How to Recite the Qur'an in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his final question: When praying, does the Muslim recite with his heart or with his tongue, or with both his heart and tongue while moving his lips? Is it the same in supplication?

Answer:
The Sunnah is to recite with both the heart and the tongue, being mindful of what one is reciting in the heart. One recites with the tongue while the heart is present, benefiting, reflecting, and understanding, as He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon itsكِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ
[Surah Sad: 29], and He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an?أَفَلا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ
[Surah Muhammad: 24]. So the Sunnah for the believer is to recite and move his tongue in recitation so that he hears the recitation, accompanied by reflection, understanding, and benefit. Yes. We seek help from Allah.

The presenter: Allah is the Helper. May Allah reward you with good.
