The Sounds of the Qur’an

Like many holy texts, the Quran was spoken before it was written. In fact, the Quran literally means “the recitation,” and it’s perhaps best experienced exactly that way — as a recitation in a poetic and often musical Arabic. Because of this, the Quran tends to be difficult to fully experience as a non-Arabic speaker, as so much of the text is about sound and performance.
