We must approach the Quran with adab.
Adab is proper manners. It is a praiseworthy way of approaching something. Why is adab important? Because we have been commanded by Allah to act in a certain way -- obligation, sunnah and recommended. Adab expresses our submitting to the high command and seeking Allah's pleasure. Adab signifies our attitude of seeking Allah and our awe of Allah's Majesty and yearning for Allah's beauty. Adab are means of expressing our striving towards Allah.
One of the adabs with the Quran is in the amount of reading. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam gave us guidelines. Try to finish reading the Quran monthly and better than that twice a month and better than that weekly and better than that every three days. These are levels. He also called us to always strive to recite the Quran as well as to have tadabbur (reflection of the Quran). There is quantity and quality.
May Allah make us of those who read and reflect on the Quran daily. Aameen.
