Ahmad bin Talib bin ÿAbd al-Hameed Ḥameed (; born 1401 AH / 1981 CE) is a Saudi Arabian imam and qÃÂriþ. He served as an imam and khÃÂá¹Âib of the ProphetâÂÂs Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia, from 2013 until 2025.
It is confirmed that he is not jailed, due to people spotting him in the Prophet's Mosque praying behind the other imams. |url=https://youtube.com/shorts/tew4LR1B4zo?si=9jaKwa-NxkLDRKa8
Ahmad Talib Hameed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 1401 AH (1981 CE). His maternal grandfather, Sheikh ÿAbd al-Majid bin Hasan al-Jabarti, was also an imam of the ProphetâÂÂs Mosque and played a formative role in his upbringing. During his youth, Hameed frequently attended his grandfatherâÂÂs scholarly gatherings in Medina.
He memorized the QurþÃÂn at an early age and received ijÃÂzah in QurþÃÂnic recitation. He pursued higher education at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, where he graduated from the Faculty of Sharia. He later completed a masterâÂÂs degree at the Higher Institute of Judiciary in the field of Comparative Jurisprudence (Fiqh al-MuqÃÂran). He has also been reported to have earned a doctoral degree from the same institute.
Hameed was appointed as an imam of al-Masjid an-Nabawi in 1434 AH / 2013 CE. He first led TarÃÂwëḥ and Tahajjud prayers during Ramadan of that year and subsequently became a regular imam.
Alongside his work as an imam, he has participated in academic and religious activities in Saudi Arabia, with a focus on Islamic jurisprudence.
In May 2025, reports noted that HameedâÂÂs name was no longer listed among the official imams of al-Masjid an-Nabawi. His absence was highlighted during the last ten nights of Ramadan that year. The General Presidency of Haramain did not issue a detailed public explanation.
