The year-long project involved careful coordination with a specialised technical team and experts in Quranic readings and tajweed. The initiative aims to offer high-quality recitations that meet audience expectations locally and internationally while helping participants realise their dreams of recording complete recitations under their names.
Ali Salah Omar is a renowned reciter known for leading prayers at Al-Fateh Mosque in Bahrain. He is proficient in several styles of recitation and is admired for his emotionally resonant voice. Sheikh Ezzedine Al Awami, Imam and preacher at Al Ulfah Mosque in Al Khan, Sharjah, has recently emerged as a promising voice, especially during Tarawih prayers, with his devout performance and clear vocal tone.
The project was launched based on a public poll conducted via social media, where the two reciters topped the list of voices people wanted to hear in complete recitations. This reflects the station's commitment to engaging with its audience and allowing them to influence content selection.
The project spanned a full year, involving precise stages of recording, editing, and production. Certified experts in Quranic readings and audio engineering oversaw the project. Recordings took place in the station’s studios under the supervision of scholars in recitation and maqamat. After artistic editing and sound adjustment, materials were submitted to a specialised committee led by Sheikh Taher Al-Asyouti for final approval in line with tajweed rules and technical standards.
Reciters go through a rigorous selection process, with their test recordings assessed by a committee that includes representatives from the Holy Quran Academy in Sharjah, the Department of Islamic Affairs, Al Qasimia University, the Sharjah Noble Quran and Sunnah Establishment, and the station itself. The committee unanimously approves recitations to ensure the highest quality and compliance.
Both reciters praised the project for its knowledgeable team, which was well-versed in vocal maqamat as well as technical aspects. This contributed to a harmonious recording environment. They also appreciated the scheduling flexibility and the calm, respectful atmosphere that fostered devout and sincere recitation.
Khalifa Hassan Khalaf, Director of Sharjah Quran TV & Radio, expressed pride in the project and commended the dedicated efforts of the engineers, supervisors, and scholars involved. He announced preparations for a new recitation by Salman Abdulaziz Al-Nefaie and revealed an ambitious plan to produce five more full recitations by 2026, bringing the total to 17.
Khalil Al Hammadi, the Quran recording monitor and review supervisor, emphasised that the recordings were treated as a comprehensive project subject to strict quality control. He stressed the importance of precision, adherence to approved recitation methods, and collaboration with the reciters in a tranquil environment conducive to spiritual delivery. He highlighted the religious and media responsibility to uphold the highest standards.
This project continues the station’s mission to produce exclusive Quranic recitations, which have received significant public engagement. His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, honoured the reciters last year and emphasised the importance of such initiatives. He urged continued support for talented voices in service of the Quran.
With this achievement, Sharjah Quran Radio and TV strengthen its status as a specialised and credible media platform for high-quality Quranic recitations. The station aspires to be a key reference in this field, reflecting Sharjah’s cultural role and serving the spiritual message of the Quran to Muslim audiences worldwide.
