Guys has anyone of you heard of Rast Maqam called:
"Rast Naissabouri"? And what's the difference between it and the regular Rast do maqam that we know?

I'm guessing that you're referring to the makam called Nişaburek in Turkish - it's like Rast, but played on the same tonic as you would play
Bayati (D for Arabic tuning), and pieces in it look much more like Western pieces in the Major mode, at least in the melodies. It would be easy to put
I-IV-V-I chords under most Nisaburek melodies.
I found 6 Saz Semais and 4 Pesrevs in this makam, and over a dozen songs.
There's some other details, but this is a start for you.

Rast al re = Naishabur
jaka al re = Naishaburk
According to my notebook from the Taisir Elias lectures.

Thanks for your answer, i think i know what u are referring to, and i don't believe it's the same as "Rast Naissabouri" the one u are talking about is
close to what exactly u have said as Major Mode. But "Rast Naissabouri" is different.
I was told by someone that the famous song of Oum Kolsoum "Robaiiyat Alkhayyam" composed by Riad Sonbati on "Rast Naissabouri" and that the reason whu
Sonbati used this Maqam because the poert who wrote the poem Omar Khayyam was born in the city of Naissabour in Persia.
But i didn't find any differences from the well known "Rast Do" mode that we know.

I guess the famous Turkish song "Yillar Yili" is composed on tht Naisahburk maqam u r talking about, right Eliot?
