Good voice, MashAllah. He needs to work on the tajweed though.

MaahaaAllah. Where was this?

The man took off Sheikh Shuraim extraordinarily! Especially the end-ayah mudds like Iyyaaka_nastaeen, Zwaalimoon etc!

It wasn't exactly like Sheikh Shuraim, i don't think his voice was heavy enough. But, in some parts he did it good. Sheikh Sudais is in Pakistan here, i could see the Pakistani flag there. I think they broadcasted it live in lots of channels cuz i see lots of microphones.
When was this?

It is an outrage thas this Brother was imitating the Voice Sheikh Shuraim in presence of Sheikh Sudais.
Not in presence of Sheikh Sudais!!!

This is an insult!!!

Very nice imitation of shiekh shuraim considering that its very hard to imitate him! I hadn't seen this video before. This was during sheikh sudais' much publicized visit to Pakistan a few years ago i think in 2007 to be exact. I remember it was almost like a 24 hour coverage of shiekh sudais activities in the country by the news channels. Shiekh sudais led the maghrib prayers in lahore at the Badshahi mosque and a few days later the juma pareyrs in Shah Faisal mosque in Islamabad. There were huge crowds at the prayers. There are lot of vidoes of that on youtube. It was pretty awsome! I hope Shiekh Shuraim also visits the country!

Good recitation mashaAllah. But comes no where near Sheikh As-Shuraim.It was kind of funny he imitated Sheikh Shuraim in front of Sheikh As-Sudais lol. In my opinion, no one can copy Sheikh Shuraim's unique voice.

This was at a Jamiat Ahle hadith conference in Lahore during the sheikh's visit to Pakistan. Sheikh Sudais gave a beautiful lecture on the excellence of the people of Hadeeth.

lol, i agree with SSfanforlyf. A girl n my school said she was at the mosque when Sheikh Shuraim visited Pakistan, maybe she's mistaken-it was Sheikh Sudais- she says her dad talked 2 him in arabic.

Attention SHEIKH SHURAIM 4 EVER, This was NOT telecast live on tv due to some political complications. The organizers were at some probs with the Government.

However, nice imitation

AJA said...

Sheikh Shuraim has been to pakistan once,but only stopped at the airport,because the plane was landed intentionally by the minister in order for Sheikh Shuraim to stay there for atleast few hours. Sheikh Shuraim led the prayers at the airport.He was on the way to his home from Indonesia. That was rare lol.

this is Qari Abdus-Salaam Azizi from Pakistan, mashallah

Oh ok, thanks for correcting me anonymous.

It's amazing how Sheikh Shuraim has been to Pakistan even if if was only at the airport and how the minister wanted him to stay for a few hours! I saw the videos of when he was in Indonesia, people were jumping over each other trying to shake his hand and he couldn't even go through. :)

Sheikh Shuriam has visited Pakistan twice, Karachi airport and islamabad for 3 days from 1st May to 4th May 2005.

salamun alikum warahmatullah.
i have read all the comments and my opinion would be that this brother's recitation is awesome.subhanallah. all those people attacking him for tajweed and tone are incorrect. i have mastered the art o tajweed and have met sheikh shuraim in person also. he has a very quiet personality, besides that, this brother imitated sheikh very well. sheikh saud might not read like this now but i remember during the 1990s this was the style that was famous.
barakallahu feek

This was 90% of 10 year ago Shuraim

maroof said...

sheikh saud's current recitation though slow is indeed much powerful and very deep than his old recitations. Its filled with total respect, awe and fine-style tuned up tone mashaAllah. I really enjoy his recent recitations very much.

Salam.
Mashallah. The qirat sounds so good. Just like Shaikh Shuraim. Subhanallah.

Not even 1% of Shaikh Shureem.
Shaikh did not recite like this not only in 90s even in 80s.

How did you meet Sheikh Shuraim in person?
And yes, i agree his tone was kind of like this before, but his voice hasen't changed.

Ahson said...

HR Staff, can you plz get hold of videos of Shiekh Shuraim when he was in pakistan in 2005?
And Muhaammad you truly are a very lucky person to have met shiekh shuraim! How and where did u meet him?Ive also heard that he is a quiet and shy person and lives a simple life.. May Allah protect him always!

AJA said...

