  • 2. Amaliah Surah Al-Kahf Playlist - Recitation II

    39:14||Season 5, Ep. 2
    Asalamualaikum and welcome to the Amaliah Surah Kahf playlist. Here you will find a series of recitations by Muslim women from around the world in an attempt to document, archive and celebrate the legacy of Muslim women reciting. We also hope this playlist encourages you to read and recite Surah Kahf on Fridays as the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that “Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday will have a light between this Friday and the next”The Quran has 7 different dialectical styles, and this series reflects some of them.Our second reciter is Farah Elbakkali from Morocco. Farah has participated in many national and international Qur’ran competitions, including the Mohammed VI competition for the Memorisation and Recitation of the Holy Qur’an where she was awarded first place. You may notice that Farah’s recitation style is different to the last recitation we featured in the playlist. This is because Farah is reciting in the Warsh style, a method of recitation which is more common to countries in North Africa.Thank you to all of those who submitted to our open call and to Ustada Rumaysa for her guidance during this project.
