Night of 25th Ramadan: The Voice of Hashim As-Saqqaf Echoes in the Haram

The resonance of the Maghrib Adhan from the Grand Mosque by Sheikh Hashim As-Saqqaf has been reverberating widely for days. On the 8th of last Dhul Qa'dah, he led the worshippers and called the Adhan with his melodious voice, and recordings continue to be shared extensively with the onset of the last ten days. Not only that, but many are also searching for recitations that combine blessed Surahs, specifically from Al-Baqarah and An-Najm alongside the Maghrib Adhan, creating a complete spiritual experience just before Iftar.

A Saudi Voice Resonates from Australia.. Mahmoud Kurkuki in Sydney

In a scene reflecting the reach of the authentic Saudi voice around the world, the name of the reciter Mahmoud Kurkuki topped search trends in the past hours. The story goes back to a new recording that spread widely, showing him calling the Maghrib Adhan from the Panchbol Mosque in the Australian city of Sydney. The recording, initially released at the end of November last year, has powerfully resurfaced during Ramadan due to its profound emotional quality and melodic touches that take one on a spiritual journey.

The beautiful part is that Kurkuki is not just any muezzin; he is a voice that reinterprets Islamic heritage with authentic eastern melodic modes (maqamat). Recently, he released several works, including segments on teaching the Adhan in all vocal maqamat, and recitations of Surahs like Al-Baqarah and Ayat-ul Kursi, making him a familiar name in Saudi households during this month.

Precious Moments: What Do Saudis Do Just Before Maghrib?

During these days of Ramadan, the pace of life changes just before Maghrib. Everyone is waiting. A scene brings the family together around the Iftar table, children holding their glasses of water, and everyone listening intently to the sound of the Adhan. This year, we notice a growing interest in following muezzins from different parts of the world, not only from the Two Holy Mosques but extending to Saudi voices abroad like Kurkuki, or rare recordings from the Haram. This diversity provides a broader scope for reflection and feeling the unity of the Muslim Ummah at the moment of breaking the fast.
