Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad

Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad (عبد الباسط عبد الصمد) (1988-1927),known as the man with the golden voice, was an Egyptian Qur'anic Recitor, considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of his era. He is admired worldwide for his superb breath control and high, clear melodious recitation with perfect pitch and tone control, a feat that requires a great deal of self discipline. He was an inspiration for many students to learn the rules of Tajwid (تجويد), the art of beautiful recitation of the Qur'an and its correct application.

Shiekh Abdul Basit Abdul Sammad was born in 1927. He came to Cairo from the city of Armant in Upper Egypt in 1950 having established his reputation in the south. He is the first reciter in his family, but his grandfather was a religious scholar of al-Azhar training. Shiekh Abdul Basit is probably the best-known of Egyptian recitors outside of Egypt, as he was the first to make commercial recordings of his reciting, and he has traveled extensively outside of Egypt. Among his recordings are the complete text of the Qur'ân in both styles, murattal and mujawwad. Shiekh Abdul Basit is one of the four top-ranking recitors in Egypt. He was the first president of the newly formed Reciters' Union. Shiekh Abdul basit is admired for breath control and his high, clear voice.

Abdul Basit passed away during a car crash near his town in 1988. Now he is almost known everywhere worldwide, his recordings are found at every corner of the world and some regard him as the greatest qari in modern times. He has left the world as a legend in terms of his service for the quraan -which no one will regret. His recitations have led to a new generation of qaries wherever you go.
