Arsalan Riyaz Chatt

However, Arsalan's thirst for knowledge knew no bounds. He made the decision to leave his professional career behind and embarked on a journey to acquire Islamic knowledge. His endeavour led him to learn the Arabic language, learning from scholars both within and outside his homeland.

In 2018, he honed his Quranic recitation skills, practicing Nāzirah (recitation with tajwīd) under the guidance of scholars such as Shaykh Sameer Lotfy from Egypt and Shaykh Muhammad Hussain from Bangladesh. Two years later, in 2020, he completed the memorization of the Qur'an (hifdh) under the tutelage of Mufti Nazir (Db). Arsalan's dedication to Tajwīd, the art of Quranic recitation, reflects through his in-depth lecture series on YouTube. Through these videos, he imparts the intricacies of Tajwīd, making the Quran's melodious and accurate recitation accessible to all.

Continuing his academic pursuits, Arsalan is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Islamic Studies from the International Open University and a Master's degree in Arabic from IGNOU.

In addition to his academic endeavors, Arsalan is a writer with several articles in the field of Islamic Sciences published in local dailies. His dedication to sharing knowledge will soon culminate in his first book, which is set to grace the shelves, In sha Allah.

In addition to his academic endeavors, he passionately teaches Arabic language and delivers lectures in local circles, inspiring Muslim youth to embrace their responsibilities as Muslims and contribute positively to their communities. Arsalan has an active social media presence, with thousands of followers eagerly engaging with him as he shares his knowledge and insights regularly. His dedication to sharing knowledge extends beyond the printed page, enriching the lives of many online.

He delves passionately into the realms of Islamic sciences, embracing the wisdom of ages. The intricate tapestry of Arabic language and literature weaves a spell on his heart, an enchantment that transcends time. Amidst the cadence of words, he finds solace in the lyrical world of poetry, where emotions dance in elegant verses. Yet, his passions are not confined to the ethereal. With a mechanic's touch, he unravels the secrets of machinery, orchestrating symphonies of movement in the realm of automobiles. But the call of the wild also beckons him. He answers with a resounding echo, venturing into the untamed heart of nature. Trekking becomes his odyssey, a journey of discovery where every step is a chapter of exploration. And when the paths fade, he becomes one with the untamed earth through offroading, embracing the challenge of uncharted terrains with a fearless spirit that roars like thunder.
