When I was around 13 years old, I got my first computer.It was a huge upgrade from the bulky, old monitor I used to share with my brothers. The new screen was sleek and more modern, and the keyboard still had that satisfying clunk with every keypress which I loved.

My father, with a PhD in computer science and a deep love for the Quran, had installed a special application on it. This wasn’t just any software… it allowed us to listen to Quran recitations by some of the most renowned reciters. At the time, this was groundbreaking. Most Quran recitations were either broadcast on the radio or stored on floppy disks, so having them at the click of a button was incredible.
