The Qur'an thread

[UmmSqueakster 54]

SubhanAllah (glory be to God), with the ever expanding power of the internet, the availability of quran related resources is exploding. Hardly a day goes by that I don't stumble upon another little gem spinning out there in cyberspace.

So, if you come across quran related material, translations, recitation, etc, please post it here. I'm especially interested in favorite recitors. I've been trying to listen to a new person each day.

Hehe.. funny that you mention the Qu'ran with Spanish translation.. I have a friend from Los Angeles and he saw a muslim woman.. on the phone.. he wasn't paying attention to her.. but then he listened a little more closely and she was speaking spanish!!

On of our favorite recitors is Saad El-Ghamdy. My parents gave Abderrafie the full CD set for his birthday but it can be listened to online here Holy Quran Library

It's not an internet source, but if you get any of the Dish Network's Arabic packs, you get Zikr radio -- a satellite tv station that plays Quran recitations (no visuals).

Thank you for these links...A good one that I have found (for a beginner) is a podcast on Itunes. You can download Itunes for free and get the podcasts for free, and then put them on your MP3 player. Each week they release a Sura, but they started in the winter so they have a lot published. Each Ayah (I think that is what they are called) is read in Arabic and then translated in English. If you go to podcasts and type in "Quran Weekly" you can find it.

The children reciting Al-Fatiha together (about 0:43 in) are so precious here

[UmmSqueakster 54]

Those kids are adorable mashaAllah. I really needed this bumped today. *sooth thyself my soul*

Now, I've emailed this site and asked if they have permission to post these cds. inshaAllah when I get a reply, I'll let ya'll know. I really really really hope that they have permission because many of the recordings and lectures on this site are excellent. I believe the articles are salafi in orientation, or at least non-madhabi, just in the interest of full disclosure. I'm sticking to the Qur'an page and the lectures of Shaykh Anwar Al-Awlaki.

Even if you can find stuff free on the internet, if you benefit from it, consider purchasing something from the same lecturer/quran reciter. These brothers and sisters are working for the sake of Allah (swt), but they also need to put food on the table. If everyone gets their work for free, they won't have the resources to continue to produce such excellent materials.

I went to the link you provided and I said to my husband "look at this site" and instant message him the link (even though he is sitting right next to me) and the first thing he notices is the machine gun in the upper right corner which I totally missed

Assalaamu alaikum,

Please be careful of this site ya ukhti. I am not sure about it. They don't have an 'about us' button to check who they are but under their 'manhaj' section they have a link for 'salafiyyah jihadiyyah' and this is not a manhaj. I'm afraid this may be an extremist group misunderstanding and misrepresenting as-salafiyyah, Allahu 'alim.

Online Qur'an player - http://www.mosquepraiseallah.com/quranaudio.html

You can listen to the whole Quran with english translation. It scrolls right from one surah to the next, which is nice I believe the translation is Pickthall, which I like. The other popular english translation audio does cheesey booming effects that take away from the words and the meaning.

[UmmSqueakster 54]

Quranic Realm - has several translation that you can chose to show side by side. Again, just to state my personal preference, I am not a fan of the Muhsin Khan translation. The Sahih translation is similar, but I like that one because it removes the tafsir (commentary) from the actual verse and simply focuses on God's words themselves.
