One of the qaris taking part in the plan is Kuchar Omar Ali, an internationally acclaimed qari from the Iraqi Kurdistan Region.

He sent IQNA a recording containing his recitation of verses 1-7 of Surah al-Qalam (68):

“Nun. By the pen and by what you write, (Muhammad), you are not insane, thanks to the bounty of your Lord. You will certainly receive a never-ending reward. And most surely you conform (yourself) to sublime morality. So you shall see, and they (too) shall see, Which of you is afflicted with madness. Surely your Lord best knows him who errs from His way, and He best knows the followers of the right course.”

Kuchar Omar Ali is the director of Quran Recitation and Adhan at the Iqra Quranic Center in Sulaymaniyah. He is also the president of an international Quran recitation festival named Khaal.

Born in 1982 in Sulaymaniyah, he is a pediatrician by profession.
