Begin with Al-FatihaAbout QuranMakkah
Founded by Hemin Al Kurdi
I built QuranMakkah because I wanted to learn the Quran with the shaykhs I grew up listening to. Muhammad Al Luhaidan, Raad Al Kurdi, Yasser Al Dossari, Abdallah Humeid, and more. But I could never read Arabic. And you can't find verse-synced audio for these reciters anywhere else. So I built it myself. Every verse is manually timestamped by me, one by one. I've been working on this alone, day and night, since December 2025. Wallahi I do it for the love of Allah and for the deen.
No ads. No subscriptions. No company. No investors. Just one person building something for the Ummah, fi sabilillah. And it will stay free forever, in sha Allah.
