Omar Hisham Al-Arabi

Omar Hisham Al-Arabi is an Egyptian Qur'an reciter who recites in the Hafs 'an Asim narration. A complete recorded recitation of his is carried by the Muslim Central and Quran Central platforms as a podcast running since 8 July 2019. He is known worldwide through his official YouTube channel, which has published his recitations for about nine years; individual recitations have reached tens of millions of views, among them Surah Ar-Rahman at about 59 million. ^{1 2}

Omar Hisham Al-Arabi has no Wikipedia article in any language, and the profiles available do not document his birth date, home town, teachers or any public role as imam or teacher; his Muslim Central profile itself notes that his education, teachers and significant life events are not widely documented. This record is therefore limited to what the sources establish: his Egyptian origin, his Hafs 'an Asim narration, his complete recorded recitation and his official channel. ¹

His YouTube channel had about 3.84 million subscribers by SpeakRJ's count (24 October 2026) — a dated platform figure, not a fact verified by the museum. His recordings feature in digital Qur'anic archives and are widely shared across online platforms, according to his profile. ^{1 2}
