Reciting the Qur’an in reverse order (mankūsan) means reciting a Sūrah and then reciting a Sūrah that precedes it in the order of the Mus'haf. It may also refer to reversing the order of the verses. As for “taq‘īr,” it is the artificial pronunciation of letters, like the act of those who speak affectedly. The meaning of “yuqrūnahu” is to give him his hospitality and welcome.
