  1. I used to listen to Minshawee when I was a young student in Cairo, Egypt. Almost 20 years later I came across his recitation again and I can still remember the first time I listened to him. May Allah bless his soul and forgive him his sins. He has touched many hearts by his sweet voice with qirah. I listen to him almost every night before I go to bed and I greatly appreciate those of you who maintain this website I the Qaris whose beautiful voices inspire hearts with the awe and fear of Allah.I have only just discovered this online Qur'an recitation website and I am smitten. I am highly appreciative of the choice of Qaris available along with photos and a brief biography of each one-really unique. May Allah reward profusely those who created this website and those who host and maintain it and, of course, the Qaris whose beautiful voices inspire hearts with the awe and fear of Allah.
