Tarteel Recitation of Quran by 20 Al-Azhar Students Completed

IQNA – The deputy head of Egypt’s Al-Azhar Islamic University announced the production of a Tarteel recitation of the Quran by 20 students of the university.

Muhammad al-Zuwaini said the Quran’s Tarteel recitation (Mushaf Murattal) in the “Hafs from Asim” narration has been recorded and produced with the voices of 20 students from the Al-Azhar Quran memorization centers.

These outstanding students are memorizers of the Book of God and part of the Al-Azhar project, which is being implemented under the supervision of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the imam of Al-Azhar, he noted.

The Quranic Administration of Al-Azhar launched this project over two years ago, aiming to educate students and prepare them in memorization, recitation, and mastery of Tajweed rules, thereby nurturing a new generation of Egyptian reciters in the tradition of the golden era of renowned reciters, so they can become pioneers in this field, he said.

Al-Zuwaini emphasized that one of the first fruits of this Quranic project is the production of the first recorded Quran recitation in Tarteel by 20 top students from Al-Azhar centers.

He noted that the recording had begun in the holy month of Ramadan last year, el-Balad News reported.

According to Hani Awdah, another Al-Azhar official, there is another project underway at the university featuring the recording of Quran recitations in the ten styles of recitation.

This project is also being implemented under the supervision of the Al-Azhar chief, he noted.
