If its a problem i can remove it. But just incase you arent the guy who wanna read this type of stuff. And just wanna listen to it while doing other things. Then here it is. I am almost done with Sahih Bukhari atleast.
Also want feedback if you think my voice is too unclear? I aint the most clearest speaker like David Attenborough. But want to know your view on it?
Not Muslim, eh? I think you speak like trump--every word trump utters is a lie.

Ah... not sure if thats a good thing
But no, i aint a Abrahamic follower. Main reason why i wanted to make audiobooks of this is, to avoid misinformation by media, politicians etc. So that if one wants to criticize, or remove doubts of misinformation. Then this is the simplest way i thought of doing it. Incase someone want to know what is actually in those texts

What difference does it make what is in those texts? They, like the bible, are simply fiction. All 'scriptures' fall into that category--fictional, fairy tale stuff.
Depends if your promoting bat shit crazy or criticizing it.
US Constitution - old fictional document
Laws of Justinian - basis of statutory law in Europe and elsewhere ... old fictional document
English common law records - basis of common law in English speaking countries ... old fictional document
Basically, anything anyone wrote, yesterday, is BS. Because I am "woke" ... bwahaha.

Translated, that means you think you are so very cleaver, so cunning, and so smart that you will get the dumb atheists to listen to the 'true' word and be convinced. Allah works in mysterious ways, eh??

I found this Arabic un-native, though not too bad. Lacking in vocal clarity and dramatic enthusiasm. So as a recording, I can only give this a "C". Muslims put supreme importance in the "sound" of things! Keep practicing ;-)
I have studied Islam, including Quran in Quranic Arabic + MSA & also studied Egyptian Arabic. So I might know a thing or two. Followed all the recent non-chauvinist, non-sectarian studies about the origins of Islam. Basically, while I don't think Muhammad is who people say he is, or perhaps who he thought he was (or what his first wife thought he was) .. I do think he was the "real thing" ... just not the only or final "real thing".
I recommend the Quran over the Hadith etc ... and recommend this particular English edition ... because of its excellent broad commentary

Though that doesn't compare to the merit of studying the Quranic language in the original or listening to meritorious recitative. Will have to maybe listen to some tonight ;-)
http://tanzil.net/#1:2 .... I like the vocal art of Al-Afasy. My ears see sand dunes and Lawrence of Arabia ;-)) Awesome!
I absolutely agree with Muslims, that there is a miracle in this sound. Just not the only miracle (I have taught Biblical Hebrew, read the Psalms in the original language). With Ugraritic & Babylonian as Bronze Age Semitic languages, Hebrew & Aramaic as Early Iron Age Semitic languages, and Arabic & Ethiopic as Latter Iron Age Semitic languages, Arabic the greatest Semitic of all.
How about the Aramaic "Our Father" ... one can see the relationship ;-)

... my ears see angels in Heaven ;-)) Sublime!
But there is the only ancient language revived from the dead ...

... my ears see the longing of G-d for humanity ;-)) Divine!
The ultra-violence, hate, and ignorance prevalent in "The Holy Land" is absolute proof that religion is shit. The big draws of cheating death, thinking you are special/chosen, having a purpose dictated to you and of course the social group benefits (with constant reinforcement that is required for the illusion.) What's not to like? Doesn't really matter that it is bronze age bullshit because it is a open check from a bank that does not exist.
This is why atheism is so damn sexy. It is all about courage and inner strength PLUS the intellectual ability to sift the truth from the onslaught of nonsense. There is a dignity unique to atheism. Islam is the opposite of all things I care about.
I would add ... atheism can be very individualist, and many people, mostly in the West, align with that ethos. Yes, if G-d were peace (and this isn't clear even in the NT) then G-d has clearly failed.
That Aramaic young woman (a community oppressed for millennia and still are today) and the little children at the candle lighting ceremony, such violence!
A report of the death of a Sumerian prince, to his father, 2400 BCE ... Why did this tablet survive? Maybe it was precious to this father!

Officers today have to write letters of condolence to the parents of their men who die in combat. Been done for over 4,400 years!

May the god Enki be justified! Yet Jericho is older than Uruk, and we have no names for their gods. Millenia before the first Semite.
Muslims can no more uproot the Jews than a tree can pull itself up out of the ground by its own roots.
Kibla sounds like some variation of qiblah, the direction of Kaaba where muslims turn when they pray. So I guess it is safe to say he/she is a muslim, possibly born in 92?

Materialists think that all order arises from pure randomness, so there is no such thing as a non-coincidence ;-)
