On Saturday 14th August 2010 Qari Ziyaad Patel and myself (Abdul Ahad Miah) met Sheikh Abu Bakr Ash Shatri in Jeddah. We arrived at Masjid Al Furqan and read tarahweeh behind him. SubhanAllah it was the most beautiful, melodious and mesmerising recitation of the Quraan.
Sheikh Abu Bakr Ash Shatri is one off my favourite recitors and I have been listening to the CD or audio recitations for many years but to actually read behind him LIVE in Tarahweeh and then to meet him personally afterwards was just SubhanAllah exceedingly incredible!!
As a person Shiekh Shatri is such a humble and modest person. He speaks very softly but when the lips begin to move and the words of the Quraan are recited then you realise your in he presence of one of the best Quraanic recitors in the world!!!
Alhamdulilah I was so privileged to meet him and many thanks to my respected friend Qari Ziyaad Patel to introduce me to him. I pray that Allah grants Shiekh Abu Bakr Shatri a long life and may he continue to recite the words of Allah in his beautiful voice and may be also benefit from his recitation. Ameen.
