Vote For Your favourite Recitor! - Page 2

A. Mukhtar · 02-15-2005

Alhamdulillaah, all the Shaikhs that I know are very good reciters.

One or two individuals who know me personally would not doubt about who my favourite reciter is.

And here is a sample, which I hope you'll be able to hear.

http://quran.islamway.com/hosary/025.ram

It is worth distinguishing between 'Tajweed' and the 'pitch' or 'freshness' of the voice. If it comes to the 'sweetness' of the voice, one has to admit that Sudais is probably the one.

And everyone should have a reason for their favourite reciter. For me, it is the calmness and proper pronunciation of the letters without disguising too much with the voice, as well as reading with inner emotion. This is not my only opinion as many people recognise this.

Anyway, I am saying too much!! The question is 'Who is your favourite reciter', not why I suppose... But maybe we should include that to see different people's reasons...

Thank you for your patience and finally the name of the reciter is:

'Shaikh Mahmoud Khalil Al-Hosary'

**Ansar Al-'Adl** · 02-15-2005

Salaam,

I have many favourites. Sudais, Shuraim, Talib, Ajmy, Ghamdi, Efasi, they are all good.

I was going to mention Husary, but my dear brother A. Mukhtar beat me to it.

I have a gift for you Br. Mukhtar. The BEST place to listen to Hosari is not islamway but here:
http://www.ahlanbi.com/Quran/husary_downloads.htm

They download as ZIP files and they have a quality recitation that I have never heard on any other site. Listen to Al_Furqan, it is very beautiful.

So, I am now going to present my top two favourite recitors.....

**Ansar Al-'Adl** · 02-15-2005

Muhammad Ayoub! (Masjid Al-Haram recitation)

Sample

**Ansar Al-'Adl** · 02-15-2005

and........

Adullah Matrood!

Sample

**Ansar Al-'Adl** · 02-15-2005

Reasons I like recitors:
Sudais - expressive of the meaning of the verses
Shuraim - deep smooth
Husary - Crystal clear and strong
Matrood - moving, emotional yet steady and flowing
Ayoub - hmm hard to describe, very active recitation

Riaz · 02-15-2005

Masha'Allah he is very good. Does anyone have more info on him? What does he look like?

A. Mukhtar · 02-16-2005

Ansar Al-'Adl, you've provided very good reasons.

"Sudais - expressive of the meaning of the verses
Shuraim - deep smooth
Husary - Crystal clear and strong
Matrood - moving, emotional yet steady and flowing
Ayoub - hmm hard to describe, very active recitation"

For Shaikh Mahmoud Al-Hosary, "clear and strong", that's probably the description I lacked. And another one is for Sudais "expressive of the meaning of verses". Very true. When listening to Sudais, without even understanding the arabic meaning, you can feel the atmosphere through the 'intonation'... raising and dropping of the voices.

I had completely forgotten Al-Matrood; he is a good reciter. I remember my sister had his cassettes.

And thanks for the new website Ansar Al-'Adl.

Riaz, he's also blew me away. He has a truly beautiful voice. I turned it off when I could no longer keep still on my chair!!

salams
Yes brother Ansar i do have a little bit more information which i would like to inform you.
He use to read in Masjid Nabwi for afew years but he has stopped reading in the last 2 or 3 years due to some reason.
Also when my dad went Haj 3 years ago he mentioned that he made salam with him and that he was very young and had a small beard.
But unfortunatly when i went umrah last year he wasn't there however i got to make salam with Huzayfi,Abdul Muhsen Al-Qasem,Thobaity, salah ul budair, sheikh SALEH, Sheikh Usama Khayat and Sheikh Sudais.
If anybody is going umrah and would like to know how to make salam to the imams please ask me .
