Shaykh Okasha Bio

Shaykh Okasha  completed memorization of the Holy Qur’ān at the age of 12 years  together with the recognition of applications of the rules of Tajweed. His love for the Book of Allāh let him to memorize the Qur’ān in the 10 Qira’āt and he received Ijāzah in them. The Shaykh always had a sharp memory and from a young age was introduced to the disciplines of memorizing the various texts; this was both due to the environment and the guidance of his Shuyukh; the simple village life and economic conditions of the time meant books of knowledge were not readily available amongst the students. This encouraged the Shaykh to memorise the texts knowing that he could not afford his own personal copy. After completing the Holy Qur’ān the Shaykh memorised Sahih Al Bukhāri, Sahih Muslim, and continued to memorize many other classical texts.
