Born in 1939 into a Quranic family, Qalwash learned the entire Quran by heart in his early teenage years and started reciting the Quran in different places at the age of 16.

He became an official Qari of Egypt’s national radio and television at 24.

Qalwash travelled to different countries for Quran recitation. He was among the first Egyptian Qaris who visited Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

He also has a very beautiful Adhan (call to prayers) recitation that is heard from mosques frequented by Shias.
