We are a group of reciters who regularly recite at the English Listening Centre, Husaini Islamic Centre, Wood Lane, Stanmore HA7 5LQ England. Current members are: Abbas Ali Jagani, Abul Kassim, Akberhusein Datoo, Ali Murtaza, Kassam Jaffer, Mohamed Mohamedali (Mumdu), Muhammad Datoo, Murtaza Bandali, Sajjad Jaffer, Suhayl Nasser and Wasim Fazel.

Our thanks to:
Dr. Mahmood Datoo and Sheikh Alihusain Datoo: for checking and re-checking historical accuracy – the errors that remain are entirely ours.
Mohamed Nazerali: for ensuring we have the very best recording facilities possible through Angel Studios – we knew we would get nothing less from you.
Mustafa Jaffer (President) and the entire Hujjat EC: for the steady support at all times - we rely heavily on it.
The Annex Aunties: for the invitation to recite Qasidas in English during the Miladun Nabi Program of Rabi ul Awwal 1430 (March 2009) – it spurred the creation of this CD.
Youth Azadari Drive (YAD): for continuing with the development of young reciters at the Husaini Islamic Centre – many young reciters benefit greatly from it.
Sudanese Artist Hassan Musa: for the excellent calligraphy which adorns the CD cover and more – we were spoilt for choice.
Sound Engineers Niall Acott, Mat Batram and Tom Halstead: for making us sound (just marginally!) better than we actually are – it was fun working with you.
Partners and other family members of those involved in putting this together: for ‘releasing’ us and thus making this CD possible – if this CD is in your or the family car, we take it that we are ‘released’ to work on the next VOP CD!
All those who we have not named specifically: for your encouragement and input – however small it may seem to you, it is priceless to us.

In Praise is dedicated to the mothers and fathers who nudge their young to put their voice in a composition in praise of the Almighty and the Ahlulbayt.
