Don't despise, don’t hurt, don’t look down on others. You may think you’re powerful today but things can change in the blink of an eye. Reflect, stay humble. The Almighty can take away anything at any time. Thank Him.

Remarkable - but also not
150 years later, surat Duha sounds like... surat Duha
It's remarkable from a human historical perspective, where languages are constantly evolving, accents, pronunciation etc. (e.g. Beowulf is completely incomprehensible today)
But for any student of Quran, it's not a surprise at all. The care and precision that goes into recitation, and that it must be passed from teacher to student, in an unbroken chain back to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ make it hard to imagine it would be any different
This recitation of Surah ad-Duha is regarded as the oldest known audio recording of the Holy Qur'an.
It was arranged by the Dutch orientalist Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, who stayed in Makkah in 1885 and is reported to have used the Muslim name ʿAbd al-Ghaffar while there. He used Thomas Edison’s then newly invented phonograph wax cylinders to make the recording.
The reciter was a local Qa'ri from Makkah but his identity is not established.
