Hassan Saleh is born in  Mahmudiyah Egypt and is an important name in the world of Quran recitation and is often remembered for his silken soft and heartwarming baritone. To give success to his aspirations revolving around the Quran, he enrolled himself into the Institute of Readings where he studied the Ten Readings of the Quran and was awarded a certificate of Appreciation. Graduating from the Quranic sciences faculty and being appointed to lead the prayers as an Imam soon after at the Islamic Center in New York, lend proof to the growing love and respect the docile and humble shaykh seemed to be garnering.
