KNOW that when you listen to the Qur’an, you can listen to each melody of it, which possesses different stages on different veils according to the different levels of its guidance, by wearing a style of dress appropriate to the ranks conforming to the degrees that are coloured with the feelings of the means that carry it to you from Jabrâil ‘alayhissalâm to the person from whom you listen. For example, by passing through the person from whom you listen in your assembly, you can listen to it from the Prophet (asm), who recites it at the lofty summit of nubuwwah in the assembly of the earth to his fellow men, the sons of Âdam, and the others (Jinn, malâikah and rûh beings). You can also listen to it from Jabrâil while He recites it to the Prophet (asm) on the highest horizon (Ufq al-‘alâ). You can also listen to it from azalî Mutakallim behind seventy thousand veils while He speaks to the Prophet at Qab Qawsayn.

Thus, wear and listen to each level’s stages worthy of themselves if you are able to do so!
