English

With nothing ticked, the translation follows the site language and shows every approved translator.

Recitation

Murattal is measured and even; mujawwad is slower and more elaborate. Neither is a better recording of the other — they are different recitations.

Transliteration

Transliteration is a reading aid, not a pronunciation guide. No writing system outside Arabic can represent Quranic pronunciation exactly, and reciting from it will not be accurate. Learn from a qualified teacher and from recitation.
