TOP 10: Best Quran Recitation In The World (My Opinion)
These are my 10 favourite recitations of the Quran, Masha'Allah very beautiful. This selection is totaly based upon my personal opinionn so many i guess will disagree. I have a few reciters such as Saad Al Ghamdi, Mishary, Shuraim, Saud, Saleh Al Talib, Fadel, Ajmi etc.
Please enjoy the and comment your opinions.
Surah Rahman:
This is the only Surah of the Quran in which besides men the jinn also, who are the other creation of the earth endowed with freedom of will and action, have been directly addressed, and both men and jinn have been made to realize the wonders of Allah's power, His countless blessings, their own helplessness and accountability before Him, and have been warned of the evil consequences of His disobedience and made aware of the best results of His obedience. Although at several other places in the Quran there are clear pointers to show that like the men the jinn too are a creation who have been endowed with freedom of will and action and are accountable, who have been granted the freedom of belief and unbelief, of obedience and disobedience, and among them too there are the believers and the unbelievers, the obedient and the rebellious, as among human beings, and among them too there exist such groups as have believed in the Prophets sent by God and in the Divine Books, this Surah clearly points out that the message of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the Quran is meant both for men and for jinn and that his Prophethood is not restricted to human beings alone.
Although in the beginning of the Surah the address is directed only to human beings, for to them only belongs the vicegerency of the earth, among them only have the Messengers of Allah been raised, and in their tongues only have the Divine Books been revealed, yet from verse 13 onward both the men and the jinn have been addressed and one and the same invitation has been extended to both.
Chapter 55 of the Holy Qur'an, entitled "The Most Gracious", "Ar-Rahman" in transliterated Arabic, and "الرَّحْمَنُ" in Arabic. The recitation is by Kamal Uddin.

Moulana Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi
Moulana Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi TABLIGH JAMAT *AKABIREEN-E-UMMAT*
.
moulana Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi (Arabic: ???? ????? ?????????) was the founder of the Islamic revivalist movement Tablighi Jamaat. Born in 1885 to a family of religious scholars, his early education was completed at home.He was then sent to study at the famous centre of Islamic learning, Darul Uloom Deoband, where he studied under several famous Ulema. After completing his studies, he taught at various madrassas. In the late 1920s founded Tablighi Jamaat.
Early Life and Childhood
Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Khandalwi was born in Khandala in 1303 Hijri. His birth name was Ikhtar Ilyas. His father Maulana Muhammad Ismaeel Sahib died in 1315 Hijri. He had two brothers, Maulana Muhammad Yahya Sahib 15 years younger and 12 years older Hazrat Shaykh-ul-Hadeeth Sahib. His Mother Bibi Safiyyah memorised entire Qur’an after marriage. She knew the Quran so well and prayed it so much that in Ramadan she would pray one Quran and 10 paras every day. In this way she would pray 40 Qurans every Ramadan. Maulana Yahya was his older brother who took care of him after the death of their father. Shaikhul hadees was his nephew not his brother.Education
He spent the first part of his childhood in Khandala and after that he was in the service of his father in Nizamuddin – Delhi. He memorised the entire Qur’an at a very young age. Maulana Muhammad Ilyas gained his early knowledge from Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Ibrahim. After that was in the service of Hazrat Gangohi. At this time he was only 10 or 11 years old. Hazrat Gangohi died in Zul – Hijjah 1323. At this time Maulana Muhammad Ilyas was 20 years old. From this it can be seen that he was in the service of Gangohi for approximately 10 years.When he used to learn any Kitaab(book), he would do Mutalla in such a way that when the lesson was being taught it would be as if he had already done it before. Sometimes because his Mutalla was good, the teacher would tell him to teach the class. In this way he was a student as well as a teacher.
In 1326 Hijri Maulana Muhammad Ilyas learnt Bukhari and Tirmidhi from Hazrat Shaykh – ul- Hind Maulana Muhammad – ul – Hasan Sahib. It took him only 4 months to do this. Then he taught in Mazahir – Uloom (for 8 years)
Maulana Yahya was his older brother who took care of him after the death of their father. Shaikhul hadees was his nephew not his brother
Mawlana Ashraf Alī Thanwī
Mawlana Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī (August 19, 1863 – July 4, 1943) (Urdu: اشرف علی تھانوی) was an Indian Islamic Sunni Hanafi scholar of the Deobandi school.
Early life
Ashraf 'Alī Thanwī was born as 'Abdul Ghanī in the village of Thāna Bhāwan within the Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh, India on August 19, 1863. He was named Ashraf 'Alī by Hāfiz Ghulām Murtazā Pānīpatī, a maternal relative. He belonged to the Shaikhzada community, and his family was well-respected and held a high position in Thāna Bhāwan. His father, 'Abdul Haqq, was a wealthy landowner, devout Muslim, and respected citizen. Ashraf 'Alī Thanwī’s lineage can be traced back to the second Caliph of Islam, 'Umar ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb.[citation needed]
Eventually, Ashraf Ali Thanwi retired from teaching and devoted himself to reestablishing the spiritual centre (khānqāh) of his shaikh in Thāna Bhāwan. Upon this transition, Hājī Imdādullāh remarked, "It is good that you have arrived in Thāna Bhāwan. It is hoped that people will benefit from you spiritually and physically. You should engage yourself in revitalizing our madrasah and khānqāh once more in Thāna Bhāwan. As for myself, I am always praying for you and attentive towards you."[citation needed]

