Basim Karbalaei (born November 12, 1966) (alternatively, Bassim Al-Karbalaei) is a Shia eulogy (latmiyah) reciter.
He was born in the city of Karbala, Iraq in 1966 where he lived until 1980. During this time, he participated in processions in Karbala, which were held in mourning of Prophet Muhammad and Ahl al-Bayt (People of the House [of the Prophet]), who Shi'as regard highly. He then moved and lived in Isfahan, Iran, where he began learning how to read Qur'an which helped soften and improve his voice. He has read thousands of poems regarding Muhammad and his Ahl al-Bayt both in mourning and celebration of them. He has recited in Bahrain, Denmark, Germany, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, the Netherlands, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. He has 3 daughters and 1 son whose names are Ali, Fatima, Rayhanah and Ruqayyah.
