IQNA – Born in Cairo's Bab al-Sharia district on February 9, 1946, Muhammad Abdul Hadi Muhammad al-Hilbawi began memorizing the Holy Quran as a child under his grandfather's guidance.

 

He followed the recitation styles of Sheikh Mohammad Rafat and Ali Mahmoud, and the Ibtihal styles of Zakaria Ahmad and Taha Al-Fashni, until he developed his own unique sound.

He traveled to different countries and shared his experiences with those who were interested.

He received awards from Al-Azhar University in Egypt for his years of dedication and practice in reciting the Holy Quran and ritual melodies.
