Kumayl Alloo (/ˈkuˈmeɪɫ ˈɔɫˈɫu/; Arabic: كُمَيْل أَللو; Urdu: كميل أللو; Gujarati-Kutchi: કુમાયલ એલુ; Hindi: कुमैल आलू; romanized: Kumaīl Allū) is a Tanzanian-American qāriʾ (Arabic: قارئ, lit. 'Qur'an reciter') and research scholar. Distinguished by his unique and melodious qira'at (Arabic: قراءات, lit. 'styles of recitation'), his achievements in recent Qur'an competitions have garnered both national and international acclaim.[1][2][3]
Education
Alloo graduated from the High School for Math, Science and Engineering at City College in 2021 as valedictorian,[4] subsequently matriculating at Columbia University on a full, four-year scholarship.[5] He then became the only student in his cohort at Columbia to have been admitted into medical school as a college sophomore—two years before the traditional, pre-medical timeframe.[6][7] He is currently a student-athlete at Columbia University and a researcher at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in Manhattan, New York,[8][9] with academic interests in neurodegeneration, clinical medicine, cognitive neuroscience, Islamic theology, and Arabic linguistics.[10][11] He speaks English, Spanish, Kutchi, Swahili, Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati, as well as Classical, Modern-Standard, and Maghrebi registers of Arabic.[12][13]
Qur'an Recitation
A three-time National Champion and World Champion qāriʾ, Alloo's achievements in numerous Qur'an competitions— coupled with his unique and melodious qira'at—have garnered national and international recognition alike.[1][3] Notably, he won the National IMAM Qur'an Competition in 2019,[1] the National Al-Qadr Qur'an Competition in 2020, and the National IMAM Qur'an Competition again in 2021.[2] Then in 2022, he won 1st place in the Global Iqra' (اقرأ) Qur'an Recitation Competition held annually in Ontario, Canada—becoming the first Tanzanian-American to do so.[3]
He has since judged on numerous tarteel and hifz competitions and has been invited to teach qira'at and tajweed across North American madāris.[14] In 2023, Columbia University's Islamic Center appointed him a Muqri' (Arabic: مُقْرِئ, lit. 'reciter') and Mu'addhin (Arabic: مُؤَذِّن, lit. 'caller'), positions he continues to maintain.[15] He regularly recites religious texts, delivers sermons, and leads prayers for the university's Muslim community as well.[16][17]
Research
In addition to Qur'an recitation, Alloo conducts peer-reviewed, scientific research, centered mostly around neurodegeneration and behavioral neuroscience.[18][19] His most recent works have focused on brain development and deterioration in Parkinson's Disease and Huntington's Disease—common age-related, neurodegenerative disorders.[20][21][22]
