Sheikh Abdul Basit Abdul Samad was a celebrated Egyptian Quran reciter born in 1927. Known for his beautiful voice, mastery of Tajweed (Quranic recitation rules), and captivating tone, he earned the nicknames "Golden Throat" and "Voice of Heaven". He was the first president of the Egyptian Reciters' Union and won three world Qira'at competitions, gaining worldwide fame and numerous international honors. Just before he was about to leave, Sheikh Muhammad Salim happened to move to a town near Abdul Basit's home. This was a wonderful surprise! Abdul Basit was able to study with the famous teacher without having to move far away. He reviewed the whole Quran with Sheikh Salim and also memorized the Al-Shatibia, an important text that explains the seven main styles of recitation. Later in his life, Abdul Basit became ill with health problems related to diabetes. He traveled to London for treatment, but his health did not improve. He passed away in Egypt on November 30, 1988.
