Personal life
Shuraim's family is from the Haraqees of the Banu Zayd tribe of Saudi Arabia.
In an interview with the Al Watan newspaper, when asked about his wife's role in his success, Shuraim stated:
Before I say something about my wife, I can't forget my mother's love and mercy for me in my childhood and youth as well; As she raised me in orphanage in childhood... her love is a tonic for me. May Allah shower His mercy upon her as she did with me when I was a child.
And as for my wife, she has proven herself to be the best companion for me in happiness and sorrow, she is there when I need her, cheers me up, and tries her best to lighten my sorrows. May Allah include this in her good deeds.
