Ibrahim ibn Adil al-Madani

Ibrahim ibn Adil ibn Hamza al-Madani (1974 – 21 September 2026) was a Saudi muezzin and teacher, a muezzin of the Masjid al-Haram from 2018 until his death. ^{1 2}

He was born in Medina in 1974 into a religious household, shaped above all by his grandfather, a hafiz of the Qur'an; he studied the Qur'anic sciences and took a university degree in Qur'anic studies. ¹

At fifteen he began calling the adhan at his neighbourhood mosque in Medina, taking turns with three neighbours until he finished university; after a break while he taught outside the city he returned in 1428 AH/2007 as muezzin of the Maddah Mosque in Medina, where he stayed until he moved to the Haram. ¹

He was formally appointed a muezzin of the Masjid al-Haram on 14 May 2018 in a group of new muezzins and gave his first adhan there on Tuesday 6 Ramadan 1439 AH, becoming one of about twenty-four principal muezzins, six of whom share the five daily calls and the first dawn call each day. ^{1 2}

His charge was the dawn adhan and the takbirat, and he served as a relayer (muballigh), repeating the imam's calls and movements to the congregation during the prayer. ¹

He died before dawn on Monday 10 Rabi' II 1448, 21 September 2026, aged about 51; he was prayed over after the afternoon prayer at the Masjid al-Haram and buried at al-Ma'la cemetery in Mecca. ¹
