For over a decade, Dr. Abdullah Allam, a consultant surgeon at King Fahd Hospital in Medina, has led a dual life of healing and teaching.

Following the passing of his mother twelve years ago, he committed to honoring her deepest wish: that he teach the Quran within the Prophet's Mosque.

He now balances demanding surgical shifts, sometimes lasting twelve hours, with evening lessons on the complex Ten Qira'at (recitation styles).

He described the challenge of managing his medical responsibilities alongside this spiritual commitment, noting that even during a previous term as hospital director, he maintained his teaching schedule.

> "It's challenging, but it's a blessing from Allah," he explained.
