There are also some excellent audiobooks now of the Qu'ran on audible, and torrents. I read a new-ish translation by prof Abdel Haleem, it was very well done.
Yeah, not its purpose but it’s very good at explaining events, few words but very telling, not to mention the poetic nature of the Arabic language, who hasn’t heard about the people of the cave (Al-kahf)? That chapter also has some beautiful recitations (with English translations)
I would not say just reading. I think more creativity comes out of sitting blank and in peace, out of boredom. The location can vary, in your room staring at walls, in a dark dingy place, out in nature, staring at horizon and so on.
The OP is asking for inspiration related to a specific culture. Secluded boredom will not help you learn about things to write about a specific culture.
