Holy Kaaba Muezzin Ibrahim Al Madani passes away in Makkah

Sheikh Ibrahim Al Madani, the muezzin at the Grand Mosque in Makkah, breathed his last in the early hours of Monday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

His final call to prayer at the Grand Mosque was the first Fajr adhan on Monday, marking his last call from Islam’s holiest mosque.

Inside the Haramain shared footage of Al Madani delivering the call in the early hours of Monday, just hours before his death.

The funeral prayer for Sheikh Ibrahim Al Madani will be held after the Asr prayer on Monday at the Grand Mosque in Makkah. He will then be laid to rest at Al Mualla Cemetery.

Born in Madinah in 1976, Sheikh Ibrahim Al Madani grew up in a religious household and was deeply influenced by his grandfather, who was a memoriser of the Quran. He later earned an academic qualification in Qur’anic Studies.

His journey as a muezzin began so early at the age of 15, when he started calling the adhan at a neighbourhood mosque in Madinah.

He continued serving as a muezzin alongside three neighbours on a rotating basis until he graduated from college before stepping away for a period due to teaching commitments outside Madinah.

In 1428 AH (2007–2008), he was invited to resume calling the adhan at Masjid Al-Maddah, where he continued until he was allowed to serve as a muezzin at the Grand Mosque in Makkah. He was formally appointed to the role in 1439 AH (2017–2018).
