  1. Assalamualaikum, thank you for sharing these lovely recitations. Once, I heard sheikh Nabil Ar Rifai voice from local radio which broadcasting from masjid Jami Malang (Indonesia). I just enjoyed listening to it, sometimes waiting for it since it was aired routinely after Isya', before and after a popular tasawuf teachings by local Kyai (teacher/sheikh) around 20.00 local time. After Fitri 2016, the radio organizer seems to refresh the tune and switch to another reciter, though it also recite the same surah (al Maryam) and no less beautifully, I just miss Nabil voice. To me, Nabil able to bring an atmosfer in some portion of ayat. Since I am familiar in His recitation of surah al Maryam, perhaps other can try to listen it so you may know what I mean-or what I am trying to say. Holy Koran is a great gift from God to all mankind, it will always stunning and beautiful no matter who recite it but sometimes it just more lovely when it recited in descent-cool-soft kind of voices.

  2. asalam aleikum fellow muslims,
    May Allah bless this sheikh, he is blessed with a wonderful, soothing voice. I got sick with a mental illness two years ago and I used to listen to him recite the Quran, especially sura Tawbah, and it always made me feel so much better. The Quran is medicine, the disease is gone, even though the doctor said I will have it forever. Lets make the Quran one of the medicines we use in our daily life, it will never disappoint us.
