Surah Luqman Ayat 7 Tafsir (Commentry)

10. Every Quranic issue should be heard with a great deal of fervour and enthusiasm. To engage oneself in worldly activities at the time of its recitation is showing indifference to it, which is the practice of the infidels.

You should also remember that listening attentively to the recitation of the Holy QURAN is FARD E KIFAYA. Where people are helpless to listen to its recitation, they are engaged in business activities, the QURAN should not be recited aloud there. It should be remembered that the rules and regulations of the recitation of the QURAN are different to those for the instruction of it.
