Biography of Al-Hussary
Shaykh Mahmoud Khalil al-Hussary (Arabic: ٱلشِـيـْخ محمُود خَلِيـْل الْحُصـري), commonly known as Al-Hussary, was a renowned Egyptian Qari, celebrated for his precise Qur'anic recitation. He memorized the entire Qur'an by age 8 and began reciting at public gatherings by age 12. In 1944, Al-Hussary won the Qur'an Recitation competition on Egypt Radio, competing against 200 participants, including prominent figures like Muhammad Rifat. Al-Hussary, along with El Minshawy, Abdul Basit, and Mustafa Ismail, is considered one of the most influential Qurra' of modern times, profoundly impacting the Islamic world.
Early Life
Mahmoud al-Hussary began his Qur'anic education at the age of four, and by age 8 (or 11), he had memorized the entire Qur'an. By age 11, he was training at the renowned Ahmad al-Badawi mosque in Tanta. He later attended Al-Azhar University in Cairo, earning a diploma in al-Qira'at al-'Ashr (Arabic: القِـراءات العَـشر, lit. 'the ten recitations').
Service
Al-Hussary moved to Cairo and joined Egypt's official Qur'an radio station as a reciter, making his first appearance on February 16, 1944. Just a year later, in 1945, he was appointed as a reciter at the Ahmad al-Badawi mosque. On August 7, 1948, he was nominated as mu'adhin (prayer caller) of the Sidi Hamza Mosque and later became a Muqri (Arabic: مُقْرِئ, lit. 'reciter') at the same mosque. He also supervised recitation centers in the al-Gharbia province. Some sources claim he served at the Ahmad al-Badawi mosque for 10 consecutive years.
In 1955, he was appointed to the Al-Hussein Mosque in Cairo, where he served for 29 years until his passing.
At Al-Azhar
After returning to Cairo, Al-Hussary studied and taught at Al-Azhar University. In 1960, he led the department of al-Hadith bi Jam'i al-Buhuts al-Islamiyah (Arabic: الحدِيث ٱلبِجامِع البحوث الإسـلامـية) to correct Quranic manuscripts held in the Al-Azhar libraries.
As one of the four leading reciters in Egypt, Al-Hussary recorded the complete Qur'an in both murattal (tarteel) and mujawwad (tajwid) styles and was the first Qari to record and broadcast the murattal style. He authored and recorded treatises on various Qur'anic recitation styles: Ḥafs ʿan ʿĀṣim in 1961, Warsh ʿan Nāfiʾ in 1964, Qālūn ʿan Nāfiʾ, and ad-Dūrī ʿan Abī ʿAmr in 1968. That same year, he recorded the Qur'an in Al-Mushaf Al-Mu’allim (Arabic: المصحف المُعلّيم, lit. 'Teaching Qur'an') style, a tarteel method designed specifically for teaching.
Al-Hussary wrote 12 books on Qur'anic sciences to prevent corruption in both the text and recitation styles.
Recognition and Awards
In 1944, Al-Hussary won Egypt Radio's Qur'an Recitation competition, competing against 200 participants, including veterans like Muhammad Rifat, Ali Mahmud, and Abd Al-Fattah Ash-Sha'sha'i.
In 1957, Al-Azhar awarded him the title Shaykh al-Maqāriʾ (Arabic: ٱلشـيخ المقأرِئ, lit. 'Scholar of the Reciting Schools'). He was also appointed to the board of Islamic research on Hadith and the Qur'an at Al-Azhar.
Khalil Al-Hussary received the Egyptian Medal of Honour for Arts and Sciences, First Grade, from President Gamal 'Abd Al-Nasir in 1967. The same year, he was elected President of the Islamic World League of Qur'an Reciters.
