Assalamu alaikum!

I’m looking for recommendations for a Qur’an reciter whose recitation has proper Tajweed, clear pronunciation, and a soothing, melodious tone.

I want to find a reciter whose style I can listen to regularly and learn to imitate, while ensuring that I’m reciting correctly and not compromising on Tajweed.

I’d appreciate recommendations for reciters who have both beautiful voices and accurate recitation. Please mention specific reciters or surahs/recitations I should start with.

JazakumAllahu khairan!

I want to learn more about salafiyyah, the correct teachings and the methodologies. I live in a country where there are people from different sects but haven't known someone who claims to be a salafi. How can I learn more about salafiyyah and the path of the pious predecessors? Any lectures that are available online? And what scholars/books to refer to?

I'm a 21-year-old woman, and I genuinely want to get married. However, both of my parents are firmly against me marrying before I'm 25. They want me to focus only on my studies and become financially independent first.

My mom often says that the world has changed and that men nowadays expect their wives to earn. I've tried explaining that I don't think it's fair to generalize all men like that. I believe that a practicing man who prioritizes his deen would understand and respect my preference. Personally, I would like to be a stay-at-home wife, work from home, or run a small business that I can manage from home and focus on my deen.

The difficult part is that I feel like my parents are projecting their own aspirations onto me rather than listening to what I actually want. Whenever a relative brings up my marriage, my mom immediately shuts the conversation down by saying, "There's still plenty of time."

I feel like I no longer have much control over my own life. From an Islamic perspective, marrying young is a Sunnah, and I genuinely want to protect myself from the fitnah that exists today, especially while living in a non-Muslim country.

I'm not trying to rush into marriage with just anyone. I simply want my parents to look for a man for me and be open to the possibility if a suitable, practicing man comes forward. I don't want to wait until 25 simply because they've decided that's the "right" age.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you approach your parents respectfully while still standing up for what you wanted? I would really appreciate both Islamic and practical advice.
