Hafiz Karim Sahib has traveled extensively in the Muslim world, with the divine mission of bringing people to the word of Allah and the Sunna of His Beloved (peace be upon him). His travels have taken him to the United Kingdom (where he served in several mosques), Canada, Oman, Norway Saudi Arabia, and back to his native Pakistan. He has featured on many TV channels, such as Takbeer TV and PTV.

Qari Karim has served Al-Noor Masjid since 2022, where he has led the daily prayers, jumu’a prayers, Eid prayers, and more. The Muslims of Houston have been mesmerized by his Quranic recitation in Tarawih prayers, attracting easier listeners from all over Texas. He is also serving the community through his Hifz al-Quran classes at the Mosque.

Undoubtedly, Qibla Qari Karim is known internationally for his beautiful naats, that are recited from his heart and thus felt in the heart of the listener. He has taken people to Madina Tayba with his heartfelt odes.

But it is his attachment to the Quran that makes him truly unique. He started leading Tarawih prayers at the age of 18, and has led consecutively for thirty years, including the UK cities of London, Manchester, and Birmingham. He is only a handful of imams in the entire Muslim world who recite the entire Quran in fajr prayers regularly, a feat which he has completed twice at al-Noor Masjid. His recitation in prayer is astounding and meticulous, with close attention to the rules of tajwid.

Since 2018, Tarawih prayers at Al-Noor Masjid have been a special, spiritual experience, thanks to his recitation. At the same mosque, he started the “Shabeena” program (the complete recitation of the Quran in Nafl prayers at night during Ramadan) in 2021. As a result, several other huffaz of Houston have had the opportunity to read and revise their Quran.
