*One should honor and revere the people of Qur'an and not harm them.
Mannerisms One Should Uphold Upon
Reciting the Qur'an *One should be sincere when reciting it. Abu Hurairah, () said that he heard the Messenger of Allah () say:
'The first person to be judged on the Day of Resurrection is one who was martyred. He will be brought forth and the grace of Allah upon him will be made known to him, and it will be said: 'What did you do with the grace of Allah?' He will answer: 'I fought in Your path until I was martyred.' It will be said: 'You have told a lie! You fought so that it would be said that you were brave, and it was said.' He will then be dragged on his face and tossed into the Fire. One who learned knowledge and taught it and read the Qur'an will be brought forth. The grace of Allah upon him will be made known to him and it will be said: 'What did you do with the grace of Allah?' He will answer: 'I learned knowledge and taught it, and recited the Qur'an for Your sake.' It will be said you have told a lie! You indeed learned and recited so that it would be said that you were a scholar and an excellent recitor, and it was said! He will then be dragged on his face and tossed into the Fire.'(Muslim)
*One should apply the commandments of the Qur'an. It is narrated in the Hadeeth, which mentions the dream of the Prophet ():
"…it was said: 'go ahead, go ahead!' so we went ahead and passed by a man who was lying on his back, another was standing by his head with a boulder. He crushed his head with it and after he did this, the boulder rolled away and when he finally got hold of it and retuned, the man's head returned as it was, uncrushed. The man would once more crush his head. I asked what is this! The two angels (who were accompanying me) said: 'go ahead, go ahead!' (afterwards they gave the explanation saying): 'As for the one whom you saw his head being crushed, he is a man whom Allah gave the knowledge of the Qur'an and he did not recite it during the night, nor did he apply its commandments during the day, and this will be his punishment until the establishment of the Final Hour!' (Bukhari)
