Quran Recitation – Surah Al-Hijr (verse 16 to 23)

This is a very touching Quran recitation by Mohamed Siddiq El-Minshawi of surah “al-Hijr” (The Rock or The Rocky Tract).

He was a beloved reciter, writer and quranic teacher from Upper Egypt, he specialized in teaching children.

The way he recited Quran used to make people cry as his voice trembled and had this peculiar shaking sound that reminded you of someone who is about to cry.

His voice and tone are moving. Even if you don’t understand Arabic, you would be able to “feel” the words and his love for Quran while closing your eyes inshaAllah.

He died at the age of 49, Inna Lillaahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’oun (We surely belong to Allah and to Him we shall return)
