  1. Assalamu alaikum brother mishary.I live in Canada.I dont know how many people in canada are listening and memorizing your morning evening duas.We spread so many CDs. May they become sadaqa e jariyah for you.We are some mothers who learned Quraan and Hadith of RasulAllah SAW and now to spread the authentic knowledge of Quran in new generation we are struggling.I dont know why but since we were talking about a little school I thought we might try to find your contact info .We know that we cant even afford its rent.We are already renting a canadian public schools four rooms for which we pay which is more than the fee that we collect and little goes to the teachers.Its a struggle but since we see unorganized bida, based islamic education we want to bring children to the true lovely religion of Islam.We are in toronto.We pray to Allah swt to send us help .A little school waqf for the understanding of Quraan.InshaAllah Allah swt will fulfill our dream and send help somehow.Wa man yattaqillaha yaj al lahu makhrajawn wa yarzuqhu min haisu laa yahtasib.

  2. Beloved brother in Islam shaikh Mishary bin Rashid al afasy
    ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO ALMIGHTY ALLAH
    Alhamdulillah, for choosing you as one the best Qaaries of the era. We all are blessed and pleased to hear your recitation which is very very spiritually uplifting. We also wish to state that the humble voice and rythm of your recitation makes it very easy to memorize and also understand the meaning of the noble Qur'an even to a non-arab who is learning arabic language. We pray to Almighty Allah to give you the ability and strength to keep up the humble attitude throughout till your last breadth, Aamin.
    May Allah (Swt) shower his blessings, Rahmah and Ni'mah on you and your parents and family and on all of us who are following your heartfelt recitation. I and my wife love it very much and I am sure it must be coinciding with the beautiful recitations of Rasoolullah (SAW) himself and the sahabas Allah knows best. May Almighty Allah 'will' to raise all of us up together in the Akhirah with such melodious recitations. Aamin. Please include us in your du'as. JazakAllah khairan..

  3. Your smile is beautiful.
    So I am going to make you laugh.
    In my country, there is an old lady,
    She always listens to old songs (Rafi, Mahmood, and Lata) or sometimes to qawal.
    In every song there are some phrases that touch the heart.
    In the morning, she switches on her radio and listens to Al Yaseen, Al Dhukhan, Al Jinn, and Al Fatah, each day without forgetting.
    But since almost one year, 24 hours a day, her radio plays only your Quran recitation. One can only hear your voice.
    When I asked her, she told me that you are a person who has pleased even the angels, that the angels recite the Quran together with you.
    She is thankful to the prophets for their devotion to Allah, to the angels who sent the Quran to earth, to the friends of the prophets and their families who gathered the pages of the Quran, to the Egyptian Governor who added consonants to the words in the Quran to enable people to read it fluently, and she is thankful to you as well for your Quran recital.

I've heard and have seen your recitation in youtube. suddenly I was crying as you were crying during the recitation. it was because of your recitation and the translation provided made me feel so scared by all mistake i've done through my life. I realise how good to be born as moslim, we have learn about Islam since we were small but we sometime just careless & forgot our duty as khalifa in this world. listening to Quran is one way to make us nearer to Allah. I hope all nonmuslim will realise that Islam is the only true religion if they see, hear and understand the Quran verse and it's meaning. InsyaAllah.. My Allah bless us..

  15. As-Salaam-u-Alaikum, Wa Rafmatul-lahi Wa Bharakatu-i-lahi, Masha-allah. I cannot describe what your reading of the quran, especially surah 46-47-48-49-50, in each of these there is a sipara which is the most melodious soothing appeal that reach the soul. You don't cry, but you make people cry tears of happiness. Allah gave you a beautiful talent, that when you read the quran, one appreciates it and wants to keep hearing it. I ask Allah to keep you healthy, to keep you safe, to watch you and that you always succeed in making people happy, and that you always stay smiling. May Allah bless you and your parents, to have a son like you.

  16. Salam u alaikum,
    It is no doubt that the voice of sheikh al mishari is one of the most exceptional ones in the world. I hope to see sheikh al afasy as the imam of AL HARAM AL MAKKI within some years inshALLAH. I wish that I also recite the holy quran the way you do it. YOUR voice renders the heart of each and every muslim and compels the person to weep .
    I pray that you have a very long life and you keep on reciting the holy quran in even much better voice than what you are doing right now... I salute you, may ALLAH ALMIGHTY shower his blessings on you and your family.
    ALLAH AFIK BI SAHATA WAL AMANA.
