the biography :

Reader Muhammad Al-Irawi

At the end of the seventies of the last century, and on February 6, 1977, Mohamed Irrawi was a guest in one of the tribes in the Sidi Bennour region, and there the little boy joined the village scribes after he became a child who was able to walk, where “as fate would have it, the Imam says, I would fulfill for my father a commandment that his father, who is my grandfather, had passed on to me, relating to memorizing the Holy Qur’an. Faced with his inability to fulfill his father’s will, the father transferred the task to his son. Imam Riyad Al-Ulfah, from an early age, showed an unparalleled passion for the Holy Qur’an, and at that moment the child remained secluded in the town’s book, with nothing to worry about memorizing and drawing the Holy Qur’an, devoting his early years to this task that his father was unable to achieve. It was as if Ahmed felt the spirit of challenge and responsibility placed on his shoulders and saw no horizon before his eyes other than appearing one day, which he wished soon, before his father, a memorizer of the Book of God.

When he was just over ten years old, he had completed the third cycle of memorizing the Qur’an at the hands of his first sheikh. Desiring expansion and diversity, our guest moved under the supervision of another sheikh to complete the fourth seal of the Book of God at his hands, while he completed the fifth seal, which is the conclusion, at the hands of another sheikh. He was about 14 years old at the time. The new jurist no longer felt the capacity of his town, which had given him the Qur’an by memorization, so he decided to leave his town in Sidi Bennour to the city of El Jadida, the capital of his largest tribe, Doukkala. He landed in 1991 at the Cadi Ayyad Secondary School for Ancient Education, and was enrolled directly in the preparatory sections, considering that he had memorized the Qur’an. There he continued his studies amid great interest from his teachers, who had taken him as an imam behind whom they would pray Tarawih prayers every Ramadan, out of admiration. With his sweet voice.

While he resides in El Jadida, Ibn Sidi Bennour did not forget the voices of famous reciters that the tribe’s mosque used to broadcast every Friday morning. At that time, the boy Irawi doubted that he had reached the levels of sophistication in reading the Qur’an, to the point of being classified as an adult.

The dream began to tickle the imagination, and Cadi Ayyad High School in El Jadida was no longer able to accommodate the aspirations of the young man Doukkali, who has a voice known for his sweetness, and who only needs a quick polishing process in one of the specialized centers. After a little research, our friend found the address of one of the schools specialized in Tajweed and recitations in Rabat. It is the Abdelhamid Ihsain School. He joined it immediately after obtaining his preparatory education certificate from the Old School of Education in El Jadida in 1994.

In Rabat, Irawi got to know many skilled reciters and learned the sciences of Tajweed from them. He kept mentioning the names of some of his sheikhs who had died, such as Muhammad Berbish, Ahmad al-Zayani, and Ahmad al-Sharqawi. The latter was a professor at the Abd al-Hamid Ihsayen School and its director, and people from the residents of Adwatain used to come to him during Ramadan and ask him for permission for one of his students with good recitations to lead the worshipers in Tarawih prayers.

The Qaryoun neighborhood mosque in Al-Akkari, Rabat, was the first mosque in which Muhammad Ahmed Irawi performed Tarawih prayers by order of his sheikh. He later joined many of the capital’s mosques, the most important of which are the Industrial District Mosque, the Great Jami’ Mosque in the Youssoufieh neighborhood, and the famous Sunna Mosque, in which one of the benefactors happened to pray one Ramadan. When he was impressed by the imam’s reading, he called him and offered him the imamate in the Idrissa Mosque located in the Sidi Ma’rouf neighborhood in Casablanca.

After consulting his teachers, Irawi decided to finally travel to Al-Bayda and come there as an official imam. In 2005, our sheikh decided to move from the Idrisah Mosque to Riad Al-Alfa Mosque, for reasons that our guest did not want to discuss, saying only that they were private reasons. Today, he is an imam in this mosque and a Friday preacher in the Imam Malik Mosque in Kasbah Al-Amin.

Abu Umaima combined his leadership of people in mosques with academic achievement, as in 2007 he added, to his balance of certificates, also a baccalaureate degree, specializing in authentic education. Away from academic study, the imam of Riad Al-Alfa Mosque continues to research and explore knowledge and its sources wherever they are found.

Abu Umaima, Osama and Ayoub have won many awards, but the most important of all remains the Mohammed VI National Award for memorizing and reciting the Qur’an, which he won in 2003 after winning first place, after which he was able to accompany his parents to perform the Hajj rituals. Three years later, our friend won second place in the Mohammed VI International Award for Memorization and Tajweed of the Qur’an, and before that and that, Muhammad Ahmed Irawi represented Morocco in many meetings abroad, such as the Grand Competition in Mecca and the International Competition in Malaysia.
