About the site

Angelic Verses

Angelic Verses is a quiet place to read the Qur'an from beginning to end. Every one of the 604 Mushaf pages carries the Arabic text, an English transliteration, the translated meaning and a short explanation, with peaceful recitation to listen to as you read. Your reading place and listening progress are remembered, so you can continue your journey at your own pace. Reading and daily lessons are free; membership opens private discussions.

Read the Qur'an

Every Mushaf page, from the first to the six hundred and fourth. Read the Arabic with English transliteration, and explore the meaning and explanation of each verse. Press Recite for Sheikh Minshawi's recorded recitation, or Recite + Meaning to hear each verse followed by its meaning, with every word highlighted as it is spoken.

Listen your way
