Surah Yaseen mp3 by Khalid AL Mohanna
Khalid AL Mohanna, whose full name is Khalid bin Sulaiman bin Abdullah Al Mohanna, is a distinguished Saudi Imam, Quran reciter, and Islamic scholar, admired for his mastery of different Quranic recitation styles (Riwayat) and his soulful, balanced voice. Born in 1976 (1396 AH) in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, he memorized the Holy Quran at a young age under the guidance of his father, who served as the president of the general court in Riyadh. He later moved to Riyadh, where he continued his education and began his lifelong journey in Quranic and Islamic studies.
He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sunnah, followed by a Master’s degree in Hidden Flaws and Knowledge of Narrators, and later completed a Ph.D. in the Differences in Hadith. These academic achievements reflect his strong dedication to Islamic scholarship and his lifelong commitment to serving the Qur’an and Sunnah.
He studied under several respected scholars, including Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz, Sheikh Abdullah bin Aqil, and Sheikh Muhammad bin Shanqiti, with whom he read in Al-Masjid An-Nabawi. Throughout his academic journey, he received multiple Ijazahs (certifications) in Quranic recitation, including Chooba and Hafs from Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Hamid Al Iskandarani, Hafs from Sheikh Ahmed Mustafa Abu Al Hassan, and Hafs Qasr Al Munfasil from Sheikh Abdul Rafii Ridwan.
After completing his higher education, he joined Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University as a lecturer in the Faculty of Usool (Islamic Foundations), where he contributed to shaping future scholars with his deep understanding of Islamic law and Hadith sciences. His journey as an Imam began at the Prince Mohammed bin Saud bin Abdul Aziz Mosque in the Hittin district of Riyadh, where his recitations gained widespread admiration for their emotional depth and precise application of Tajweed.
In recognition of his exceptional recitation and scholarship, he recorded a complete Quran at the King Fahd Quran Printing Complex, one of the world’s leading centers for Quranic preservation and distribution. His eloquent and spiritually powerful voice has often been compared to that of the legendary reciter Sheikh Muhammad Siddiq Al-Minshawi.
On June 15, 2015 (28 Sha’ban 1436 AH), King Salman issued a royal decree appointing him as a Guest Imam of Al-Masjid An-Nabawi. Later, on October 12, 2019, he was officially appointed as a permanent Imam of Al-Masjid An-Nabawi, alongside Sheikh Ahmed Al Hudhaify.
