My Life with the Qur'an

A life shaped by the Holy Qur'an, guided by parents, teachers, education and creative growth.

01
Origin · 2003

Raised in a Quranic Home

Born on 1st August 2003 in Pakistan, into a deeply Quranic household. Both his father, Abdul Baseer, and his mother are respected Qurra — reciters of the Holy Qur'an. From his earliest days, the Qur'an was not an activity but an atmosphere: recited, heard, and lived every single day.

Childhood

An Early Connection

A deep, emotional attachment to recitation took root in childhood. The Qur'an became the rhythm of his daily life — listening, practising, and reciting continuously. Travelling or at home, sitting or standing, his tongue stayed moist with tilawat.

Education & Sanad

The Path of Knowledge

2017 — Hifz completed (memorisation of the entire Holy Qur'an) under Qari Ishtiaq Ahmad Saqi (hafizahullah). Under the same respected teacher, the essential foundations of Tajweed, Qur'an recitation practice, and the main foundation in lahjat and maqamat were also beautifully shaped.

2019 — Complete Tajweed studied under Qari Idrees Al-Aasim (rahimahullah) — a student of Sheikh Muhammad Ayyub Al-Barmawi (rahimahullah), the famous Imam of Masjid an-Nabawi — with further learning in selected lahjat and maqamat.

2020 — Matriculation completed (Allied Schools).

2022 — Intermediate (ICS) completed — Punjab Group of Colleges.

2024 — Studying at Masjid an-Nabawi, alongside Uthmani script/calligraphy under Sheikh Sabri (SABRI) (hafizahullah), a renowned calligraphy teacher at Masjid an-Nabawi.
