Dear AlQuran.cloud Team,
Peace be upon you.
I am writing to report several critical audio errors discovered in the 64kbps version of Sheikh Muhammad Siddiq Al-Minshawi's Mujawwad recitation currently hosted on your platform (specifically editions: ar.minshawimujawwad and ar.minshawimujawwad-2).
Please note that these errors are only present in the 64kbps version. The 128kbps editions (ar.minshawi and ar.minshawi-2) have been verified as correct.
A video documenting these specific audio errors can be found here for your reference: https://youtu.be/dveu8DRo5Rk
Below is a detailed, formatted breakdown of the discrepancies found in the 64kbps files:
- Surah An-Nisa, Ayah 8
Verse:
وَإِذَا حَضَرَ ٱلْقِسْمَةَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَٰكِينُ فَٱرْزُقُوهُم مِّنْهُ وَقُولُوا۟ لَهُمْ قَوْلًۭا مَّعْرُوفًۭا ٨
Error (64kbps): The word "أُو۟لُوا۟" is incorrectly pronounced as "أُو۟لِي" (read with Kasra instead of the written Damma).
128kbps: Correct ✅
- Surah An-Nisa, Ayah 89
Verse:
وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُوا۟ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَآءًۭ ۖ فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ حَتَّىٰ يُهَاجِرُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَخُذُوهُمْ وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ وَلِيًّۭا وَلَا نَصِيرًا٨٩
Error (64kbps): The word "سَوَآءًۭ" is incorrectly pronounced as "سَوَآءۭ". The reciter/audio misses the Madd Al-Iwad on the Hamza (which requires substituting the Tanween Fatha with a two-beat Alif Madd when stopping).
128kbps: Correct ✅
- Surah Al-A'raf, Ayah 63
Verse:
أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَآءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍۢ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُوا۟ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ٦٣
Error (64kbps):
The word "رَجُلٍۢ" is incorrectly pronounced as "رَجُلٌۢ" (read with Damma instead of the written Kasra).
Missing Audio: The entire phrase "ذِكْرٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ" is skipped/missing from the audio track.
128kbps: Correct ✅
- Surah Al-A'raf, Ayah 163
Verse:
وَسْـَٔلْهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًۭا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ١٦٣
Error (64kbps): Missing Audio: The phrase "إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ" is entirely skipped/missing from the audio track.
128kbps: Correct ✅
- Surah Al-A'raf, Ayah 203
Verse:
وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِم بِـَٔايَةٍۢ قَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا ٱجْتَبَيْتَهَا ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ مِن رَّبِّى ۚ هَٰذَا بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ٢٠٣
Error (64kbps): The word "وَرَحْمَةٌۭ" is incorrectly pronounced as "وَرَحْمَةًۭ" (read with Fatha instead of the written Damma).
128kbps: Correct ✅
- Surah Al-Mu'minun, Ayah 44
Verse:
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةًۭ رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًۭا وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًۭا لِّقَوْمٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ٤٤
Error (64kbps): The word "تَتْرَا ۖ" is incorrectly pronounced as "تَتْرًا ۖ" (read with Tanween Fatha on the Ra'). This specific pronunciation belongs to the Qira'at of Ibn Kathir and Abu Amr, not the Hafs 'an Asim recitation style that this Mushaf is designated for.
128kbps: Correct ✅
- Surah An-Naml, Ayah 70
Verse:
وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِى ضَيْقٍۢ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ٧٠
Error (64kbps): The word "تَكُن" is incorrectly pronounced as "تَكُ" (the letter Noon is erroneously dropped/hidden).
128kbps: Correct ✅
Given that AlQuran.cloud is a primary source for many developers and applications worldwide, I kindly request that your technical team review these specific tracks and replace the faulty 64kbps audio files with the correct recitations, matching the accuracy of your 128kbps files.
Thank you for your continuous efforts and dedication to serving the Holy Quran.
Best regards.
