorned it for you with adornment," that it is permissible to beautify one's voice when one knows that others are listening, or is that a form of showing off in worship?

Answer:
It has an effect on others. You are rewarded for this. If beautifying your voice has an effect on others and causes them to be humble, then you are rewarded for this, because this is a reminder of the verses of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
