“Sheikh Muhammad al-Laythi passed away five years earlier than his father. When his father died, Laythi’s burying place was opened so as to bury the father,” he said.

“The person who was doing the tomb affairs called one of master Laythi’s friends saying [with surprise] ‘come here and see your friend’. His fingers were stretched. The sheikh was not buried like this. They touched his hand and saw that it has remained undamaged. One of his friends even touched his body and realized that it has remained sound.”

Born in 1949 into a family of Quran reciters and memorizers in Ash Sharqia Governorate, he learned the Quran by heart at an early age.

He also learned Quran recitation skills from his father and other masters in his hometown.

Al-Laythi joined Egypt’s Quran Radio as a Qari in 1984.

He recited the Quran in many famous mosques in his country and also traveled to many other countries, including Iran, India, Pakistan, Germany, the US and South Africa for recitation.

He died on March 5, 2006.
