Fares Abd Rabbuh Muhammad Abbad (born 11 April 1980) is a Yemeni reciter and imam whose recitation is broadcast on Al-Majd Quran channel; he leads prayers at the al-Shab Abdullah ibn Badr al-Suwaidan Mosque in the Doha district of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. ^{1 2}

In his own account, quoted by the article, he memorised the Qur'an as a boy in the memorisation schools of several mosques, until the charitable society for Qur'an memorisation opened model circles at the Bilal ibn Rabah Mosque on Hail Street in Sanaa, first taught by Fadl Abdullah Murad, where he completed the Qur'an. ¹

He led the tarawih at the Bilal ibn Rabah Mosque from 1994 for seven years and recorded the complete Qur'an in Yemen; Al-Qadisiyya Recordings in Dammam took the rights and spread it, followed by Al-Majd channel and radio stations. In 2006 he was asked to come to Saudi Arabia as imam of the Ali ibn Abi Talib (may God be pleased with him) Mosque in Dhahran. ¹

Besides the complete Qur'an he has recorded the ruqya, the morning and evening adhkar, al-Qahtani's Nuniyya (686 lines) and Ibn al-Qayyim's prologue on the description of Paradise. He mentions a new rendering of 'Hisn al-Muslim' and a versified teaching text prepared with a poet, which he describes as a scholarly text, not a nasheed. ¹
