The funeral prayer for the Muadhin of Masjid Al Haram, Sheikh Ibrahim Al Madani (May Allah have mercy on him), was led after Asr today at Masjid Al Haram.
Shaykh Ibrahim bin Adel Hamzah Al-Madani was born in Madinah on 8 Dhul-Hijjah 1397H, he grew up in a religious household and studied Qur’anic Studies.
His maternal grandfather was a Hafiz of the Qur’an and had a great influence on his upbringing.
His journey with the Adhan began remarkably early. At just 15 years old, he began calling the Adhan at his local masjid in Madinah. He later continued as a Muadhin at Masjid al-Maddah before Allah honoured him with appointment as a Muadhin of Masjid al-Haram in Ramadan 1439H (2018).
Although a son of Madinah and influenced by its traditional style of Adhan, he also learnt the Makkan style through his connection with the late Shaykh Abdul Latif Mulla, a former Muadhin of Masjid al-Haram. His beautiful and distinctive voice became familiar to millions through the Adhan and the Takbeerat of the Haram.
But perhaps even more beautiful was what took place away from the microphones.
One of the muezzins of the Haram said that Shaykh Ibrahim would sometimes remain for days in the Mukabbariyyah, hardly leaving it, devoting himself to worship particularly during the final part of the night.
Those who knew him described him as a man of remarkable ‘ibadah, devotion and closeness to Allah.
He passed away at dawn on Monday, 10 Rabi‘ al-Thani 1448H, at approximately 48 years of age.
His Janazah will be prayed in Masjid al-Haram, and he will be laid to rest in Jannat al-Mu‘allah.
A life that began with the Adhan in Madinah at 15, and ended after years of calling millions to the prayer from the House of Allah.
May Allah accept every Adhan he called, every hidden act of worship in the depths of the night, forgive his shortcomings, raise his ranks in Jannatul Firdaws and make the voices he called towards Salah a witness for him on the Day of Judgement.
🕊️ INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAYHI RAJI’UN

May Allah forgive him, have mercy on him, and grant him the highest level of Jannatul Firdaus. 🤲🏽🕋
May his Adhan be a witness for him on the Day of Judgment. Ameen. 🤍

O believers! When the call to prayer is made on Friday, then proceed diligently to the remembrance of Allāh and leave off your business. That is best for you, if only you knew.
Once the prayer is over, disperse throughout the land and seek the bounty of Allāh. And remember Allāh often so you may be successful.
[Sūrah al-Jumuʿah, verse 9-10]
Narrated by Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On it, Adam was created; on it, he was admitted into Paradise; and on it, he was expelled from it.”
[Sahih Muslim, 854a]
