Download the Quran as mp3 — Qaloun reading
Every recording is available as mp3.

Each page holds the player, the direct download link, and the ability to jump to any verse in the recording.
Tariq (Path): by way of Abu Nushayt
Mushaf covers and recording descriptions carry the line "the Qaloun reading of Nafi', by way of Abu Nushayt". A tariq sits one level below a riwaya: Qaloun is a riwaya from Nafi', and Qaloun himself has two well-known paths, Abu Nushayt's and al-Hulwani's. What is printed and recorded today follows Abu Nushayt's path, the one transmitted by the Shatibiyya.
