Shaykh Mu'nis KhalifaShaykh Mu’nis began his pursuit of sacred knowledge at a young age, memorizing the Qur’an in Pakistan under the guidance of his distinguished teacher, Qari Allah Bakhsh Naqshbandi. His journey took him across the Islamic world—from Yemen, where he graduated from Dar al-Mustafa, to Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond—studying with over a hundred scholars from more than fifteen countries. He has earned recognition and honors in Qur’anic competitions in Pakistan, Jordan, and Yemen.
Among his teachers are luminaries such as Habib Umar bin Hafidh, Habib Ali Zain al-Rabadeen al-Jazriq, and Shaykh Abdul Kareem Mudarris, the Mufti of Iraq. He has obtained close to a thousand ijāzahs, connecting him to a vast network of scholarship that reaches back closely to the Prophet ﷺ. He has studied multiple riwāyāt of the Qur’an, including Ḥafṣ and Shuʿbah, and has been granted ijāzahs in the hadith collections with a sanad that is only a few generations away from Imam al-Bukhari. |
