This has upset me :(

[Snowflake]

:sl: I'm feeling so miserable :cry: I was memorising surah al-Kahf as al-Shatri recites it but I heard we are not allowed to copy reciters and should have our own style? I agree as a beginner I can make mistakes but what about when I'm fluent? I feel so sad as even though it wasn't my own style I did recite it and feel it from my heart and I could've stopped until I was correct in my tajweed. But I was told it's wrong regardless. I feel devastated imsad Did I misunderstand or is it really true?

:wa:

[IbnAbdulHakim]

im sure the person who told you that only did so in order to encourage you to learn it with correct tajweed.


most recitations i learn are ibrahim al jibreel style... and i ALWAYS check my tajweed with the Quran and a teacher.

so its all good inshAllah

Assalamu Alaikum

[Muhaba]

No that is not true. At the masjid where I learn, there are many ppl who memorize and recite in the style of the qari they listen to & no one has told them that. I personally love to recite in Abdul Basit style but also want my own style. I think you get ur own style after you memorize?

[Rasema]

:sl:

I would get frusturated about different accents.

In my country we are thaught DH to be a Z. Sometimes I even listen to the naitive recitors and they sound different!

It still frusturates me.

But,MashAllah, they all sound great. Yasir Al Dosary is my favorite.

who is the person who told you this?

[Eric H]

Greetings and peace be with you Scents of Jannah;

I am so sorry to hear you are being troubled, but just a thought.

Ok there are a billion Muslims, just that huge number means you must be virtually the same as thousands if not millions of others. Some things we just have to accept and try our best, and if you feel it from your heart, then where is Allah, if he is not in your heart.

In the spirit of praying for an inner peace that surpasses all understanding

[Danah]

That strange!!
Who is the person that told you that? What is his/her proof ?

[Snowflake]

:sl: I had no idea my post had been approved and had been waiting for a PM lol. Thank you immensely for your replies everyone. Alhumdulillah, they have really soothed my heart.:statisfie I don't want to say who told me because they did it with the best intention and obviously also had been told wrong, or it could be me who might have misunderstood them. Anyway, I'm just so happy now lol so no worries. Jazakumullah Khayrun all. :)

Hi Eric,

It's not that I need to recite in that particular style to feel God in my heart. Praise be to Him, I am aware of Him even when I'm nowhere near the Quran. It's just that, the recital of Abu Bakr a-Shatri in Surah al-Kahf is one of the most amazing I've heard in my life and that is exactly how I want to memorize it. InshaAllah.

If you listen to it, you'll see what I mean :)

I have listened to a couple of Surah, although I cannot unhderstand them, they have a beauty.:sunny:

Hi Eric,

Praise be to Allah, for His mercy and blessings, and thank you words and for listening and enjoying al-Quran. You can listen with translation too. :) I don't understand arabic either but my soul understands it lol :statisfie

a tad too sensitive/emotional? , you gotta toughen up aunty and juhany is a good recitor by the way

Lol goway! I don't want to toughen up. No amount of emotion is enough when it comes to my beloved Quran *sniffs* One day I'll be a hafidha and I'll recite it for my future-spouse every single day inshaAllah. *goes emotional again* I can't wait to be a hafidha :cry:Please make dua for me inshaAllah.

P.S. I'll listen to juhany but have you heard al-Shatri's recital of Surah Kahf? :?

:wa:

[Cabdullahi]

inshallah you'll be a robust hafidha if you put in work and you toughen up ameen

i'll listen to sh, shatri

I use Sheikh Shatri for aiding my memorisation. I play the CD in the car. Alhamdulillah ifind his recitation very clear and my daughter absolutely loves his style. she even copies him. its cute mashAllah.

I had too heard that copying some other recitors style is not good. However, I feel that how are we supposed to learn and its a natural process to learn by copying. surely tajweed is much more important and as another poster said, once you beocome more fluent and confident you will develop your own style inshAllah.

:wa:

That is ADORABLE! And YOU are adorable sis, :wub:

May Allaah help fulfil your dream and make it easy for you, Aameen,

P.s it's ok to be emotional!

[Silver Pearl]

Allaahu'3llam whether you're allowed to listen to a reciter and imitate their voice but in Qur'aan class the teacher would always drill into our heads to listen to one and read as he reads. That is how one learns tajweed...

