Born: 1982, Karachi
Profession: Renowned Naat Khawan
Hafiz Tahir Qadri was born in a devout Memon family in Karachi. He memorized the Holy Quran at Madrasah Rizvia Noor Masjid. His Quranic education was under the guidance of Hafiz Sajjad Barkati, and he was spiritually influenced by Allama Irfan Ziai. He pledged spiritual allegiance (Bay’ah) to Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri, a spiritual successor in the Qadri Sufi order linked to Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani.
He is the father of five children and actively manages his family's textile business, though his primary passion lies in the recitation of Naat.
Hafiz Tahir Qadri began reciting Naats during his school years and quickly gained recognition by winning numerous competitions. One of his most popular Naats is "Sahara Chahiye Sarkar ﷺ". His soulful recitations have reached audiences not only in Pakistan but also in India, South Africa, UAE, the UK, and even Madinah. With a strong digital presence, he has amassed over 20 million followers on social media.
In 2021, he established the Islamic Digital Studio, which offers Islamic education, guidance, spiritual healing, children's programs, podcasts, and Naat recitation. He defines success as maintaining one's faith and serving the religion of Islam.
His long-term vision includes founding an institution that merges both religious and modern education, fostering sincerity and devotion among the Ummah. He firmly believes that sincere service to Allah positively impacts others and inspires deeper faith.
Hafiz Tahir Qadri is passionately committed to the spread of Islamic values, the art of Naat recitation, and the spiritual and educational uplift of the Muslim community worldwide.
