However, if the conversation is for no need, it is better to avoid it to achieve contemplation and understanding in the recitation, in compliance with the words of Allah Almighty: “This is a Book which We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may take admonition.” (Surat Sad/29).
