Well, if I need to describe a famous person I would love to meet one day, I would choose Mishri Rashid Ala’fasi, a world-famous Qari and Islamic scholar from Kuwait, because he is best known for his incredibly emotional and melodious Quran recitation which are listened by millions around the world. Actually, at first I came across his voice while searching for a peaceful Quran recitation on the internet. His unique tone and sincerity instantly touched my heart and then after listening to him regularly I felt myself feeling spiritually uplifted and more connected to my face. Honestly, it wasn’t just his voice but how he recites every verse with deep meaning and reflection that truly moved me. What’s even more powerful is that he inspired me to start memorizing the Quran, something I had always wanted to do but never seriously attempt. His example made me believe that with dedication and sincerity it’s absolutely possible. You could say he didn’t just inspired me, he persuaded me through his actions and consistency without directly speaking to me. Just by watching his videos and read about his journey I was convinced to start my own. If I get the chance to meet with him in the future I would also ask how he maintains such humility and focus despite being world-famous and I would also ask for advice on how to stay consistent and sincere while memorizing the Quran and improving my own recitation.
