LOOL no, just kidding, I'm not asking anyone which of them is better, both of them are amazing, masha Allah.

I just like to tell my experience and insha Allah we'll benefit from it:

Well when I was little I didnt like listening to the Qur'an much...... not my thing, you know, being young and all, toys, etc. ;)

But anyway, even when I TRIED to listen to it, or read the translation (Malay language), I was like :yawn:

But then later on when my bro came back to Malaysia, he gave me the PenMan (Digital Qur'an player). I immideately fell in love with it.

Why? Because:

1. Its a translation I've never read before (yusuf ali was boring to me).... it was Muhsin Khan's, I liked the simple language.....

2. I finally realize that Shuraim and Sudais aint reading this Qur'an by just making up the song of their recitation.... but their recitation actually reflected the meaning in the Qur'an....

I tried this with Yusuf Ali's, but it never really had a resemblance of their recitation. This was it. Muhsin Khan's was the best.


So after more later ons.....

I started to compare Shuraim and Sudais' recitation.

At first I was kinda "Bleh, Sudais' recitation is sooo boring"

Basically because I didnt REALLY compared properly, I was busy with memorizing Shuraim's recitation.... lol...

But then when I started listening to Sudais, I started to realize Sudais' way of recitation is better than Shuraim's, because Sudais' recitation reflected more to the meaning when I read it....

My fav parts is when Sudais gets all emotional and starts raising his voice (you know, at Day of Judgement parts, Death parts, Jahannam parts).

So right now what I'm trying to tell here is:

If you want your heart attached to the Qur'an, I suggest you listen to Sudais' recitation and Muhsin Khan's translation.

Salam. :D

There's no one better than Shuraym, khalas end of story! If you disagree with me, then you're completely wrong :D

[mr. buraq]

^ Thats because you probably didnt try my advice... :P

Come on, Sudais is like... AWESOME when he starts raising his voice and such....

He's better than MISHARI RASHID!!! :grin:

[Ekaskayusmi]

When it comes to learning tajweed, there is no qari better than Muhammad Al-Manshawi :grin:. Although Sudais and Shuraim are both equally mashallah :thumbup:, I say I have a more deeper connection with Sudais :). His voice is cool, calm, collected.

When it comes to qaris who nail your soft spot I give it up for Muhammad Al-Muhaysni :thumbup:. I just can't hold my tears when he begins to recite the Qur'an. Kushu3 to kushu3 :sob: Mashallah :thumbup:

I like this persons recitations... "Sheikh Mishary Rashed Alafasy"

[mr. buraq]

^ of course you do... he recites like an angel, lol.....

I'm just suggesting you peeps, and also advising (now) :

Dont judge a person by his recitation.

Go check out the Qur'an's meaning and then hear the recitation, see if their song matches the meaning...

As for Sudais, it really matches with the meaning....

And yeah, Mishari Rashid's recitation matches the meaning too, but I prefer Sudais because when the "Day of Judgement" parts Sudais' voice becomes angry but Mishari's voice becomes sad.

I hope I made sense. :unsure:

:D

I was listening to a pakistani recitor and his was pretty consistent, a fluent ryhtmic pattern all sounded the same, i prefered Mishary Rashids coz he emphasises certains words and has variation so its more "listenable" ;)

[mr. buraq]

^ stop making excuses. START LISTENING TO SUDAIS. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST. THIS IS AN ORDER.

Haha, cool, who's the pakistani recitor, could you give me the audio?

Jazak'Allah Khair.
