The Audio Quran (Full-Cast Edition)

A Cinematic Experience (in English)

De: Abdullah Yusuf Ali - translator

Narrado por: David Williamson, Paul Williams, Ali Gohar, Mohamed Sameh, full cast

“Enter the World of the Qur'an!”

Hear the Qur'an in English like never before! AudioIlm presents the first fully dramatized, full-cast audiobook of the holiest scripture of Islam in English.

The full Qur'an, brought to life with:

• 55 voice actors (cameo from YouTuber Paul Williams)
• 1000s of sound effects
• Custom immersive soundscapes for every location and setting (with reverb and sound design for accuracy!)
• Dolby Atmos 360° sound design (hear the voices and sounds all around you!)

The Qur'an, recited daily by over 2 billion Muslims, is the final revelation sent by God (Allah) to mankind, conveyed over 23 years to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the Angel Gabriel. It speaks directly in the first person as the verbatim word of God, addressing: the nature of God, mankind's responsibilities, and the afterlife. Additionally, it features the Islamic stories of Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Joseph and many other prophets!

This audiobook uses the Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation, one of the most enduring and widely read English renderings of the Qur'an, praised for its poetic fidelity and scholarly depth.

The best audio English Qur'an for kids and first-time listeners!

From Executive Producer, Narrator, and Director David Williamson

DISCLAIMER: This project was approved by a group of Islamic scholars who helped advise the Producer during the process to pay the proper reverence to the source material. The voices, voice effects, sound effects, etc. (especially representing the Hereafter) are NOT meant to be exact replicas or 'representations,' but merely a dramatic aid to help the listener understand the text better. None of the text was changed, with the exception of the removal of some speech attributives ("he said," "she said") to improve flow when the speaker is already established and clear. This is not a replacement for reading the Qur'an. See full legal ruling at theaudioquran.com.

An Amazing Listen - Highly Recommended 👏

Excellent attempt, overall; listening to it daily!

I don't think a fully cinematic, immersive, and dramatized narration of the Quran has ever been attempted like this (a way of presentation that GREATLY facilitates understanding and following the subtle narrative/voice shifts).

My only suggestion, perhaps for a follow-up rendition by the same voice artists (maybe with a little less dramatic stress/intonation for some emotive verses - a tad too Shakespearen, but that's just my reception of it!), would be to use 'The Clear Quran' for modern/conversational English explication (make it more accessible for a less-literary audience).

I'm looking forward to the day when all popular classical and modern English translations of the Holy Book are voiced/audio-treated like this 😄.

Stellar Listening Experience

Went in not knowing exactly what to expect, but came out having experienced something amazing. I can see this being incredibly useful for people who are unfamiliar with the religion, or Arabic and especially people with learning difficulties to fully comprehend transitions.

For myself, it actually made me reflect more deeply on the actual Quran about tertiary questions. The producer makes interpretive choices when representing for example the mood of statements, or more particularly when the Quran ascribes speech to groups of people. It made me think much more deeply about this phenomena (ascription to the group of a sentiment where in actuality it may well be describing a single member or leader voicing the statement, or in other cases where it may well be many voices in unison). It was not even something I’d ever pondered in the past!

All said, excellent contribution to the material available to bring the listener closer to the Quran!

A truly unique Audio Quran

This was a very engrossing listen. I loved that every character is voiced and sound effects are included throughout. I haven't fully listened to it but from what I have listened to so far I highly recommend it over other translations that only have a narrator. It isn't my favorite translation but the production outweighs the fact that it uses older English that normally isnt used today.

Goose Bump!

Ive been reciting and reading the translation and referencing to the scholar explanation. I never thought to listen to audio book until i came across this on X. WOW.. its so much inspiring and strengthening my understanting of the Quran. This audiobook format give another fantastic perspective. My whole family been listening in our carplay while travelling and we dont even noticed that we were off the map!
