Description

Sheikh Muhammad Ayyub رحمه الله was a renowned reciter and scholar of the Qur’an, known for his powerful and deeply moving recitation style. Born in Mecca in 1952 to a poor Rohingya family who had migrated from Burma (Myanmar), he memorised the Qur’an at a young age and went on to pursue Islamic studies at the Islamic University of Madinah, eventually earning a PhD in tafsir (Qur’anic exegesis). He served as an imam of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah during the 1990s, where his recitations during Ramadan left a lasting impact on millions around the world. Sheikh Muhammad Ayyub was known not only for his mastery of tajweed and beautiful voice but also for his humility, sincerity, and deep connection to the Qur’an. He passed away in 2016, leaving behind a legacy of devotion and inspiration for generations of Muslims.
