This study is part of a research project that has not been published yet. We are interested in
studying the Quranic rhythm according to digital simulation and physical laws in an attempt to
approach the reasons that lead to the listener being affected by Quranic recitation and Tjweed. Our
work belongs to a research team calls “Modelling and Simulation of Energy Systems” (SImulIA)
which is affiliated to “Energy Laboratory in Dry areas” (ENERGARID) in TAHRI Mohammed
university of Bechar.
Our attention was drawn to what Luqman said to his son in the Holy Quran: “And be
moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the
harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the ass.” (https://noblequran.com/surahluqman/ 19), so why the Holy God mentioned this saying, and why the sound of
ass (donkey) is so bad. We used the digital technologies in order to understand the Quranic
signals.

Keywords: rhythm, Quran, sounds, simulation, modeling, physics
