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.
He also mastered Arabic music from the best teachers in this field. He learned from the reciters of the Golden Age of Egypt in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and in 1929 he got a license to perform Ibtihal and recitation on the Egyptian Quran Radio.
Master Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hadi Muhammad Al-Hilbawi, who had diabetes for a long time, died on the night of June 15, 2013, at 67 years old.
