Join us for an awe-inspiring conversation with Shaykh Kazi Ashiqur Rahman as he unfolds his powerful and extraordinarily challenging journey to becoming a hafiz of the Quran 📖✨.

Growing up in the UK, young Ashiqur's story is one many will find familiar – balancing school, Quran lessons, and supporting his family through financial difficulties 💼. You'll be captivated to hear how he persevered through hunger and tough experiences at boarding school to keep alive his dream.

The Shaykh shares the crucial role his father, an imam, played in fostering his love for the Quran from a young age through imaginative methods 🌱📚. He'll recount how eventful journeys to study in Bangladesh and later, Cairo, moulded his connection with the Quran.

In Egypt, Shaykh Ashiqur was deeply influenced by the guidance of distinguished Quran experts like Shaykh Mustafa Ismail. Prepare to be moved as he describes the soul-touching maqam recitations that deepened his love for Tajweed.

Our podcast reaches its conclusion with the Shaykh's mesmerising recitation that will stir your soul. Whether you're a student of the Quran or simply admire its beauty, this is an unmissable watch! 🌟🎙️
