The Night of Ramadan 25: The Voice of Hashim As-Saqqaf Echoes in the Grand Mosque

The resonance of the Maghrib adhan from the Grand Mosque by Sheikh Hashim As-Saqqaf has been circulating widely in recent days. On the 8th of Dhu al-Qi'dah last year, he led the prayer and called the adhan with his melodious voice, and recordings have been shared extensively with the advent of the last ten days of Ramadan. Not only that, but many are also looking for recitations that combine blessed chapters, specifically from Al-Baqarah and An-Najm alongside the Maghrib adhan, creating a complete spiritual scene just before iftar.

A Saudi Voice Rings Out from Australia.. Mahmoud Kirkuki in Sydney

In a scene reflecting the reach of the authentic Saudi voice around the world, the name of the reciter Mahmoud Kirkuki has topped search trends in the past few hours. The story goes back to a newly circulated recording showing him calling the Maghrib adhan from the Punchbowl Mosque in Sydney, Australia. The recording, which was released at the end of last November, has resurfaced powerfully during Ramadan due to its profound emotional quality and maqam-inflected touches that take you on a spiritual journey.

The beautiful part is that Kirkuki is not just a passing muezzin; he is a voice that reinterprets Islamic heritage with authentic Eastern maqamat. Recently, he released several works, including segments on teaching 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.

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. It's a scene of the family gathered around the iftar table, children holding their glasses of water, everyone listening for the call to prayer. This year, we've noticed 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 Kirkuki, or rare recordings from the Grand Mosque. This diversity offers a broader space for reflection and for feeling the unity of the Muslim nation at the moment of breaking the fast.
