Al-Sudais has preached Islam's opposition to "explosions and terrorism" and has called for peaceful inter-faith dialogue, but also been sharply criticized for vilifying non-Muslims and especially Jews in his sermons. He has denounced the treatment of Palestinians by Israeli settlers and the state of Israel, and called for more aid to be sent to Palestinians. He has also been noted for identifying women's un-Islamic behavior as in part responsible for the winter 2006 drought in Saudi Arabia. In 2016, he delivered the very important Hajj sermon to a multitude of pilgrims gathered at Arafat after prayers.

In 2005, Al-Sudais was named by the Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA) Organising Committee as its 9th annual "Islamic Personality Of the Year" in recognition of his devotion to the Quran and Islam. When accepting his award in Dubai, he said: "The message of Islam and Muslims is modesty, fairness, security, stability, sympathy, harmony and kindness."
From 2010 to 2012, he visited India, Pakistan, Malaysia and Britain. Among his activities has been hosting a seminar at the Higher Institute for Advanced Islamic Studies in Malaysia in 2011, where he spoke about Islamic civilization against the backdrop of modern challenges.

Since when did i like him, and why?
First of all, i know him when i was a child (about 10 years old if i was not mistaken)
At that time, my cousin played a Quran recitation from his handphone. I am shocked, why? because i never heard a voice this beautiful before! Masya Allah! I was curios, who's the guy behind this. Then i asked my cousin what app did he use and he told me that it was iMuslim, an application which is very useful for muslims because the app provide almost everything that is connected to the muslim world. So i downloaded it and then i tried the feature that my cousin used and i found out the Qari was Sheikh Abdurrahman As-Sudais. Since that i always listen to his recitation especially the last juz of the Quran because the recitation helped me to memorize it.
My respect to him increased a lot when found out that he is the President of The Two Holy Mosques, the Masjid An-Nabawi and Masjidil Haram. Come on dude, those are the most sacred and holy places (for muslims) in the world! Although he is the President of The Two Holy Mosques, he is very humble, he is a down to earth human being, i love him so much!
Unique Story
There's one story, i dont know if this is true or not, but this were told viral by many famous scholars years ago. Once, when little sudais mom was ccoking food for guests, sudais had just returned from playing outside and he brought sand. BURRR, he threw the sand into the food that his mother had cooked, after that, his mother prayed, hopefully his child would become an Imaam in Masjidil Haram.
And until now, he is believed to be an Imaam there, and known by muslims around the world for his voice and humility. MasyaAllah, Almighty God.
Dynamic Duo
He, sheikh sudais is known to be partnered with shiekh shuraim, an Imaam also, they are known as the dynamic duo, muslims around the world know that when Taraweeh, when there is Sudais, there is Shuraim. They are very unique, Sudais with his high pitch voice, and Shuraim with his bassy voice , completing each other. They have been partner since 1404( if i was not mistaken) and most of people liked it, they sell CD,VCD,pictures, etc of them.
I think that's all for this short thread. Hope this is useful for the readers. I'm sorry for my mistakes. Thank you for visiting my blog. See ya!
