My YouTube Channel: A Good Intention- Quran Recitations
|
Sheikh Muhammad bin al-Uthaymeen -rahimahullah- said in his sharh of the first of the 40 hadith An-Nawwawiyyah (”innamal ‘amaallu bin-niyyat…”– all deeds are but by intention…):
“The worship of the heedless ones are habits and the habits of the people of awareness are worship”
When we eat, most of the time we do it for enjoyment and it being just a normal part of our day. However, if a person really takes heed and changes his intention he could get rewarded by Allah ‘az wa jal. So when you go to eat, eat because it will give you the energy you need to worship Allah — and that is what will give you good deeds.

I started my YouTube account a little over a year ago. I made the account so that I could comment on other people’s videos as well as use it to upload videos in the future.
This was around the time I had come across the very well known recitation of Sheikh Fahd Al-Kanderi of surat Al-Qiyyamah. It’s a recitation that made most of our eyes well with tears and shook (and still shakes) us to our very core. A couple of days later, I came across a set of eight Quran recitation videos someone had uploaded by the same sheikh. And I thought to myself, “These are GEMS. I need to upload them unto YouTube for everyone else to benefit from; And perhaps for every person who listens and watches these videos, Allah ‘az wa jal will reward me.”
That was my intention, and may Allah ‘az wa jal keep my intentions purely for His sake. Ameen. I uploaded the videos.
Alhamdulillah, I checked back recently and found that this one video I had uploaded over a year and a half ago has gotten over 450,000 views. Here is the video, I really love his recitations:
It is my hope that Allah ‘az wa jal will reward me — and I humble myself unto Him.
Anyway with that said, most of my YouTube channel is Quran recitations that I’ve uploaded. I go to certain Islamic forums in Arabic that post all sorts of recitations — so I find those videos and I upload them unto YouTube. I really love the khaliji style of recitation. Some of my favorite reciters are Mishary Rashid (of course), Maher Al-Muayqilly, Fahd AlKanderi, Majid al-’Anzi, Yasir Al-Filkawi, Muhammad Al-Luhaydaan, Salman bin al-’utaybi and Salah Al-Hashem.
So here are just a few of my videos and Insha’Allah I hope you contemplate and enjoy the recitations as much as I do:
Majid Al’Anzi: Surat Al-Hujurat
Fahd Al-Kanderi: Surat At-Tahreem
Yasir Al-Filkawi: From Surat Az-Zummar
Oh, and This Really Cute Baby “Khateeb” (not Quran):) :
Lessons:
Make your intentions purely for Allah’s sake and leave the rest for Allah — He will give you success. And continue to KEEP those intentions pure.
Take a break and contemplate the Quran. I’ve provided in the description section — with a lot of my videos — the translation of the verses for those who do not understand Arabic. Follow along. Find a Quran reciter that YOU enjoy listening to and follow along with your mushaf and contemplate.
A lot of us, including myself, spend a lot of time on the computer. Despite how busy we might be, we don’t even need to leave our desks to raise our own iman. Take time away from your busy life to remember Allah — find your special recitation today.
WAllahu ta’ala alem.

It would be really cool if you made a widget or something where you there would be a playlist of youtube quranic recitation videos. You could use Dizzler or soemthing from widgetbox, or google gadgets
Really glad you’re getting all of those video views.

Br. Usman, Ha… I think i’m the last person to know anything about making widgets. But I’m assuming there are tutorials or perhaps it’s not as hard as i make it out to be. It’s a good idea, and i’ll definitely be looking into it inshaAllah soon.
haha the kid is really cute mashaAllah. I think i like the bowl shaped haircut the most hehe.
I don’t know what are other people’s favorite reciters. Feel free to leave a link if you guys want.
I really like majid al’anzi a lot and the new imam of al-haram, Maher al-mu’ayqilly — he has this one recitation of surat Al-hijr that I love to listen to. Allah yahfadhhum.
p.s. if you guys like the quran recitations you can always subscribe to my channel inshaAllah on youtube. usually i upload a lot of things around ramadan time. wallahu alem.

Assalamu Alaykum,
Do you by any chance know the Qari reciting Surah al-Kahf at the following link?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlEN_5RaUA0
His recitation is so beautiful..
shirien Says: 10.10.08 at 10:09 pm
Assalamu alaikum Br. Abdullah,
MashaAllah, la qowwitta illa billah! that’s one of the most beautiful recitations i’ve heard! Tabarak Allah!
I do not know the reciter off the bat, but I’m determined to figure it out inshaAllah. Once I do, I’ll let you know inshaAllah.
The voice is not strange to me.. I think i’ve heard him before, so i’ll do my investigations inshaAllah.
Abdullah Says: 12.10.08 at 12:43 am
Walaykum Assalam,
Please! I await the results of your research..his identity has alluded me for days!
shirien Says: 12.10.08 at 9:05 pm
Subhanallah, this is driving me crazy! I KNOW i’ve heard his voice before but i can’t seem to remember where.
The thing is, he sounds very much between Yasir Alfilkawi and Salah Alhashem.
(more like alfilkawi)
It’s driving me crazy though, inshaAllah if I figure it out i’ll let you know
!!!!
Amatullah Says: 12.10.08 at 9:17 pm
I thought it was Al Filkawi too when I first heard it…
shirien Says: 12.10.08 at 9:23 pm
That what I thought! and I really think it might be him. Although it’s a little faster than how he usually recites.
WAllahu alem. Barak Allahu feeki Amatullah!
Amatullah Says: 12.10.08 at 9:24 pm
It’s not Fahd Kanderi is it? SubhanAllah they all sound similar. Great Shirien, now it’s driving me crazy lol!
shirien Says: 12.10.08 at 9:25 pm
Haha! no no it’s not alkanderi, I’m well aware of his recitation. It’s not his voice. but yeah it’s got me confused now! but I’m SURE I’ve heard him before. I’m leaning toward alfilkawi, but this is still driving me crazy
