Qari Saad Nomani - Master of Imitations of recitations !
(AbdulRahman Shoro, Khi-Jed)
Qari Saad Nomani 's brilliance
is similar in our times in Quranic recitations as Imam AbuHanifah RA's in that
times in Islamic Jurisprudence. Indeed Imam AbuHanifah was an undisputed
authority in Islamic Jurisprudence. Qari Saad Nomani is from the progeny of Imam
AbuHanifa and hence carrying the same inheriting brilliance traits .The surname
Nomani refers to the name of Imam AbuHanifa, Noman .
Qari Saad Nomani is a graduate of DarulUloom Karachi and has been student of
internationally renowned Islamic Finance specialist Mufti Taqi Usmani . He is
also student of Qari M.AbdulMajid Zakir in Riyadh . Qari AbdulMajid Zakir is the
teacher of Shaikh AbdulRahman AlSudais , Shaikh Salih b.Humaid , Grand Mufti of
KSA Shaikh AbdAlAziz AalShaikh and others . Even this teacher was impressed by
the uniqueness of Qari Saad and praised him by saying I have never seen such an
extraordinary student in my teaching tenure at all .
I deem Qari Saad Nomani as my " Invisible Mentor " in imitation of recitations .
I used to play his videos while practicing recitations. Somehow after some time
,in school days I was going to library . In the corridor my Arabic teacher
called on me .I went to him. Suddenly I recognized that a person who is standing
beside my Arabic teacher is my Invisible mentor , with whose videos I practice
recitations . On that spot I was informed that Qari Saad has also been student
of my Arabic teacher during his school days and that day he was invited as chief
guest there. I felt proud that I and Qari sb both had been student to same
teacher .
Somehow who are unfamiliar of this legend ,may search him on YouTube. The world
surprised due to his ability of imitating more than 80 widely-known reciters.
The best of all imitations is of Shaikh AbdAlRahman AlSudais , where the unique
ability of Qari sb is revealed . Each and every body who gets surprised , asks
initially how is this possible . I say , when Allah wills then questioning scope
of possibility is totally useless and waste of time . The most appropriate
answer which I deem is
(ذالك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء) .
May Allah bless Qari sb with Long Life , Good Health and Happiness of the both
the Worlds .
Ameen .
