So we advise the questioner to pay attention to this matter and to fear Allah and remember that He is always watching; he should do his prayer at a measured pace, and not rush. Similarly, his recitation should be slow and careful, and not rushed; rather he should recite clearly, pondering and thinking about (what he is reciting), and try to benefit from it. We ask Allah to help and guide us all. End quote.
I find it difficult to follow along for slow recitations (Mishary, Abdul Baset (Basit)?) but when I listen to my cousin recite (he speaks faster and at a constant pace) I am able to discern each word. I want clarity in the voice when I listen and constant speed.
Reading the Quran at a faster pace forces your brain to be more alert, making it easier for you to focus on the content of the text rather than getting distracted or bogged down by unnecessary details.
Another way to read the Quran faster is to use mind-mapping techniques. Mental mapping involves creating an image in your mind of a sequence or network of ideas and concepts you are reading. This helps to link disparate parts of the verses to understand them more deeply.

Assalam o alaikum dear scholars. What is ruling about performing taraweeh very fast in a way that recitation could not be understood/heard clearly. Is this way of performing taraweeh acceptable to Allah. Jazakallah
If the speed of the recitation leads to mispronunciation, omitting some letters or substituting some letters with others, the reciter bears a sin for that because he has not recited the Quran properly as it was revealed. However, if he recites the Faatihah chapter properly and no letter or a Shaddah (germination or consonant doubling) is omitted, his prayer is valid.
If the reciter is reading the Quran fast but pronounces and articulates each letter properly according to the rules of proper pronunciation, his recitation is valid; however, his act contradicts that which is better and religiously superior to do. It is better to recite the Quran slowly as it helps the reciter to understand and ponder over its meanings. Allah, The Exalted, says (what means): ... And recite the Quran with measured recitation. [Quran 73:4]

Ramadan is the month where many of us will strive to put in our best efforts to be close to Allah s.w.t, mainly by fasting. Indeed, every form of worship which is valued highly in the sight of Allah s.w.t. will come with a set of tests and challenges.
For ladies especially, this fasting month will bring with it its own set of challenges. One of the main challenges perceived by many ladies is the inability to fast and recite the Quran due to menstruation (haid) or post-natal bleeding (nifas).
As the true meaning of fasting is more than just merely abstaining from food and drinks, it is more pertinent for us to control our Nafs (desire) from committing sins in this blessed month, be it big or small. For example, restraining our tongues from sins such as backbiting, lying, cursing, giving sarcastic remarks and chatting incessantly. Make a plan and busy ourselves with lots of 'Ibadah and good deeds such that we become too occupied to commit sins.
Lastly, one does not need to go to the extent of eating medication to suppress the menses from coming in its due time so that one can fully fast during this month. It is still permissible to do so in Islam after one has sought advice from the medical professionals and is sure that it will not cause harm to the self. But we all know that it is something natural which Allah s.w.t. has created in us ladies. It is best that we let nature run its course as we can still continue doing other ibadah besides fasting. Just remember to make up the days we miss fasting once we are able to do so after Ramadan!
Ramadan (Arabic: رَمَضَان, romanized: Ramaḍān [ra.ma.dˤaːn];[a] also spelled Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramadhan or Ramathan) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar,[9] observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community.[10] A commemoration of Muhammad's first revelation,[11] the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam[12] and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.[13][14]
Fasting from dawn to sunset is fard (obligatory) for all adult Muslims who are not acutely or chronically ill, travelling, elderly, breastfeeding, diabetic, or menstruating.[15] The predawn meal is referred to as suhur, and the nightly feast that breaks the fast is called iftar.[16][17] Although fatwas have been issued declaring that Muslims who live in regions with a midnight sun or polar night should follow the timetable of Mecca,[18] it is common practice to follow the timetable of the closest country in which night can be distinguished from day.[19][20][21]
The spiritual rewards (thawab) of fasting are believed to be multiplied during Ramadan.[22]Accordingly, during the hours of fasting Muslims refrain not only from food and drink, but also tobacco products, sexual relations, and sinful behavior,[23][24] devoting themselves instead to salat (prayer) and study of the Quran.[25][26]
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the standard to distinguish between right and wrong. So whoever is present this month, let them fast. But whoever is ill or on a journey, then let them fast an equal number of days after Ramaḍân. Allah intends ease for you, not hardship, so that you may complete the prescribed period and proclaim the greatness of Allah for guiding you, and perhaps you will be grateful.
Muslims hold that all scripture was revealed during Ramadan, the scrolls of Abraham, Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and Quran having been handed down on the first, sixth, twelfth, thirteenth (in some sources, eighteenth)[42] and twenty-fourth Ramadans,[year needed] respectively.[43][self-published source] Muhammed is said to have received his first quranic revelation on Laylat al-Qadr, one of five odd-numbered nights that fall during the last ten days of Ramadan.[44]
Although Muslims were first commanded to fast in the second year of Hijra (624 CE),[43] they believe that the practice of fasting is not in fact an innovation of monotheism[45] but rather has always been necessary for believers to attain taqwa (the fear of God).[46][Quran 2:183] They point to the fact that the pre-Islamic pagans of Mecca fasted on the tenth day of Muharram to expiate sin and avoid drought.[47][self-published source] Philip Jenkins argues that the observance of Ramadan fasting grew out of "the strict Lenten discipline of the Syrian Churches," a postulation corroborated by other scholars, including theologian Paul-Gordon Chandler,[48][49] but disputed by some Muslim academics.[50]
According to Al-Bukhari, Muhmmad initially chose the date of the fast as the day of Ashura (the 10th day of the 1st month), probably the Jewish Yom Kippur.[51] This fast was later replaced with the fast of the 9th month (Ramadan).[52]
The holiday of Eid al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر), which marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Shawwal,[59] the next lunar month, is declared after a crescent new moon has been sighted or after completion of thirty days of fasting if no sighting of the moon is possible. Eid celebrates the return to a more natural disposition (fitra) of eating, drinking, and marital intimacy.[60]
Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and heightened devotion and worship. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam. The fast (sawm) begins at dawn and ends at sunset. In addition to abstaining from eating and drinking during this time, Muslims abstain from sexual relations[3] and sinful speech and behaviour during Ramadan fasting or month. The act of fasting is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the soul by freeing it from harmful impurities. Muslims believe that Ramadan teaches them to practice self-discipline, self-control,[65] sacrifice, and empathy for those who are less fortunate, thus encouraging actions of generosity and compulsory charity (zakat).[66] Muslims also believe fasting helps instill compassion for the food-insecure poor.
Exemptions from fasting include those traveling, menstruating, severely ill, pregnant, or breastfeeding. However, Muslims in these categories may still choose to fast, in order to satisfy their spiritual needs, even though it is not recommended by hadith.[61] Those unable to fast are obligated to make up the missed days later.[67]
At sunset, families break the fast with the iftar, traditionally opening the meal by eating dates to commemorate Muhammad's practice of breaking the fast with three dates.[70][71] They then adjourn for Maghrib, the fourth of the five required daily prayers, after which the main meal is served.[72]
