Today is January 15, 2023. I have nine chapters of the Quran left to complete this project. The remaining chapters are listed in the image above. The HibiscusT955559 Project was initiated in April 2022. The goal of the project is to create audio recordings of the English translation of the Quran and disseminate same to the public. Thank you all for listening.

Quran 21

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 21 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Their reckoning draws near to mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness. No new reminder comes to them from their Lord, but they listen while they play, diverted their hearts. And those who do wrong discourse secretly, 'Is this except a mortal like you? Will you then approach the magic while you see?' Say, 'My Lord knows what is said in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.' Nay, they say, 'Muddled dreams; Nay! He has invented it; Nay! He is a poet; So let him bring us a sign as those of old were sent.' No city before them which We destroyed believed, will they then believe? And We sent not before you, except men whom We inspired. So ask the people of the Reminder, if you do not know. And We did not make them bodies not eating food, nor were they immortal. Then We fulfilled the promise to them, and We saved them and

Quran 22

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 22 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate O mankind! Fear your Lord. Indeed, the earthquake of the Hour is a mighty thing. The day you shall see it every nursing mother will forget that which she was nursing; and every pregnant woman shall lay down her load; and you shall see mankind drunk, though they are not drunk: but the punishment of God is severe. And among mankind is he who disputes about God without knowledge, and follows every rebellious devil; against him it is written down that whoever takes him for a patron, then indeed, he will lead him astray, and will guide him to the punishment of the blaze! O mankind! If you are in doubt about the resurrection, - then indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, shapely and shapeless, that We may make clear for you. And We make what We please rest in the wombs until an appointed time; then We bring you

Quran 24

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 24 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate A chapter which We have sent down and determined, and have sent down in it manifest signs; perhaps you may be mindful. The fornicatress and the fornicator, then flog each one of them a hundred lashes, and do not let pity for them take hold of you in God's religion, if you believe in God and the last day; and let a party of the believers witness their punishment. And the fornicator shall marry none but a fornicatress or an idolatress; and the fornicatress none shall marry her but a fornicator or an idolater; that is forbidden to the believers. And those who accuse chaste women then do not bring four witnesses, then flog them eighty lashes, and do not accept their testimony ever, and those, they are the defiantly disobedient. Except those who repent after that and act aright, and indeed, God is forgiving, compassionate. And those who accuse their wives and have no wi

Quran 28

We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for a people who believe. Indeed, Pharaoh was lofty in the land and made its people sects; a party of them he weakened, slaughtering their sons and letting their women live. Indeed, he was of those who work corruption. And We wished to be gracious to those who were weakened in the earth, and to make them models, and to make them the heirs; and to establish for them in the earth; and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts what they feared from them. And We inspired the mother of Moses, 'Suckle him; and when you are afraid for him then throw him into the river, and do not fear and do not grieve; indeed, We shall restore him to you, and make him of the messengers!' And Pharaoh's family picked him up that he might be for them an enemy and a gri

Quran 29

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 29 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Alif.Lam.Mim.  Do men think that they will be left to say, 'We believe,' and they will not be tried? And indeed, We tried those who were before them, and God will surely know those who are truthful, and He will surely know the liars. Or do those who do evil deeds think that they can outstrip us? Evil is what they judge. Whoever hopes for the meeting of God, - then indeed, God's term will surely come; And He is the Hearing, the Knowing. And whoever strives, only strives for his own soul; indeed, God is independent of the worlds. And those who believe and do good works, We will surely cover for them their evil deeds; and We will surely reward them better than that which they have done. And We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; and if they strive with you that you may associate with Me, what you have no knowledge of, then do not obey them; to me is

Quran 30

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 30 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Alif.Lam.Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome in a few years; to God belongs the command before and after; and on that day the believers shall rejoice with the help of God; - He helps whom He will, and He is the Mighty, the Compassionate. - God's promise! - God breaks not His promise, but most of mankind do not know! They know the outward of the life of the world, but of the hereafter they are heedless. Have they not reflected in themselves? God created not the heavens and the earth, and what is between them except with truth, and for an appointed term. But indeed, many of mankind surely are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord. Have they not travelled in the land and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than them in might, and they ploughed the earth and cultivated it mo

Quran 33

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 33 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate O prophet! Fear God and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites; indeed, God is ever knowing, wise! And follow what is inspired to you from your Lord; indeed, God is ever aware of what you do. And rely upon God, for God is guardian enough. God has not made for any man two hearts in his inside; and He has not made your wives whose backs you liken to the backs of your mothers as your mothers. And He has not made your adopted sons your sons. That is your saying with your mouths, but God says the truth, and He guides to the way! Call them by their fathers; it is more just in God's sight; but if you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers in religion and your clients. And there is no crime upon you for what mistakes you make therein; but what your hearts do purposely - but God is ever forgiving merciful. The prophet is nearer to the believers than

Quran 35

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 35 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Praise belongs to God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth; who makes the angels messengers endued with wings, two or three or four; He increases in creation what He pleases; indeed, God is powerful over everything. What God opens to mankind of mercy, then none can withhold it; and what He withholds, then none can send if forth after Him; And He is the Mighty, the Wise. O mankind! Remember the favours of God upon you; is there any creator beside God, who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? There is no god but He; how then are you turned away?  And if they call you liar, then certainly, messengers were called liars before you, and to God affairs return. O mankind! Indeed, God's promise is true; so let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the beguiler beguile you about God. Indeed, the devil is to you an enemy, so take him as an ene
