Al-Awqaf marks Sheikh Al-Sayfi anniversary
Sheikh Muhammad Sayfi, one of Egypt’s renowned reciters, famously known as "Abu al-Qurra’" (Father of Reciters), passed away on September 25, 1955, at the age of 70. Born in 1885 in the village of Al-Barad’aa in Qalyubia Governorate, he memorized the Quran at an early age, then enrolled at Al-Azhar University, graduating from the College of Sharia and Law in 1910. He was a pioneer of the Egyptian Radio since its establishment in 1934, participated in recordings for international channels, and recited at official and national occasions. He left a notable legacy in the sciences of qira’at (recitation) and tajweed (elocution). He continued serving the Holy Quran until his death, and his career significantly influenced the Egyptian school of recitation both within Egypt and abroad. The Ministry of Awqaf (Endowments) affirms his esteemed position in the history of Egyptian recitation and his efforts in promoting Quranic sciences.
