Question

Salam. 

Do you know where I could get a complete Qur'an set with recitation in Warsh and/or Qaloon. 

I know they are available as I have listened to them on IslamWay.com, Warsh by Khalil Al-Husari, and Qaloon by Hudhaifi, but the quality there is not very good. 

Would you know where I could by any of these?

Jazakallah Khairan.

 P.S. Are you based in the US?

 P.S.S. Some people have said to me that Shiekh Ayman may be the highest authority in Qur'an today, is this true?

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

There are sets available of Husary reading Warsh, and there may be sets of him also reading Qaloon, but they are not easy to find.  They are available in Egypt, but again, difficult to find and the set of Warsh is available in Saudi Arabia. 

We are based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Sheikh Ayman Swayd, may Allah keep him safe and grant him the best of health is certainly one of the top authorities on tajweed, and qira'aat today.  This is due to his recitation to many of the top Shuyookh in both Egypt and Syria plus his vast work in taHqeeq (verification) of the original works of the old scholars of tajweed.  He has traveled to many places in search of original documents and works of the old scholars and by Allah's Will then his striving, was able to acsertain many original or copies of orignal documents to use in his research.  May Allah protect him and his family and reward him greatly for all his great work and effort.