May Allaah make hifdhul Qur'aan easy for you and make you amongst those who safe guard its hukm and hikm, Aameen.

[Snowflake]

:sl: lol wow you all are sooo kind mashaAllah.. made my tears come out again lol :X

Abdullahi, I listened, and although every recitation is beautiful for what it contains and I love all those who love the Book of Allah and beautify their voices for it but as for al-Kahf, I find Shatri's style more soothing than Juhainy's. :shade:


Sis Rabi'ya, I loved your post for obvious reasons lol :statisfie. Your daughter sounds so cute mashaAllah. May Allah make you both hafidhas, and raise your ranks to the highest Paradise reciting al-Quran. Ameen

Pk lol thank you sis. May Allah love you and bless you with a better hubby than you could ever dream of. Ameen!!!

JazakiAllah and ameen for your beautiful duaa sis Pearl. May Allah bless you with the same and more than that inshaAllah. Ameen *sniffs* lol


Not forgetting the kindness of those who repped me words of comfort and their duaas. May Allah bestow His Kindness and Mercy on you, ameen, and may the Word of Allah reside in our hearts and on our tongues and raise us reciting it to His Paradise in the Here-After. Ameen. :cry:

^ Oh! An even more of a reason to listen to the soothing recital of al-Shatri now! lol :D

[Al-Hanbali]

There's nothing wrong in trying to copy a particular recitors style/tune/rhythm; however you shouldn't copy their voice. Use your own voice, with whicever style you like. Obviously, take care of tajweed.

[Rabi'ya]

:sl:

May Allah realise your dream of becoming hafidha inshAllah....ameen

Please remember me in ur duaas please. I really wanna become hafidha too even if it takes me many years!!!

:wa:

[Rabi'ya]

:sl:

I am mostly learning alone, but try to go to classes once a week. There is an open sisters class near me and the teacher will listen and give tajweed lessons too. so she checks my pronounciation etc. it will take me a long long time and I have MANY other commitments too but alhamdulillah I remain committed to this as well :)

[Snowflake]

:sl: MashaAllah sis. I love your enthusiasm. :)

If you're on Paltalk, there are tajweed classes there you can join. Let me know if you're interested inshaAllah.

:wa: and goodnite ukhti. I'm having an early night inshaAllah x

Peace.

You could always try a operatic style like Dame Kiri Te Kanawa :)

(which brings another question, why aren't there males doing Nasheed in baratone or tenor, maybe even counter tenor :) )

[Khaldun]

:sl:

Try to vary the recitors you listen to, that way a new unique voice will emerge with time, a voice that is a blend between them all!

When you first start learning the Quran, I would recommend you listen to Khalil Hussary or Abdul Baasit. Many of the recitors today [specially the saudi ones] have only been recorded during taraweeh prayers, and mistakes do happen. That Ghunnah might have been about unclear, or perhaps that particular madd was to short etc, but recitors that are recorded in a studio [like shaykh Huthayfi] recite infront of a panel of proffesional recitors who tell him its ok to carry on and if not he has to keep repeating the verse until its up to standard. Just my two cents [or pence i should say]

[Salahudeen]

what do you mean styles?? :S I don't understand that. for example when we say aslaam alaykum we all say it the samy way just the tone of our voice differs due to accents from person to person. Or if we say Hello we all say hello the same just our accent sounds different.

Is this what is meant by styles?? using your own accent when reading the Qur'an? :S there's only 1 way to pronounce a word how can you use your own style :S

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Khaldun thats appreciated. jazakAllah khair

anyone else whos checked by a panel of huffadh? :)

[Snowflake]

:sl: Khaldun, you're right bro, Abdul-baasit's recitations www.quranexplorer.com are great to follow and practice tajweed with for beginners. I'd recommend them strongly to anyone who's learning. Hussary is another one Ive heard is good, but I've yet to listen to him. JazakAllahu khayr.

what do you mean styles??

I mean a recital of Surah al-Fatiha for example will sound different by two different reciters, despite the tajweed being the same. We call it tarz in urdu. You might know what I mean if I say 'tune'. : )

:wa:

[Muslimlearner]

Masha'Allah sisters,I don't even dream to memorise Qur'an imsad

For ERIC:
