So! The other day I was Oovoo-ing with Shafa.. for almost 6 hours *gasppp!!* Imagine when we meet again (soon, In syaa Allah), it’ll definitely be chaotic! 🙂

Anyways, we talked about so many topics and one of them was ‘Who do you listen to to memorise a surah?’ I tend to listen to Sudais (excuse me Aqilah, he’s not your uncle! No wonder my younger brother has this issue.), excuse me, Imam Sudais. I just love his husky and sharp voice. I first knew him a few years back when we had our monthly usrah sesh and Kak Yam mentioned how he recited Al-Haqqah – verse 33-35. It’s as if you can feel the punishment dawning upon yourself –astarghfirullahazim. It’s not in every video so I’ll kindly have the video before this post ends okies?

Then Shafa was telling me the list of Qari she listens to and send me a link of a Salman Al Utaybi (SAU).

Now.

When YouTube puts the title as Beautiful Recitation, I’ll go ‘Masyaa Allah! Beautiful. Ok, Now let’s get back to Imam Sudais’. It’s just … he’s the only one that I can listen to repetitiously. So when Shafa sent me the link to a Qari I’ve nevvaahh heard of, I knew that I would head back to Imam Sudais after watching once.

But ohhhh boyyyy… Was I wrong oh so wrong!

I’ve never heard such a beautiful recitation.

Urgh… Where’s that expression emoticon when you need em..

The point is! I was waiting for Maghrib and listening to SAU in my telekung all, cause you know, my telekung is just sooo comfy and after my Maghrib salaah, it was still on repeat but here I am all comfy again in my shirts and shorts and Godddd, I feel so vulgar dressing this way listening to Allah’s words.

I mean, I’m home alone which equates to dress code: Sesuka Hati (As I please), non?

Salman Al Utaybi. Makes you wanna skip Westlife. Seriously… Just try listening!

Imam Sudais – Al-Haqqah. Verse 25 onwards, his recitation tone is as if telling you the exact message Allah’s is trying to convey to us.

*Disclaimer: Now now. I try not to blog so much about this beautiful deen of mine because 1) Islam is perfect. Muslim is not. Ergo, I’m not perfect. 2) I’m not a person of knowledge when it comes to the deen. I’m barely trying His pleasure. 3) I need time to make sure that my nawaitu (intention) is not: Holier than thou, because that is just a wrong motive. Plus I don’t want people to think that I’m pious. 4) I’m afraid if any information is wrong.

But! This is my platform to share anything I want to plus, Prophet Muhammad salallahu’alaihiwassalam said, ‘Convey from me, even if it be only a single verse’. Well, I’m not conveying any message. Just merely a beautiful recitation which I hope you’ll enjoy.

Afterall, we should love one another what we love for ourselves right?

Anything good comes from Him, anything otherwise comes from me.
