والمَقْصُودُ مِنَ القِراءَةِ التَّدَبُّرُ، ولِذَلِكَ سُنَّ فِيهِ التَّرْتِيلُ لِأنَّ التَّرْتِيلَ فِي الظّاهِرِ لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ التَّدَبُّرِ بِالباطِنِ The real purpose of recitation is reflection (tadabbur). For this reason, tartil (reciting slowly, properly, in a measured way) is mandated: because reciting with tartil externally allows proper reflection internally. -Ghazālī, Ihya ʿulūm al-dīn, Kitāb ādāb tilāwat al-Qurʾān
