Surah Kahf
Here I have made some ear training exercises. I want you to listen carefully and hear what is different from the “standard” Hafs ‘an ‘Asim way of reciting. Sometimes I’ll purposely make errors and other times I’ll use different Qira’at that are still correct, but different.
InshaAllah this will help you hear your own errors and for those who wish to teach in the future, good practice to listen out for mistakes!
