Saeed Ibrahim Hassan presents biographies of some of Egypt's most celebrated Quran reciters, figures who became spiritual and cultural icons whom people travelled far to hear. Going beyond dry biography to human stories, the book lingers on the voice of Sheikh Mohamed Refaat and the awe it stirred; on Mansour Badar, called the Sultan's reciter because the Ottoman sultan admired him; and on Abdel Fattah El-Shaashaey, who hesitated to recite on radio until a ruling from the Sheikh of Al-Azhar reassured him. It also recounts the asceticism of Seddik El-Minshawi, who turned down a large sum of money. A reference for lovers of Quranic recitation and its history in Egypt. Published by Dar Sayd Al-Khater.
