Controversy Surrounding American Singer Jennifer Grout’s Qur’anic Recitation

Al-Marsad newspaper: Social media users circulated a video clip of American singer Jennifer Grout reading the Holy Qur’an in Arabic.

The video showed the American singer reciting Surah “Al-Mulk” correctly.

The clip sparked controversy on social media, and one tweeter commented: “It is unreasonable, her correct pronunciation of the Arabic letters such as the qaf, the ayn, and the ha!!!, unless she is of Arabic origins and is trained to pronounce them!, or is Arabic similar to them!”

A tweeter added: “She converted to Islam years ago,” while a tweeter questioned the authenticity of the video, saying: “It is clear that artificial intelligence was used.”
