[And when the QurÌān is recited] listen to it, that is, to God and do not listen except [to something] from Him, and pay heed, [turning your attention] away from the insinuations of the soul or otherwise, for the One who is speaking through it [the QurÌān] is God, so that you might find mercy, by the mercy of the self-disclosure of the Speaker in His speech through His attributes and His acts.
