Approaching the Qur'an: The Early Revelations (1999)

Something a little different here.

These are some samples of recitations from the book of the same name, an excellent introduction to the early revelations from the Qur'an. They were included on a bonus CD that came with the book.

Not sure how many have heard recitations of the Qur'an but these recitations are, for Muslims, music to the ears. More traditional Muslims tend not to listen to "music" as it is generally recognized; instruments are, for the more staunch traditionalist, not allowed.

The only instrument in this case is the human voice and, according to this line of belief, the most pure "music" would be the recitation of the Qur'an. And, I must confess, they have a valid point.

I can listen to the Adhan ("Call to Prayer") without ever tiring of it...
