How the QURAN became my Life | Sheikh Samir Al Nass

Alhamdulillah. During Sheikh Samir Al Nass’ recent trip to Australia. Sheikh Ikraam Buksh & Sheikh Luqman Najib of Academy Alive had the opportunity to meet up with Sheikh Samir Al Nass to discuss his early life and how the Quran became his life.

The Sheikh has studied under some of the great 'ulama of the Levant (Shaam) and the Arabian peninsula. He has a traditional license to teach (ijazah) in the ten styles of recitation of the narration of the Shatibiyyah and the Durra from Shaykh Muhammad Sukkar. He received an ijazah in the ten styles of recitation of the narration of Tayyibah from the Egyptian Sheikh Ahmad Mustafa in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, himself a student of Shaykh Abd al-Aziz al-Zayyat of Egypt. Sheikh Samir has a traditional license to teach (ijazah) in Islamic law (fiqh) and theology and creed ('aqida) from the previous Mufti of Syria, Sheikh Abu Yusr Ibn `Abidin, Shaykh Lutfi al-Fayumi, and the late Hanafi Mufti, Sheikh Adib al-Kallas.

Sheikh Samir was honoured to study hadith in Mecca with the great Indonesian-Meccan Sheikh Yasin al-Fadani, and with Sheikh Nur ud-din `Itr of Syria. He also has an ijazah in Prophetic traditions (hadith) from the late Sheikh `Abd Allah Siraj al-Din of Aleppo, Syria.

Sheikh Samir is presently a teacher in the al-Fatih al-Islami University in Damascus, teaching the Hanafi fiqh manual Al-Hidayah in the department of Islamic Law (Shariah), and lecturer on the ten recitations of the Qur'an in the MA programme. The Sheikh teaches Qur'anic recitation (tajwid) after fajr prayers daily in the blessed mosque of Sheikh Ibn `Arabi, a post given to him by his Sheikh and father-in-law, one of the illustrious scholars of Quran in the Levant (Sham), the late Sheikh Muhammad Sukkar.
