About Mohammad Rachad Al Shareef

Sheikh Mohammad Rachad Al Shareef (Muhammad Rashad ibn Abd al-Salam al-Sharif, 1925–2016), born in Hebron, was the official reciter of al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. His voice, strikingly close to that of the Egyptian master Muhammad Rifat, whom he took as his model, left its mark on generations of Palestinian and Jordanian listeners. He died in Amman in 2016.

Early years and radio debut

Born in Hebron in 1925 into a family of sharifs, he was drawn from childhood to poetry, calligraphy and music. With no radio at home, he would stand behind the only café in town that owned a set to hear Sheikh Muhammad Rifat broadcast from Cairo, and then imitate him faithfully. He learned the Quran from Sheikh Husayn Ali Abu Sunayna, who granted him an ijaza in the Hafs and Warsh readings.

In the early 1940s, still a teenager, he was taken on by the Jerusalem radio station, whose programmes were then run by the poet Ibrahim Tuqan. Muhammad Rifat heard him from Cairo and exclaimed that he was listening to "the Muhammad Rifat of Palestine", later writing to him to express his admiration.

Reciter of al-Aqsa and Hebron

Reciter of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, where he read on Fridays and Monday afternoons, he was appointed official reciter of al-Aqsa by the Jerusalem Awqaf administration in 1966, alternating between the two sanctuaries from one Friday to the next. He also opened the annual Islamic conferences held in Jerusalem until 1967. Alongside this he taught Arabic for more than forty years in schools in Jerusalem and Hebron, and Quranic sciences for five years at Hebron University; he also wrote a first-grade Arabic textbook for the Jordanian Ministry of Education and some one hundred poems.

Quran recording and later life

Following an Islamic conference in Jeddah in 1980, Jordan's Ministry of Awqaf commissioned him to record the complete Quran. Completed in 1984, the recording was issued as the "Mushaf of al-Aqsa Mosque" and presented to official guests of the kingdom; a later edition added his slow recitations from al-Aqsa and the Ibrahimi Mosque. He settled in Jordan in 2002 and served until his death as imam of the King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman's Abdali district. He died in Amman on 26 September 2016.
