He served as an official Quran reciter at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. He also taught Arabic at Hebron University and in schools in Jerusalem and Hebron.

Early life and career

Muhammad Rashad Al-Sharif was born in Hebron, Mandatory Palestine, in 1925. He studied Quranic recitation under Sheikh Hussein Ali Abu Sneineh, who granted him ijazah in the Hafs 'an Asim and Warsh methods of recitation. By the age of eighteen, he had mastered Quranic recitation and was influenced by the style of the Egyptian reciter Muhammad Rifat. In the early 1940s, Al-Sharif began reciting on Radio Jerusalem after being recommended by the Mufti of Hebron. In 1966, he was appointed as an official Quran reciter at Al-Aqsa Mosque, where he alternated his recitation duties with his service at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.[5][6][7]
