The world heard her first cry on 1948, in Cairo and her growing up was in a conservative environment, inspired from the prophetic guidance and scoop of the wide muslim culture, as a result, she crossed her way steadily through the spiritual guidance and the religious preaching path. This is the story of Abla El Kahlaoui; the Egyptian and islamic propagandist whose fame pervaded the islamic and arabic worlds.
Her father Mohamed El Kahlaoui had an affection for the spiritual music (Anasheed) and islamic anthems, although his prominence in this area as a leader, he cared so much about his daughter’s guidance, and he directed her to study the Islamic law in the prestigious university El Azhar, in which she excelled and acquired a master degree in 1974, she then carried on in the same field and culminated her studies by obtaining a P.H.D in 1978.
