The first volume contains articles on the life and styles of recitation of renowned reciter Shahat Muhammad Anwar.
Mahmud Jabbir head of An-Nur Quranic Research Center said that compilation and publication of the encyclopedia requires more cooperation and help from the devotees of the Quran.
He said that a delegation from the research center would travel to Tehran in the near future to discuss an agreement with the Iranian Quran News Agency on further cooperation in publishing the great Quranic work. “In line with the guidelines of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who has stressed the need for more efforts regarding the Quran and Quran reciters, the center has requested Quran News Agency for assistance in publishing the encyclopedia.”
He said that the Association of Quran Reciters in Egypt and its secretary general Mater Abolainain Shoaisha have also welcomed the compilation of the encyclopedia.
