Saudi imam Abdulrahman Al-Sudais to deliver his first Prophet’s Mosque sermon

The General Presidency for the affairs of the Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques has announced that revered Saudi cleric Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sudais will give his first sermon during Friday prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque.

The organization made the announcement via their Twitter account on Thursday.

Al-Sudais is considered one of Islam’s most prominent reciter of the Quran. His Friday sermon will be his first as a preacher at the Prophet’s Mosque.

He was appointed as the head of the Presidency for the Two Holy Mosques at the rank of minister by a royal decree on May 8, 2012.

Al-Sudais officially became an imam in 1984, at just 22-years-old at the time and conducted his first sermon at the Grand Mosque in Mecca in July 1984.
