Sheikh Ali Al Hudhaify has been appointed as the new Chief Imam of Masjid An Nabawi in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

Sheikh Ali Al Hudhaify, known for his deep knowledge of the Quran and his eloquent recitation, brings decades of experience to this position.

He also serves as a senior imam and khateeb at various mosques across Saudi Arabia. His appointment follows the retirement of the former Chief Imam, who served the mosque for over two decades.

Masjid An Nabawi holds immense historical and spiritual significance for Muslims worldwide. It is the final resting place of the [Prophet Muhammad](https://theislamicinformation.com/blogs/character-of-prophet-muhammad-pbuh/) (PBUH) and has been a center of Islamic learning and worship for centuries.
