With the Noble Qur’an
The beauty of this book ‘With the Noble Qur’ān’ is in the author’s comprehensive compilation of Qur’ānic verses, prophetic ḥadīths, and opinions of the traditional scholars on some of the main discussions surrounding the Qur’ān. In ten chapters, he effectively covers the superiority of the Qur’ān, the etiquette, rewards, and virtues of listening, reciting, and memorising it, the correct method of recitation, the ruling of using melody and of crying out of the fear of Allāh, and the warning against forgetting the Qur’ān, along with a satisfying discussion on its seven variant readings.
It is difficult to emphasise how inspirational and valuable this book is for a lover of the Qur’an, a hafiz, and for anyone to whom we may want to explain the greatness of the Qur’an.
Editorial Reviews
“[Shaykh Husary is] an excellent reciter who fears Allāh in his recitation and adheres to the methodology of our pious predecessors in reciting the Book of Allāh Most High, never deviating from it. His recitation fills the hearts with tranquillity, peace, and calmness, and opens the gates of guidance and true faith for his audience.”
Shaykh Maḥmūd Shaltūt
(Late Imām of Al-Azhar)
