Biography

Sheikh Abu Bakr Al-Shatri (b. 1970, Jeddah) is a Jeddah-born Quran reciter of Yemeni descent who studied Quranic recitation under Sheikh Ayman Rushdi Suwayd and holds an ijazah in the Hafs 'an 'Asim narration. He has recorded the complete Quran twice, in 1988 and again in 2006, and serves as imam of the al-Furqan Mosque in Jeddah.

How to recognise Sheikh Abu Bakr Al-Shatri's voice

Two things tend to place Abu's voice: an emotive delivery that lingers on verses of mercy and warning; and a deep, weighty register that carries in a large hall. That is our own listening note to help you place the voice, not a sourced biographical claim.
