Egyptian Qari Reminds Listeners of Abdul Basit (+Video)
Buhairi recently talked to Al-Mihwar satellite TV’s 90-Minitues program, saying he started recitation of the Holy Quran at the age of 15.
It was a time when great qaris like Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, Abolainain Shoaisha, Mohammed Ali al-Banna, Mustafa Ismail and Mohammed Sidiq Minshawi were the top Quran reciters of the country.
“I learned a lot from them,” he told the TV program, El-Balad news website reported.
Buhairi added that since the beginning, he has paid a lot of attention to learning and observing the rules of Tajweed in his recitations.
He stressed that the most important criterion for good and accurate Quran recitation is observing the rules of Tajweed.
Tajweed is a set of rules for the correct pronunciation of the letters with all their qualities and applying the various traditional methods of recitation.
Egypt is a country in North Africa with a population of around 100 million. Muslims account for around 90 percent of the country’s total population.
Quranic activities are very common in the Muslim-majority Arab country and many of the Muslim world’s top qaris in the past and present have been Egyptian.
Over the past decades, Egyptian qaris have always played a major role in the development of the art of Quran recitation in the world.
