Hamed Shakernejad (Persian: حامد شاکرنژاد; born in April 1983, Mashhad, Iran), is an Iranian qari (reciter of the Qur'an). Shakernejad won a world qira'at competition on 15 March 1996 in Saudi Arabia. This win was followed by a gift from king Fahd of Saudi Arabia: entering the Kaaba for an hour. This was the first time that an Iranian qari had entered the Kaaba.

Early life

Hamed Shakernejad was born in Mashhad near the Shrine of Imam Reza.

Hamed and his older brother, Hameed, learnt recitation of Quran from their father and teachers at school. They began reciting at a very young age. Surprisingly, Hamed became much more famous and well known as compared to his brother Hameed.
