Quran is the book of Allah. It is consisted  of unaltered and direct words of Allah which was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) 1400 years ago . It is not like any other book in this world. As Quran is the word of Allah so one must follow a great deal of Etiquettes for Reciting the Holy Quran  to get the blessings of Allah Almighty.
