Beautiful Quran Recitation (with English translation): Hafs Al-Gazzi (Surah Al Masad)
Add us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003608653484&ref=tn_tnmn Beautiful Quran Recitation (Hafs Al-Gazzi) at the Digital Studios in Cairo, Egypt in 2012. Hafs Al-Gazzi is a qualified reciter of the Qur'an who has obtained his Ijazat both in the recitation of the Qur'an but also the various Mutoon (texts) on Tajweed from numerous scholars around the world. He recorded his first recording of Juz Amm under the supervision of Sheikh Ahmed Esa al-Ma'sarawi who currently holds the position of Sheikh al-Qurra in Egypt. Be sure to look out for his book on Tajweed published through IIPH (International Islamic Publishing House): https://www.iiph.com.sa/iiph-Tajweed_Rules_for_Qur%E2%80%99anic_Recitation-p160.html
