About Hani Ar Rifai

Sheikh Hani Ar Rifai (Hani ibn Abd al-Rahim al-Rifa'i), born in Jeddah in 1974, is a Saudi Quran reciter known for his moving voice and his Hijazi style of recitation. As imam and preacher of the al-Anani Mosque on the Jeddah Corniche, he draws large congregations, especially for the Tarawih prayers of Ramadan. He has twice recorded the complete Quran in the Hafs transmission.

Memorisation and education

Encouraged by his parents, he joined the circles of the Jeddah Charitable Society for Quran Memorisation at the age of seven: first for three months at the Sheikh Hasan Arab Mosque in the Al-Hindawiyah district, under Sheikh Muhammad Yusuf, then at the al-Ammari Mosque, where he completed the memorisation of the Quran at twelve under the Egyptian Sheikh Muhammad Abd al-Rahim Ushayshi. Sheikh Ushayshi later granted him an ijaza in the reading of Hafs 'an 'Asim. He also recited part of the Quran to Sheikh Ali Jaber, a former imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca.

He went through school in Jeddah and graduated from the Department of Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Arts at King Abdulaziz University, where his teachers included Sheikh Khaldun al-Ahdab and Sheikh Ali Jaber.

Imamate and career

He first led Tarawih at the age of ten, in a relative's mosque in Taif, reciting the last two units of prayer before the witr. Two years later he led part of the Tarawih at the King Abdulaziz Mosque in Jeddah. He then became the appointed imam of the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Mosque in the Al-Baghdadiyah al-Gharbiyah district, before moving to the al-Anani (Hasan Anani) Mosque in the Al-Hamra district, whose crowded Friday sermons and Tarawih prayers are widely credited to his popularity.

After graduating he taught Islamic studies in state secondary schools in several Saudi cities, including Najran, before returning to Jeddah. He was later appointed director of religious affairs at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Jeddah, a post he still held in 2019. According to the daily Al-Watan, the Ministry of Information named him official reciter of the Royal Court, and he went on to serve as King Fahd's personal reciter.

Recordings and publications

Besides his two complete murattal recordings of the Quran, he has released sermons and several books, including Shifa' al-'Alil min al-Qur'an al-Karim and Muhkam al-Tanzil. His recitations have been broadcast on channels such as Al-Majd, Iqraa and Al-Fajr.
