Khalid Ibrahim Thani, who is from Nigeria, is a student of Egypt’s Al-Azhar University.

He performed the beautiful recitation during a ceremony held by the Abul Ainaian Charity and the Al-Azhar Alumni International Organization to honor the winners of an international Quran contest held by the university, el-Balad reported.

He recited Verses 9-15 of Surah Al-Isra during the ceremony:

“This Quran shows the way to that which is the most upright and gives to the righteous believers the glad news of a great reward.

(It also declares) that for the disbelievers We have prepared a painful torment in the life to come.

People pray as earnestly to gain evil as one should to gain virtue. But people are hasty.

We have made the day and night each as evidence (of Our existence). The night is invisible and the day is visible so that you may seek favors from your Lord and determine the number of years and mark the passing of time. For everything We have given a detailed explanation.

We have made every person's actions cling to his neck. On the Day of Judgment, We will bring forth the record of his actions in the form of a wide open book.

Read your book; your own self is sufficient as a reckoner against you this day.

Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright; and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he go astray: nor can the bearer of a burden bear the burden of another, nor do We chastise until We raise a messenger.”
