This is just a post featuring some of my favourite Qaris or Qur'an reciters with some chosen Surahs and a link to more by each reciter. You can find translation in various languages and transliteration here. Obviously this post is a subject to change. Now, just click on the read more link to see the list.Hadhrat Junayd al-Baghdadi (r.a.) said:
"All avenues to obtaining the pleasure of Allah (wusul) that were rationally possible, have been closed to the creation except following the Aathaar (narrations) of Rasulullah (Sallalahu alyhi wa Sallam). Without following Rasulullah no one can gain closeness (Qurb) of Allah and the one who claims to have done so, is a liar" (Madarij pg464 vol 1)
Hadhrat Zunnoon al- Misri (r.a.) said:
"The sign of Haq Ta'ala's love is that His Habib (most beloved - Sallalahu alyhi wa Sallam) be followed in manners and acts and in every order and practice." (Risaalat ul Qasheeriyah pg.9)
Hadhrat Abu Yazeed al-Bistaami (r.a.) said:
"For thirty years I made exertions (Mujahidaat - for the purification of self) but I found no exertion greater than that of gaining and acting upon Knowledge. And "Acting upon knowledge" (ittiba' ul 'ilm) is the name of acting upon only the Sunnah"
Ibn Abbas (radhiAllaahu 'anhumaa) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "There are not any days in which righteousdeeds done in them are more beloved to Allah than these days, i.e. the ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah)." They said, "O, Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the path of Allah?" He said, "Not even Jihad in the path of Allah Most High, except if a man goes out (for Jihad) with his self and his wealth, then he doesn't return with anything from that." [Bukhari]
Imam Ahmad narrated from Ibn 'Umar (radhiAllaahu 'anhumaa) that the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "There aren't any days greater, nor any days in which deeds done in them are more beloved to Allah Most High, than these ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah). So, increase saying Tahlil (Laailaaha illallaah), and Takbir (Allahuakkbar) and Tahmid (alhumdulillaah) in them."
Here goes another entry regarding the blessed month Ramadan, whose first 10 days are over by now. The time goes fast, I remember the previous Ramadan like it was yesterday and now this Ramadan's first 3rd is over, too. That should make us just more cautious how about we are spending our time. Allah alone knows if this is maybe the last Ramadan I'm witnessing or was even the last Iftar I ate today. But really important is that Allah accepts the days of Ramadan that I've passed through by fasting already and those that are still coming (make Dua for me).
