Holy Quran Radio

The Holy Quran Radio is one of the milestones in Islamic history, as it greatly helped preserve the recitation of the Holy Quran by the voices of the most famous and prominent reciters in the Arab world, in addition to presenting many important religious broadcasts.

Purpose and date of establishment

• An edition of gold leaf was spread that was printed using luxurious gilded paper and produced in an elegant and distinguished manner, but it was sold at a cheap price despite its quality, which made it spread widely, intentional errors and distortions were discovered that changed the meaning of Quranic verses, for example, “And whoever seeks a way other than this way a submission (Islam), will find that it will not be accepted from him and in the Life to come he will be among the losers”, it was printed without “other than” which completely changed the meaning of the verse, but God Almighty said in the Holy Quran, “It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)”, therefore, all attempts to change the meaning of the verses and distort them did not succeed.
• It was proposed to record the recited Quran with the narration of Hafs ‘an ‘Asim, by the reciter, Sheikh Mahmoud Khalil Al-Hussary, on CDs, of which different copies are distributed around the world. It was the first audio collection of the Holy Quran after it was written and compiled manually during the era of the Messenger, may God’s blessings and peace be upon him, but with the passage of time this solution was not the best as most groups in society do not have a device for playing CDs in this period of time, so doctor Abdul Qadir Hatem, Head of the Ministry of Culture and National Guidance, “Currently the Ministry of Information,” decided establishing and launching a radio broadcast that will be in two periods, from six AM until eleven AM, and from two PM until eleven PM, so that it is broadcast fourteen hours a day, the idea was presented to President Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt at this time, who approved it and the broadcasting of the Holy Quran Radio began.
• The Holy Quran Radio was launched on Wednesday, 11th of Dhu al-Qi`dah, 1383 AH, corresponding to the twenty-fifth of March, 1964 AD, and since that time it has become the world’s oldest broadcast.
