Listening to recitation and choosing a reciter

Recitation is available in all Qur'an mushafs (not in notebooks).

Play recitation

1. 1

   Open a mushaf and go to the page you want.

2. 2

   Tap the speaker button (Listen to recitation) in the header.

   Playback starts from the first verse on the page.

While audio is playing, the header shows Previous verse, Play/Pause, Next verse, Audio settings (the gear) and Close audio player.

Audio settings

Tap Audio settings (the gear, shown once audio has started) to open:

• —Reciter: choose from a list of reciters. The default is AbdulBaset AbdulSamad (Murattal). Others include Ahmad Al-Nufais, Maher Al-Muaiqly, Saad Al-Ghamdi, Yasser Ad-Dussary and Khalifah Al Tunaiji, plus many more. Your last choice is remembered on that device.
• —Speed: 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x or 2x.
• —Repeat: Off, Verse, Page or Surah. With Off, playback stops after the last verse on the page.
• —Verses on this page: tap a verse to play from it.

If you change the reciter while audio is playing, the current verse restarts in the new voice.

Good to know

• —Recitation streams online and needs an internet connection.
• —To start from a particular verse, start playback, open Audio settings, and tap the verse under Verses on this page.

Audio not playing?

• —Check your internet connection.
• —On iPhone/iPad, check the silent switch/volume and that no other app is holding the audio.
• —Close the audio player and tap the speaker again, or try another reciter.
• —If a browser blocks audio, click once on the page and try again.
• —Still stuck? Email salam@qurannotate.com with your device, app version and the reciter you chose.
