Egypt’s Awqaf Official Condoles Death of Quran Master Qalwash
Al-Faghi said the Egyptian society lost one of its great Qaris who had a very beautiful voice.
He added that Qalwash’s recitations of the Quran purified hearts, the Babawa al-Asima website reported.
Al-Faghi also prayed God to bestow His special mercy on the late Quran reciter.
Qalwash, who died on Thursday at the age of 77, was a senior member of the Arab country’s Quran Reciters and Memorizers Association.
He had been suffering from an illness for a long time.
Born in 1939 into a Quranic family, Qalwash learned the entire Quran by heart in his early teenage years and started reciting the Quran in different places at the age of 16.
He became an official Qari of Egypt’s national radio and television at 24.
Qalwash travelled to different countries for Quran recitation. He was among the first Egyptian Qaris who visited Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
