Biography
Muhammad Siddiq Al-Minshawi (1920–1969) was an Egyptian Quran reciter from Sohag, one of the most celebrated reciters of the twentieth century and known as the 'weeping voice'. He recorded both a complete murattal Quran and mujawwad recitations for Egyptian radio; this is his murattal recording.
How to recognise Muhammad's voice
Three things tend to place Muhammad's voice: the ornamented mujawwad style, with long melodic phrases; an emotive delivery that lingers on verses of mercy and warning; and a deep, weighty register that carries in a large hall. That is our own listening note, offered to help you place the voice — not a sourced biographical claim.
