Hamed Shakernejad (Persian: حامد شاکرنژاد; born in May 1983, Mashhad, Iran), is an Iranian qari (reciter of the Qur'an).[1] Shakernejad won a world qira'at competition on 15 March 1996 in Saudi Arabia. This win was followed by a gift from king Fahd of Saudi Arabia: entering the Kaaba for an hour. This was the first time that an Iranian qari had entered the Kaaba.[citation needed]

Early life

Hamed Shakernejad was born in Mashhad near the Shrine of Imam Reza.[citation needed]

Hamed and his older brother, Hameed, learnt recitation of Quran from their father and teachers at school. They began reciting at a very young age. Surprisingly, Hamed became much more famous and well known as compared to his brother Hameed.
