Qari Ibrahim completed his memorisation of the Holy Quran by the age of 12 in London, UK, under the guidance of his father, also a Qari, who gained his qualifications in Mansoura, Egypt. Unfortunately, due to lifestyle choices, Qari Ibrahim forgot his Quran by age 15 while pursuing a career in professional football. Having been accepted for a two-year scholarship at a well-known football academy, Ibrahim had a big choice to make: sacrifice his dreams for one year to relearn his Quran or try to balance the two. Alhamdulillah, Allah guided him to take one year out to study in a boarding school to relearn his Quran.
From that year onwards, Ibrahim made a promise to himself that he would never let the memory of the Quran fade and committed to making it his life mission to be able to recite the Quran and teach others the same, Inshallah.
