Default Imam-e-Haram Sheikh Shuraim's Interview


I have taken this from haramainrecordings.com

What was your method in memorizing the Book of Allah? And how long did it take you to memorize it?
My method for memorizing was memorizing/revising on my own since there were no halaqas for memorizing the Qur’an wide spread, nor was there any commitment to a disciplined method for memorizing the Qur’an. So I was not given a specific amount for memorizing. Perhaps sometimes I memorized a whole hizb in one day and other times I memorized a part of a page but the period for memorizing did not exceed 6 months and it was the year 1404

When was your first khutbah and how did you prepare for it?
My first khutbah was in the month of Shawwal and it was the first Friday of the month. My preparation was easy as the subject of the khutbah is heard a lot and it (the subject) was continuing good deeds after Ramadhan and being steadfast on obeying.

What is the method in the opinion of the Sheikh to memorize the Qur’an Al-Kareem?
There isn’t a specific method that a person must adhere to for memorizing/preserving the Quran since abilities vary and people are not equal (not the same) in memorizing as they are not the same in saving time. What I think is that every person should evaluate his conditions and recognize his abilities and then construct a method appropriate for him in memrozing over a period of time. But I am stressing that reading a lot the Qur’an directly from the Mushaf is among the biggest reasons calling to memorizing it quickly and thus listenting to it on the radio.

We find that Sheikh Saud has many of his lectures in the Kingdom and we notice a few of his lectures are not shown on TV..what is the reason?
(Please translate answer)


What are the reasons for the appointment of a lot of Imams?
The Haraam needs a sufficient number of Imams to look over its status and importance and the need to provide a sufficient number to cover the times and events which are the causes of the need for their presence in the Haraam

Sheikh Saud has traveled to a number of countries for the call to Allah .. tell us May Allah protect you about your trips to the call..
The talk about travels is long and this is not the place (to discuss) its details but I can mention from the countrires which I have visited for the purpose of an official invitation (Britian, Scotland, Indonesia, South Africa, Rais Al-Khayma, Sharjah, Qatar)

Does Sheikh Saud continue the gathering of duroos in the Haraam now? And What is the Duroos on
The Duroos (lessons) have stopped for now because of academic commitments. As for the Duroos which have been delivered in Masjid Al-Haraaam, they are 1) explanation of the >>>> 2) Explanations of Abbreviations in Fiqh 3) Explanations of the fundamentals of >>> 4) Explanations of the >>> of Ibn Abee Dawood 5) explanations of >>>>> 6) Explanations of the system of >>>>> in science of Qur’an and Principles of Tafseer 7) Explanations of >>>>>> 8) Explanations of >>>>>

What is the reason for so few qunoots in the past years in Ramadhan?
The reason for that is that my desire is not for qunoot

Why do you answer (Allah preserve you) with uncertainty against the seeking Shari knowledge under the pretext of fear from being unable to applying knowledge based on the Hadith of Jabir bin Zaid where the Propet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: (rought translation: Woe upon he who knows but does not practice seven times and woe on he knows not and practices not once)
This hadith is not especially for seeking knowledge rather it includes everything you know from the commandments of the religion thus it (the hadith) is not in accordance with it, hence there is no excuse to escape from the Shari knowledge of this hadith.

We have noticed recently in the past, the absence of Sheikh Muhammad As-Subbayl from Imamat in Al-Haraam…what is the reason?
I am not informed with the apparent reason for that except that the Sheikh (May Allah guard him and protect him) has advanced in age and perhaps ……….

What do you say, May Allah bless you, about the one who describes the Khutbahs of Sheikh Saud Ash-Shuraim as difficult?
I don’t know what is to be difficult because who is to determine difficulty? But we agree that minds are different and understading vary great for that reason we say a difficult khutbah is that which we can not understand at first or we are not able to determine what is being said. As for the appearance of some western words with the knowledge originating in this subject, this is apparent. You read the verses of the Qur’an and you know it is about Jannah and its pleases but you do not know some of its descriptions in detail.

