Reports on Death of Egyptian Quran Master Denied
TEHRAN (IQNA) – Two Egyptian Quranic figures rejected reports that the country’s senior Quran master Mahmoud Siddiq Minshawi has died.
Speaking to IQNA, Taha Muhammad Abdul Wahhab said the reports are incorrect.
"I contacted one of the students of the master in his hometown and he told me the news is unfounded.”
He added, though, that Master Minshawi is not in good health and has been suffering from an illness for a while.
Ahmed Ahmed Noaina, another Egyptian Quranic figure also dismissed reports about Minshawi’s death as untrue.
Rumors have been spreading in social media networks in recent days that the top Quran master has passed away.
Mahmoud Siddiq Minshawi (born in 1940) is brother of late Mohamed Siddiq Minshawi (1920 –1969) who held the title Shaykh al-Maqâri (senior Qari) in Egypt.
