The Thematic Qur’an Project groups connected ayāt into clear, reflective themes.

Recitation by Mishary Al-Afasy and English Translation by Talal Itani.

Rather than moving verse by verse, each audio track presents a unified subject—mercy, justice, patience, family, gratitude—allowing the heart to encounter Allah’s guidance in a coherent, flowing way.

Created with calm pacing, respectful audio design, and accessible translations (English and more to come), this project is to support anyone seeking a closer, more contemplative relationship with the Qur’an in their daily life.

May it open pathways of understanding, soften the heart, and draw the listener nearer to the Divine message.