In your opinion, Is there a lack of preachers to guide young people?
Yes, there are few important exerting preachers who exert because preaching can not occur with who we have (i.e. the number of preachers are not sufficient)

Is there a Qari or Khateeb whom you love to listen to?
I listen to a lot of the Qaris and Khateebs but I do not have a specific one for listening but what appears on the radio.

What is hardest position which you still hang to in your opinion? And are there any positions for you with the Ulama?
The hardest standing is that many forget one another but do not bring me anything at this time. I do now know what the positions with the Ulama are, but do you want an embarrassing position or a specific position or a position for all circumstances which is not without an inherent position of the ulama

His last words….this is the commandment for all Imams which is a hadith of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him [more or less: (Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock)]. So all the rulers and scholars and ministers and fathers and mothers and questionnaires should fear Allah in and should aspire to summon the law of Allah in all aspects of their lives in order to be happy in the Hereafter and Allah.

Few parts missing ,it will be great if someone can translate it.

This is an interview with SS published in a Qatari newspaper "Al watan"so today our guest is Sheikh Saud bin Ibrahim al Shuraim.he is imam and khateeb of masjid al haram,a very prominent personality of the islamic world, a dignified researcher in fiqh,a judge and a poet,he has many trips in many countries,he is a good writer,has written many books on aqeedah and stuff....well the recitation of quran kareem in his melodious voice is very famous and there may not beany muslim home where he is not listen to...so lets start ...1st
Q:what were your feelings when you were made the imam of the haram al makky?
SS says:My acceptance as an imam of haram was not something that was surprise and happened at once rather it was a long process,it took much time...and before being appointed as an imam,i used to dream of being so and indeed it is a great blessing of Allah (SWT) to be an imam of haram .i ask Him to guide me on the path of gratefulness..

2nd Q:you people give khutbah in haram,so how do you compose it and how do you deliever?
SS says:there is no particular way for it,moreover the khutbah are often delievered according to the circumstances/current affairs...and for me, it is just once in a month when i have to give khutbah and it doesnt mean that i have such a long time to compose it because i dont know the topic unless the imam before me has given his khutbah as the khutbah is related to the previous one...moreover it is necessary to avoid such a situation that i may repeat the previous topics...i remember what Abdul Malik bin Marwan said"the manabir(probably giving khotab)has made me old..imagine that about a person who was a caliph and had excellent oratory skills!so what about a person who is much more less efficient?the matter needs assistance from Allah (swt).

3rd Q: it is seen that Dr. Saud does not deleiver much public lectures and stuff....whats the reason?would you plz explain?
SS says:yes you are right and this is because i am too busy and i dont leave Makkah due to imamah and i consider my friday khutbah as a public lecture.as far as my lectures out of the K.S.A are concerned ,they are much more in number than the lectures in the KSA.and i give religious sermons at masjid al haram three days in a week after fajr salah from the books(mentioned in the arabic text)

4th Q:were you influenced by some particular qari(reciter) or khateeb?what do you think when you listen to the reciters who copy you?

SS says:no,i am not influenced by some particular khateeb...but sometimes i like some of the khutab by some khateebs.and as for reciters i am not influenced by some particular reciter..and i have no objection on the ones who copy me but i think one should not follow/copy some reciter instead one should make ones own way of reciting...
5th q: Memorisation of quran and its recitation have a great impact on the khotab?so when did you complete your hifz and to whom you are indebted to in this regard?
SS says:i completed my hifz in the last years of sec. school and it was due to my struggle after the grace of Allah..and after hifz i even did the revision myself...didnt acquire assistance from the shuyookh except in the normal classes at uni.So i thank to allah (swt)

6th Q:whats the role of Dr.Saud's wife in his academical and da3awi success?
SS says:before i say something about my wife, i cant forget my mothers love and mercy for me in my childhood and youth as well.as she raised me in orphanage in childhood...her love is a tonic for me.May Allah shower His mercy upon her as she did with me when i was a child.and as for my wife, she has proven herself to be a best companion for me in happiness and sorrow..she is there when i need her.cheers me up and tries her best to lighten my sorrows.May Allah include this in her good deeds.
