Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad

Sheikh Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad (1920-1988) (عبد الباسط عبد الصمد), was a renowned Egyptian Qari

As such, many modern reciters try to imitate his style. He is the only Qari to have won three world Qirat competitions in the early 1970's. 'Abd us-Samad was one of the first huffaz to make commercial recordings of his recitations, and the first president of the newly formed Reciters' Union in Egypt. He is best known for his recitation of Sura Al-Fatiha, the first chapter of the Qur'an, and a key sura in the five daily Islamic canonical prayers. Abdul Basit was born in a village called Armant in the southern part of Egypt in 1927. He memorised the Qur'an before he was 10 years old and learned all of its seven readings. He was invited to recite during the Tarawih prayers at local mosques during Ramadan when he was just 14 years old. Abdul Basit was greatly influenced by the famous reciter Muhammad Rifat and used to walk miles to listen to his recitations on the radio
