May Allah blessed and protect you inshallah, beautiful quran, Alfa Abdullah, Brisbane, Australia
Salaam sister Husna,
I recently found your lessons on Surah Mulk after my local Ustadh showed me the Tajweed rules worksheets on the Love For Quran website. I explored the website and stumbled on to the kid's page. As I teach young children from the Iqra' books I was interested to see if you had any content that would interest them. However, instead of clicking the right age range I clicked your name as it said that you were 16 years old and that is close to my age (19). SubhanAllah, I am so amazed at your Quran recitation and the melodious tune that you have when reciting.
Not doubt, He is a best Qari of the world. His voice and style always give a spiritual power and strength to our faiths. I have listened many more recitations of him and have got inspiration and understanding of Quran verses after listening his recitations. MashALLAH he has a great pitch of tone, style and voice. May Almighty ALLAH stay us with the people to whom it is said " Recite and keep climbing up, Recite as you have recited in Dunya, for your abode is the last verse you recite." Ameen
MAy Allah raise his grades in the heavens and rest his soul in peace.ameen
Perhaps the best Qari of all times. His voice and his memory will live in this Ummah forever Insha-Allah. We ask Allah Azzawajal to reward Him best for all his efforts and forgive his shortcomings. The question is, did anyone ever say enough to his recitation?, We listen and listen again, Again and again, the taste and beauty never ends. May Allah rise us and him among the Huffaz and the people of Quran, to whom it will be said, Recite and keep climbing up, Recite as you have recited in Dunya, for your abode is the last verse you recite.
Shekh Abdulbasit Abdusomed,The most beautiful reciter of our generation.I remembered my early childhood when I was first attracted like a magnet by his magnificent voices.It was very difficult for me to pause his recitations.His variable pitches still is surprise for me.And he is among the well known reciters in Habesha(Ethiopia) and loved by many junior reciters as an exemplary.Unfortunately no one knows his profile.I am sad to know he is not alive.May Allah reward his jennah.
I downloaded his recitation with tens of reciters but I love listening to his recitation more than any other. Anytime I listen to his recitation tears run my checks. His voice is so melodious a day hardly pass without me listening to him. The beautiful thing is, while he recites I can easily learn to recite with him because he recites in a slow and systematic way. This sheik was gifted; may Allah grant him and all of us Janna
May his blessed soul be in Jannatul firdaws. He is one person whose recitation I can't stay without listening to. Not a day will pass me without listening to his recitation. He is my role model in quranic recitation. I love no more than him. I sincerely love him for the sake of Allah. May Allah make us meet in Jannatul Firdaws, Aniin.
