Looking for native Arabic speakers.
OP - January 15, 2015, 01:55 AM

There's a real lack of quality materials on how to read Quranic Arabic using English as a starting point.
I'm considering making a Youtube series in which we read the Quran in its original language and explain the etymology of the words as we go.

Would any native Arabic speakers be interested in contributing to this?
I welcome any questions or suggestions.

I am a native speaker but I find reading the quran repulsive. The arabic of the quran is ancient anyways and quite elusive sometimes, but I can try to shed some light as best I can.

Hey buddy,

I missed this post - but as per our brief Skype chat I'm happy to help, though I must stress my time is limited.

This is a big job you're taking on here, and I can tell you now I don't have a huge amount of time/energy to devote to it - so you will need more helpers.

But as I say I will help as much as I can and when I can.

Would love to help, I am a native speaker aswell, but the qur'an is supposed to be read with "tajweed" which I was briefly taught how to do when I was younger, but as Abu Ali, I don't have a lot of time on my hands.

That guy taught Qur'an and ahadith for decades so his take is somewhat authoritative

But he is also a family guy And he has a family beside of us. How weird that may sound

Atheismo, please delete my Skype account name as I think it has been hacked. I'm going to make a new one.
