Mohamed Siddiq El-Minshawi also Mohamed Seddik El-Menshawy; (Arabic: محمد الصديق المنشاوي‎) (January 20, 1920 – June 20, 1969) born in Upper Egypt was an Egyptian Qur'anic reciter. Son of Seddik El Menshawy, his brother Mahmoud El Menshawy is also a famous reciter.[1]

History

Having been significantly influenced by his father, El-Minshawi was also a protégé of Muhammad Salamah, a famous reciter of the 20th century. He studied the rules of recitation under Ibrahim As-Su'oodi at a young age. Muhammad Siddiq Al-Minshawi has become a household name across the Muslim world. He traveled to many countries outside of his homeland, including Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Palestine (Al-Aqsa Mosque), Saudi Arabia, and Syria. He helped children with the recitation of Quran.

Legacy

Minshawi's recitations continue to be amongst the well known due to his impeccable Tajweed and style. He was the author of many books on various aspects of the Quran. He was also involved in the calligraphic printing of the Quranic text and “World of Islam festival”. His status as reciter was somewhat official: he held the title Shaykh al-Maqâri, and his opinions were frequently solicited and quoted by the media. One can count a generation of younger reciters among his imitators.
