Leading the Recitation
Sister Aaliyah
Sister Aaliyah is the sister of Shaykh As'ad Ali and leads the recitation of the Burdah Sharif every Monday at Imdadiyyah in Sheffield — a gathering that has become a weekly anchor of love for the Messenger ﷺ for sisters in the city.
On this tour she carries that same devotion from city to city, guiding the qasidah verse by verse so that every sister, whether familiar with the Burdah or hearing it for the first time, can join her voice with confidence.
