Careeredit
Ulfah was introduced to Qur'an recitation by her father, Haji Mudhoffar, who taught her that she was equal to any man or woman. He staged Qur'an reciting competitions in their hometown to give his daughter experience.[12] She began training at age 6, with instruction from her older sister. Her interest in the art grew as she attended an Islamic boarding school that encouraged her to pursue recitation.[4] Since the 1980s, Ulfah has been an internationally popular and respected figure in Qur'anic recitation.[13][9] Ulfah is a scholar of the history of Qur'anic recitation in the Indonesian archipelago, as well as a lecturer at the Institute for Qur'anic Studies in Jakarta.[5]
Ulfah's recitation was featured on the companion CD to Approaching the Qur'an by Michael Sells,[3] and she has toured Malaysia, Egypt, Australia, the United States,[14] Canada, and several European countries.[15] During her 1999 tour in the United States for which Ulfah was accompanied by Anne Rasmussen,[14] her trip was hosted by the Middle East Studies Association of North America.[16]
