Surah al-Ala

August 4, 2008

Peace, one and all…

Ever since I first became a Muslim, I have loved listening to the recitation of Surah al-Ala (the 87th chapter of the Quran: see the Resources page for text links).  So, with this in mind, here are two different recitations.  Enjoy…

Recitation 1 (Mishary Rashid al-Efasi)

Recitation 2 (Salaah Bukhatir)

    Salaams Dawud,

    Jazak Allah for the link. I shall indeed check it out, insha Allah

    Salaams Redwan,

    It is indeed a beautiful surah, in terms of recitation and meaning. There are many reasons why I love this particular surah, not least of which is the fact that the Prophet himself (alaihi al-salatu wa al-salam) loved it.

    Jazak Alla for the links. I have listened to both renditions and they are indeed beautiful

    Allah!

    Walaikum Assalam (from your other comments) I love this surah–in pronounciation, meaning and literary style. I once explicated it for a high school class and we took up the whole class period just going over one verse! It is an amazing surah and I actually memorized it from hearing the Imam at Jummah reading it over the years and I think it is beautiful. It just proves that not only is Islam a religion of depth, it is a religion of beauty.

    Jazak’ Allah for sharing!
