    I hope everyone is in the best health and emaan during this blessed month.

    Does anyone know who the old man is behind the Imam at the Haram, he has a white beard and quite frail and old, he is in a wheel chair this year, alhamdulillah may Allah grant him strength. He is always there who is he?

    Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
    Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar

    It's nice watching taraweeh in Ramadan every year and seeing him again. MashaAllah he's so old yet he still strives. A lesson for our young brothers on the forum.

    wa alaikum assalam

    This is the second year that he is in the wheel chair.

    Masha'Allah, may Allah give him strength! No idea as to who he is.

    So that everyone inside the Masjid and outside can hear it. Some people far out might not be able to hear the Imam say it, so they have another person repeat it after so they can hear. Also, maybe for the people on the top floor if they cant hear the Imam.

    Ever since this thread was started I have been trying to find his identity. I suspect he is very humble and has no need for his identity to be public.
