Example; woman without her man is nothing (two completely opposite meanings) The meaning is up for interpretation men are reciting the texts and therefore we are more likely to get the first interpretation. Used to have people who could read and they would read out loud. 2. (egyptian reciter) rhythmic, sorrowful (huzn) being in awe and pleading. 4. (live recitation to a crowd by canadian) microphone made it more mystic, introspective (echo), spaced out (pauses) 5. (group presentation from algeria) chant/incantation, rhythmic, faster. 1-4 are what we hear in more of a formal prayer. 5 meant to be a participant in the text (not just to be heard) 7. (canadian) boy band, catchy, instrumentation, intended for kids because it is a song ends in amen (it is a prayer where the others were a recitation) (quran legal verses out of 6600 about 500 verses roughly 7% that is almost exclusively located in the medinan text)