His father, 'Abdul Haqq, was a wealthy landowner, devout Muslim, and respected citizen. Ashraf 'Alī Thanwī’s lineage can be traced back to the second Caliph of Islam, 'Umar ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb.[citation needed]
Education
Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī graduated from the Darul Uloom Deoband in 1884. When Rashīd Ahmad Gangohī, one of the founders of the institution, arrived for the graduation ceremony, Shaikhul Hind Mahmūd-ul Hasan informed him that an especially intelligent student was about to graduate. Gangohī wanted to test this student by asking the most difficult questions that he could think of. Ashraf 'Alī's answers amazed and pleased Gangohī, who himself conducted the Dastārbandī Jalsa, the turban-tying ceremony marking graduation.Spiritual training
During his studies at Dār-ul 'Ulūm Deoband, Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī asked Gangohī to train him in the spiritual sciences as well. Gangohī, however, advised him to wait until the completion of his traditional studies. Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī remained restless and looked for a way to ask Hājī Imdādullāh, the spiritual guide of Gangohī, to recommend him to his student. When Gangohī departed for Hajj, Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī sent a letter with him to Hājī Imdādullāh, requesting him to persuade Gangohī to initiate him into his spiritual order (Tariqah|Ṭarīqah).Career
After his graduation, Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī taught religious sciences in Kanpur for fourteen years. Over a short period of time, he acquired a reputable position as a religious scholar, of Sufism among other subjects.[1] His teaching attracted numerous students and his research and publications became well-known in Islamic institutions. During these years, he traveled to various cities and villages, delivering lectures in the hope of reforming people. Printed versions of his lectures and discourses would usually become available shortly after these tours. Until then, few Islamic scholars had had their lectures printed and widely circulated in their own lifetimes. The desire to reform the masses intensified in him during his stay at Kanpur.Eventually, Ashraf Ali Thanwi retired from teaching and devoted himself to reestablishing the spiritual centre (khānqāh) of his shaikh in Thāna Bhāwan. Upon this transition, Hājī Imdādullāh remarked, "It is good that you have arrived in Thāna Bhāwan. It is hoped that people will benefit from you spiritually and physically. You should engage yourself in revitalizing our madrasah and khānqāh once more in Thāna Bhāwan. As for myself, I am always praying for you and attentive towards you."[citation needed]

Literary contribution
Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī was a prolific author. His literary contributions are in the order of eight hundred to one thousand in number, including sermons, discussions, discourses, treatises, and books. Sayyid Sulaimān Nadwī said, "Hazrat [Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī] was a translator and exegete (mufassir) of the Quran; he explained its injunctions and wisdoms. He removed doubts and answered questions pertaining to it." Thānwī was a scholar of hadīth (muhaddith) as well, and expounded its intricacies and subtleties. He was a jurist (faqīh) who issued thousands of legal rulings (fatwā) and addressed numerous legal problems in contemporary issues in Islamic law (fiqh). He was described as a moving orator (khaṭīb) and hundreds of his speeches have been published and widely circulated.Quran recitation
While teaching in Kanpur, Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī was reported to have seen 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās, the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, in a dream. In this dream, he indicated to him that tafsir should become his primary task. Sayyid Sulaimān Nadwī said:He not only memorized the words of the Qur’aan but also memorized the deeper significance of these words. He was an exceptional reciter (qārī) of the Quran, who had mastered the art of recitation. The uniqueness of his recitation of the Quran was such that each letter was uttered from its proper place of pronunciation (makhraj). There was no imitation or overly exertive effort to make his voice melodious. He would rather recite in his normal voice, which was full of inspiration and absorbed in reflection.[citation needed]
Discourses
The propagation of Islam was an essential part of Thānwī’s life. He would be highly organized and would plan his tours well in advance. Thousands of people would attend his lectures, which usually lasted between two and five hours. Once he visited Gajner, a village in the Kanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, when the Ārya Samāj had started to preach Hinduism among the Muslims of that area. Thanwi was able to persuade the Muslims there to promise that they would not commit "apostasy" by converting. To prevent the spread of apostasy, he wrote the treatise, Al-Insidād li-Fitnat-il Irtidād ("Putting a Stop to the Temptation of Apostasy").Opposition to Barelvi practices
Thānwī opposed a wide variety of religious practices in South Asia, which he saw as bidah, unacceptable innovation within Islam. These practices, often derived from Sufism, were common among the Sunni Muslims of India, specially the Barelvis. Ashraf Ali Thanwi wrote a number of books that dealt with this subject. His book, Hifzul Imān ("Protecting Faith"), denounced such common acts as worshipping at tombs, asking for intercession from other than God, and believing in the omnipresence of the prophet Muhammad and Muslim saints.[citation needed]Criticism
Thanwi's statements drew criticism from a variety of other Islamic authorities. Barelwi scholar Ahmad Raza Khan issued a fatwa of kufr against Thanwi for his alleged disrespect to the prophet Muhammad.[2] Ahmad Raza Khan cited in his fatwa Thanwi's belief that the "knowledge of unseen" possessed by Muhammad could be attained by the epileptics and the insane, the animals and the beasts as well.[3] These allegations were seen as refuted by the Deobandis and the refutation endorsed by some[who?] other Muslim scholars.[citation needed]Views on politics
Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī argued, using mainly verses of the Quran, that political rule is only a means of instituting Islam in people's lives and not the purpose of life itself. All modern political notions that contradict the Quran and Hadīth would have to be forsaken, and the "pure" political thought reflected in Quranic sources should guide Muslims in organizing and structuring their governments.[citation needed] He was the Murshid of Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani and Mufti Muhammad Shafi who supported Mohammad Ali Jinnah during Pakistan movementDeath
Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī died in Thāna Bhāwan on July 4, 1943. His funeral prayer was led by his nephew, Zafar Ahmad Uthmānī, and he was buried in the graveyard of 'Ishq-e-Bāzān.Desecration of Grave
On December 17, 2006 the graves of Ashraf Ali Thanvi and three others were leveled and desecrated in Thana Bhawan, Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India
