I recommend Br Sa'd Al-Ghamidi and Br Mishary Rashed al-Efasy. Have not listened to the rest so InshaAllah share with us your favourite recitors.

Wassalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah.

[Abu Ayesha]

Among some of the not to often mentioned ones are Ramadan al -Sageh (i love his Surah Burooj) and then the recitation of Juz Amma of Muhammad al Shareef.

[Houda*]

The ones u mentioned are two of my favourites. There is also Ibrahim Al-Jibreen, masha'Allah he's also in my top 10.

Here's one of his recitations : http://quran.islamway.com/jibreen/088.mp3

Muhammad Jibreel and Abu Bakr Ash-Shatari.

[Khaled]

Br Mishary Rashed al-Efasy

[Abu Ayesha]

Some Qaris recite particular surahs so beautifully that it touches the heart...
I love Mishari Rashid's Surah Yusuf and Mu'minoon.

Also Salaah Bukhaatir is awesome. Masha Allaah I love him when he leads the Taraweeyah.

[Khaled]

Abu Ayesha, where is he from? I know nothing of him but his voice MashaAllah.

[Abu Ayesha]

Salaah Bukhaatir is from Saudi. Allahu alam.

However, he comes to Sharjah, UAE for Ramadan and it was last year I visited the masjid where he led the Taraweeyah.

[Ebu Abdirrahiym]

alhamdulillah i also love the recitations of the above mentioned qaris as well; sa'd al-ghamidi (listen to suratul isra among others) al-afasy (suratu taha among others), al-ajami (suratul-haqqa among others). If you're in the middle-east, the satellite arabsat 2b (30.5 Deg East) broadcasts quran recitation 24/7 on the al-majd holy quran channel; highly recommended.

however, i wanted to point it one area of concern, and that is to do with the primary purpose of the revelation:

Allah (s.w.t) mentions in His book which means:

14:1 Alif Lam Ra, a Book which We have revealed unto thee, in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light - by the leave of their Lord - to the Way of (Him) the Exalted in power, worthy of all praise!-

"minaz-zulumaatu ilannur"

the qur'an has many uses, listening to it is highly soothing, and there is shifa in it and it is used for other reasons as well; however it was revealed to be implemented so that we may see the light after being blinded in darkness, let's not digress from the main purpose of the revelation. This advice isn't directed at anybody in general, it is a reminder more so for myself than for anybody else.

Allahu (s.w.t) alone knows best.

[Khaled]

Jazakallahu Khair brother for the reminder. For me, Alhamdulillah instead of playing music on my computer or in my car, I put on some Quran recitation. This is very soothing Alhamdulillah and prevents me listening to the haram. But of course, as you mentioned, the Quran has been given to us for an even greater purpose.

Also, hearing the recitation of the Quran helps me memoris Surahs. I find that reading and listening at the same time can be of great benefit InshaAllah. When I am feeling upset, I listen/read the Quran and Alhamdulillah immediately forget the troubles of the world. SubhanAllah, it is truely a Miracle this Quran.

[Ebu Abdirrahiym]

let me point out one other thing inshaAllah, again this is general advice which i'm in need of more than anybody else; continuing on from my previous post

"minaz-zulumaatu ilannur"

note the arabic used and the hikma of Allah (s.w.t);

a literal translation would be:

from the darknesses (plural) to the light (singular).

I think this is pretty self explanatory but if one needed to expand on it, then it should be clear that there is more than one darkness, more than one road that will lead us to al-jahannam, but there is only one light, the guidance of Allah (s.w.t), siratal-mustaqeem, one straight road, the road tread by rasulullah (s.a.w) and his companions.

We really ought to sit down and study the quran and understand it's message. Sometimes i think we've gotten our priorities wrong, we tend to place more emphasis on different sciences of islam (also very important, please don't misunderstand) but we don't take the time out to study the main source of Islam, kelaamullah, al-quran al-kareem. Again, i'm in need of this advice more than anybody else.

[Abu Ayesha]

however, i wanted to point it one area of concern, and that is to do with the primary purpose of the revelation:

"minaz-zulumaatu ilannur"

...let's not digress from the main purpose of the revelation. This advice isn't directed at anybody in general, it is a reminder more so for myself than for anybody else.

Allahu (s.w.t) alone knows best.

Subhan Allaah this is what was exaclty on my mind, but i decided this is not the place to discuss it and you mentioned it alhamdulillah.

This is infact in one of Bilal Philips'speeches, where he said that the Qari too have become like pop star where one mentioned, hey you heard him and then another goes up and then.... He said to concentrate more on the message than the recitor. Masha Allaah.

Yes, I know i am guily of having my favourite qaris and loving them for their recitation but true that it helps me memorize the surahs, other wise not knowing Arabic can seriously distract us from the continous listening..

[Shadower]

I love Abu Hajr Al-Iraqi recitation, I think Islamway only has one recitation by him. Surat al-Imran, I also have Al-Anfal, and used to have At-Towba.

[Houda*]

Among some of the not to often mentioned ones are Ramadan al -Sageh (i love his Surah Burooj) and then the recitation of Juz Amma of Muhammad al Shareef.

Where can I get Muhammed Al-Shareef's recitation from?

[Abu Layla]

My Favourite recitors in order would be Ibraheem al Jibreen and then Abu Bakr As-Shaatri... the ones of al Jibreen on islamway aren't the best quality i have a site that has 5 or so of his recitations in 100% perfect quality if anybody wants it

[Houda*]

I want it!
