Quote:
{75:16} Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Quran.

{75:17} Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

{75:18} So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

{75:19} Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

I suggest,
{75:16} Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it.
{75:17} Verily, upon Us is its collection and its precise reading.
{75:18} So, when We read it [to you, through Gabriel], follow its reading.
{75:19} Then upon Us is its clarification.

For the sake of consistency, "its precise reading" and "its reading" should be reconciled into one translation since the Arabic word used is identical.

Makes sense.

Just occurred to me that a possible alternative to "precise reading" would be "articulation."
