Quran Recitation Teaching Center Planned at Cairo’s Imam Hussein Mosque
Eminent qari Ahmed Ahmed Nuaina will teach at the center, which is slated to be inaugurated on Wednesday, the ministry said, Ash-Shuruq news website reported.
The center’s courses will be held every week on Saturdays and Wednesdays after noon prayers.
Those who take the courses and recite the entire Quran or attend the sessions for six months and manage to pass a recitation exam to be organized by Nuaina and the ministry’s Quran recitation department will receive a recitation permit.
Al-Hussein Mosque is a famous mosque in an old section of Cairo which was originally constructed in 1154 and was reconstructed in 1874.
Nuaina is a top qari who has mastery over the ten styles of Quran recitation and has recited the Holy Book in international events in Egypt for decades.
He has recited the Quran before many heads of Muslims states, including kings, presidents and prime ministers.
That is why he is known as Qari al-Muluk (qari of kings), though he does not like the title very much.
In addition to being a qari, he is a memorizer of the entire Quran and a physician by profession.
