A MUSIC star will perform in Bradford on Friday as part of a national tour supporting a humanitarian aid charity's work in Pakistan.

The tour, which starts in Edinburgh and ends in Preston, features Junaid Jamshed as well as other well-known and respected scholars and musicians Dr Muhammad Salah, Fatih Seferagic and Sheikh Noumani.

Money raised will be used to help rebuild lives in Pakistan after unprecedented monsoon rains last year caused major flooding across Pakistan, with flood waters covering roughly one-fifth of the country’s land area.

The devastating floods left 2.2 million hectares of crops were destroyed and 12 million homes damaged or wiped out.

The Human Appeal charity said the tour, which takes the form of a charity dinner and entertainment, is to help Muslim communities prepare for their Ramadan celebrations.

Ticket sales are going well but there are still some left, said Othman Moqbel, chief executive officer of Human Appeal.

"The tour has played to packed venues across the UK over the past week, and the funds it raises will help rebuild the lives of people who were affected by the floods in Pakistan last year," he said.

"The Bradford event on Friday will be the first time Junaid has performed in the city in years.”

Junaid Jamshed was a rock sensation with a band called Vital Signs whose 1987 album Vital Signs 1 topped music channel charts around the country. He has now journeyed from pop to Islam, singing faith inspired songs and owns his own clothing boutique.

Also appearing with Juanid Jamshed will be Dr Muhammad Salah who is one of the best known Islamic scholars in the US and presenter of Ask Huda, a popular TV show in the States.

Fatih Seferagic is one of the world's most popular Quran reciters who attracts millions of views on YouTube.

He first started memorising the Quran at the age of nine at a full time Quran memorisation seminary program, completing the Quran at the age of 13. He now travels the world teaching the Quran and is based in Indiana where he runs his own program for children learning how to read and memorise the holy book.

Sheikh Noumani will also be there on the night in Bradford with his ability to mimic famous Quran reciters from around the world.
