The term designates auditory recordings related to or derived from a specific religious text. These recordings facilitate engagement with the source material through listening, offering an alternative to traditional reading. As an illustration, one might access narrated versions of scriptural passages or interpretations through such recordings.
The value of these recordings lies in their accessibility and potential for enhanced understanding. They provide a means for individuals with visual impairments, literacy challenges, or those who prefer auditory learning to connect with the text. Historically, oral transmission played a crucial role in disseminating religious knowledge, and these recordings represent a modern continuation of that tradition.
