Qari najam mustafa biography sample

RAWALPINDI: Speakers paid tribute to Qari Khushi Mohammad, a recipient of the Tamgha-i-Imtiaz known for the recitation of the Quran, on his death anniversary on Monday.

An event held in this regard at the International Qirat Academy in Satellite Town was attended by students, friends and admirers of Mohammad.

Speakers said it was unfortunate that Mohammad was no longer with them, but his voice would always be a beam of light to show people the right path and his legacy was continued by his sons Qari Najam Mustafa, who received the Nishan-i-Imtiaz in 2007, and retired Capt Mohammad Mehmood who received it in 2015.

They said Mohammad’s death was the end of an era, but his services towards Islam were remarkable.

From a family of Kharal Rakpoots, Mohammad completed a three year source of recitation and rules from Jamia Qasmia in Karachi.

He was appointed the imam of the Presidency and was the first qari of the Senate under Gen Ayub Khan.

The following reading list compiles works relevant to Tajwīd, Qirā’ah, and Qur’anic studies, encompassing various branches within these fields. This list was curated over the course of my studies during the past few years, and then condensed for the purpose of this article. Emphasising works directly linked to these sciences, the list excludes exegesis (Tafsīr) works and primarily features books in English that would be useful to a student of the Qur’an in the Western hemisphere. Research papers are included selectively, focusing on those offering unique insights. To aid navigation, I have categorised the list into sections corresponding to specific topics.

Please also note that the inclusion of a work on this list is not an endorsement of the entire contents. Some of the works would need to be read critically, and preferably with the opportunity to discuss any contentious issues with an expert scholar of the Qur’an.

I pray that Allah makes this list beneficial for all the seekers of knowledge. Please do feel free to suggest further works that I may have missed in the comments.
