Surah An-Naml

During last week, almost every night, I did not miss reading some verses of Surah An-Naml. I think it was on Sunday that I randomly opened the Koran (it is my habit, I love to read some random Surahs) and it was the beginning of An-Naml. I do not know if I had already read this surah, but immediately I felt in love with it! It tells several interesting stories about Prophets Suleiman (King Solomon), Moses, Saleh, Lut with a lot of prays to learn. I like every verse of it. Unusual of me, I have started reading all verses in Arabic, instead of Persian, trying to learn the Arabic words. Last night, I could almost read it in Arabic, while getting the meaning. I am even considering listening to a qari (Koran reader) who reads this surah. Last night I asked my husband to introduce some to me, as he was a qari and hafiz (memorizing Koran) in his teens. I don't really know anyone except Abdul-basit, a very famous qari, that you cannot miss his name if you have left in Iran. I am sure listening to a person who knows how to pronounce the Arabic words will be even more pleasurable.
