وَ اِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْاٰنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ وَ اَنْصِتُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ(۲۰۴)(سورۃ الاعراف)
Translation
And when the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and remain silent so that you may receive mercy. (204) (Asan Tarjuma-tul-Quran)
Meaning: This verse has shown that when the Holy Quran is being recited, care should be taken to listen to it. However, it is also necessary for the reciter not to recite in a loud voice in such places where people are occupied with their work. In such a situation, if people do not pay attention to the recitation, the sin for it will be upon the reciter. (Asan Tarjuma-tul-Quran)
