Muhammad Ayyub Asif

At the age of the 12, Mohammad Ayyub Asif is an accomplished reciter, or Qari’ of the Qur’an. He represents the UK in international competitions, has made an appearance at the Royal Albert Hall, and has appeared on television. At one event in Karachi he recited to a crowd of over 100,000. Mohammed was just 3 years old when he started reading the Qur’an, and was initially taught by his grandfather who is also a Qari’. Mohammed attends Harrow High school, is an avid football fan, and hopes to one day become a Qari’ like the legendary Egyptian reciter Muhammad Abdul Basit.
