About Reciter

Sheikh Tawfik As Sayegh was born in the capital of Eritrea (Asmarah) in 1974 then he moved to Saudi Arabia where he spent most of his life before leaving it to Bahrain where he lives now. Sheikh Tawfik was living in Jeddah since his childhood, he learned Quran and got his basic education there and then he joined the University of Imam Mohammad Ben Saud for Islamic studies where he got his master's degree, then he got his PHD from Um AlQura University. His talent at Quran recitation and Khutbah (Friday sermons) was evident and obvious since 1992 as he worked as imam at many mosques in Jeddah, one of them was Lami Mosque where he was working before his deportation to Bahrain. The exact cause of the Saudi Arabia government decision (deportation decision) isn't clear till now, it didn't make any sense as sheikh Tawfik As Sayegh lived there for long time and he was a famous and great reciter. The cause may be related to his political opinions and defense position for emigrants rights as he was the head of Eritrean community in Saudi Arabia. After that sheikh Tawfik went to Bahrain where he lives now and works as Imam and Quran reciter, he was given Bahraini nationality. He is the head of Al-Hudah publishing house which published the whole Quran recorded by his voice.
