Abdul Basit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad (عبد الباسط عبد الصمد) (1988-1927) was an Egyptian Qur'anic Recitor, considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of his era. He is admired worldwide for his breath control and high, clear voice. He was an inspiration for many students to learn the rules of Tajwid(تجويد), beautification of the Qur'an's recitation, and apply these to the Qur'an correctly.
He recited Sura Ar-Rahman live at the Badshahi Masjid, Lahore, Pakistan in 1961. Such was the power in his recitation that the crowd erupted in jubilation.
