Feeling a Bit Off When Hearing Quran Recitations

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I've been dealing with this since I was a kid-I just don't feel comfortable listening to Quran recitations, whether it's on TV, in the car, or even in class when a teacher is reading it. It makes me uneasy, and I don't know why. On the flip side, I have no issues reading it myself; in fact, I read Quran daily and it brings me joy and a sense of peace. The only recitation I truly enjoy is my mom's; when she reads, it makes me feel calm and safe. Is this something others experience? Or is there an explanation for why I dislike hearing others recite but feel so much better with my own or my mom's recitation? Jazakallahu khairan for any thoughts!

I think it’s about the connection. Your mom’s voice is a source of comfort, so her recitation feels safe. Maybe other styles just feel unfamiliar. You're not wrong for feeling that way.

Same. It's totally a vibe thing for me. Some voices just don't resonate, but my own reading is fine.

Oh my gosh, I actually feel this too. Like I love reading myself, but some recitations just hit my ears wrong and make me anxious. It's so good to know I'm not alone!