As-salamu alaykum :)

MashaAllah brother Muhammad,you are very lucky to meet Sh.Shuraim. First of all, We never attacked his recitation :)..We were just trying to explain that no one can copy Sheikh Shuraim perfectly. Also, I liked that brother's qirat. May Allah reward him. And you are absolutely right, sheikh shuraim's tune was close to this in 90s. But I have heard many imitations,and none come close to Sh.Shuraim. Sheikh Shuraim's fans and I can agree on that. If I offended you or that brother in some way, I like to apologize. And tell that brother to keep it up inshaAllah. PS: Sheikh Shuraims tune has a resemblance of Sheikh Ali Jaber(Rahima Hullah).

I thought it was brilliant and i prefer the old recitation style of shuraim, all though i love the recent style when his style is that of ali jaber some what.

Abdullah said...

Mashallah great recitation. Having been listening to Shaikh Shuraim since I was 12 years old, I can say that this brother maybe ( I am being generous and trying to be nice) sounds 10 % like Shaikh Shuraim. There was no variation of the endings of Shaikh shuraim, brother kept doing the same ending tone to ayats over and over again and it got very repetitive. Shaokh Shuraim seldom uses the endings(though he does use them) the brother used. And brother MUHAMMAD who commented that he has mastered his art of tajweed, the reciter does need to work on his tajweed (especially the Madds where he never stretches any Mad), tajweed doesn't necessarily mean ONLY Makharij, there is more to it than that. Anyways, I give the reciter some praise for trying to imitate Shaikh Shuraim, good luck to him next time.

can you give us details of sheikh shuriam visit to pakistan. i agree with ssfanforlyf.

Anonymous said...

the rcitation of brother is very good
and im desperately waiting for sheikh shuraim to to come and lead fajr salaat

Unknown said...

The Faatihah had very little resemblence to Sheikh Shuraim's.

Least resembling was his raising of voice. the brother raised his voice on the very second ayah which Sheikh Shuraim usually does after some 4 to 5 RAKA"AHs are over at taraweeh.

This brother overdid the imitation of the end-ayah Madds and he did it at every end ayah! Also he did not succeed much in copying that.

However, MaShaaAllah.

Muqaatil Fee Sabeelillaah said...

I wonder how Sheikh Sudais felt like when it was his old friend being copied before him! Could he even recognize this or just thought it was just another recitation?

Anonymous said...

What did Sheikh Sudais say in this programme? Any recording available?

adeeb said...

maybe people are doing Gheebat here by saying hes this or he cant recite like shuraim, if the recitor would not like what all you people have said then its gheebat and if the gheebat of a person you do is not true then its slandering plus gheebat, two al kabair sins, two major sins.

i suggest HR to remove such comments.

Sheikh Shuraim is just 2 unique,the way he recites is simly beautiful.1 can c why there would not b another tag team like Sheikh Shuraim nd Sheikh Sudais they r simply unbeatable.Sheikh Maahir nd Sheikh Budair r really good but still have no match wiv the 2 master's.

Anonymous said...

the maads are fine. the go accordance with the arab tajweed. maddul munfasil and maddul-aridh waqfi are not comprehended due to its importance so no need to be angry. the recitation is beautiful

Sheikh Shuraim 4 ever said...

There are other Shuraim immitations on youtube by Sheikh saad nomani who can immitate over 80 Sheikhs. You should check them the're pretty good even though no one can immitate Sheikh SHURAIM.
Once Sheikh saad nomani came to a mosque near my house and immitiated Sheikh Shuraim and Sudais, though i didn't know Sheikh Shuraim's name then but had been listening to him since gr.4.
But, Sheikh Shuraim still can't be imitated- he's too good.

Abdullah said...

There is no such things as arab tajweed, tajweed is simply tajweed, it is universal and hence should be taught that way. I don't mean to offend you brother, but sometimes it is nice to know what you are talking about rather than stereotyping which has no place in Islam, Allahummah di na fee man hadaik

umayr said...

this is a beautiful recitation. he has a beautiful voice whether hes trying to imitate sheikh shuraim or not. mashallah sheikh sudais must be so pleased some1 is trying so hard to imitate his old time friend sheikh shuraim! And Allah knows best

Abdullah said...

I apologize if I have offended anyone by ny comments, I understand that no one is perfect and everyone has many mistakes or else we wouldn't be human beings after all, I really ask everybody's fotgiveness and may Allah bless the brother who recited with a good life here and in the akhira. Ameen
