The Night of 25th Ramadan: Hashim as-Saqqaf's Voice Resonates in the Haram

The echoes of the Maghrib adhan from the Grand Mosque by Sheikh Hashim as-Saqqaf have been circulating widely in recent days. On the 8th of last Dhul Qa'dah, he led the worshippers and called the adhan with his melodious voice, and recordings have been heavily shared with the advent of the last ten days of Ramadan.

A Saudi Voice Resonates from Australia: Mahmoud Kirkuki in Sydney

In a scene reflecting the reach of the authentic Saudi voice across the globe, the name of the reciter Mahmoud Kirkuki has been trending in search engines over the past few hours. The story traces back to a newly surfaced recording that has gone viral, showing him calling the Maghrib adhan from the Punchbowl Mosque in Sydney, Australia. The recording, initially released at the end of November last year, has powerfully resurfaced during Ramadan due to its profound emotion and maqam-inflected touches that take the listener on a spiritual journey.

The beauty of it is that Kirkuki is not just a transient muezzin; he is a voice that reinterprets Islamic heritage with authentic eastern melodic modes. Recently, he has released several works, including educational segments on the adhan in all vocal maqamat, and recitations of chapters like Al-Baqarah and Ayat al-Kursi, making him a familiar name in Saudi homes during this month.
