47 minMay 18, 20231K views

He memorized 15 Juz by himself in college. Then he went to Turkey and Egypt to go deeper. Way deeper. Adeeb Zaman's Quran journey spans three countries, two decades, and ten styles of recitation. In this interview, he walks through every chapter: from his Guyanese-American upbringing and daily post-Fajr memorization routine, to studying Arabic with displaced Syrian scholars in Istanbul, to the grueling multi-year certification process for the Ten Qira'at in Cairo.
