وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَلُحُونَ أَهْلِ الْعِشْقِ وَلُحُونَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابَيْنِ warns against turning Qur’anic recitation into an imitation of certain songlike styles. لُحُون refers to modes of vocal delivery; the passage should not be turned into disrespect toward entire languages or religious communities.

Correction should focus on articulation, lengths, pauses, and accurate performance. Mocking someone’s voice, culture, or background does not serve that goal.

When unsure of one’s own recitation, consulting a trained teacher or reciter is the responsible next step.
