Conversation (Mukkhāṭiba) with the Word of Allah, the Main Pillar of Tartīl Recitation

The sīra of the Infallibles (A.S.) implies that the Qur’ān has been perpetually present in their life, to the extent that they have always viewed themselves as addressed by the Qur’ān and in some cases, when engaged in recitation, they have stated as “conversation with the Word of Allah” a phrase emphasizing the gist of the speech or in response to the question raised in the verse or as obedience to the Divine command as expressed in that verse. Recitation in such conditions is one of the basic pillars of tartīl recitation in the sīra of the Infallibles. While extracting such propositions and as their typology, this research tries to achieve a comprehensive and well-documented pattern in the sīra of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) and the Infallible Imams (A.S.) in dealing with the Qur’ān and to explain the main and true tartīl recitation.
