Said about Him[edit]
- Saeed al-Kafrawi said that he represented to him “the last beacons of the generation of pioneers,” adding, “Dr. Abdel-Qader Al-Qatt has proven throughout his history, whether on the academic or critical level, or during his presidency of any cultural facility, that he was one of the major actors in developing our cultural visions. And we were introduced to all the new schools that were born in the Arab cultural arena. "
- As for the critic Ramadan Bastawissi, he said: “We are all affected by the death of the late critic Dr. Abdel-Qader Al-Qatt. Criticism of television drama is the biggest proof of this, as it is the only Arab literary critic who presented studies and research for television works through a literary perspective other than what we read on newspaper pages from media writings, which do not go beyond its introductory role in the work.
Hasan Fatah Al-Bab: He lost poetry and critic earned him
- The poet Hassan Fatah al-Bab, the companion of the late critic Dr. Abdel-Qader Al-Qatt, said: I am Sorry to the sudden departure of the Sheikh of the Critics, Dr. Abdel-Qader Al-Qatt. My relationship with him goes back to 60 years, specifically to the year 1942, when I was in that year a student at the Department of Arabic Language, Fouad I University, Cairo now, and he was the secretary of the library of this college and we were looking for the poems that we write and the third poet was the late Dr. Youssef Khalif until our colleagues called us "The three musketeers".
And he added, Fatah al-Bab: I was about eight years younger than them, but we were forming one constellation, then I left the Faculty of Arts after spending a year in it and turned to law, but my relationship with them remained close and close. And the gathering between us was the love for poetry and its book, and despite the passage of this long time, which is more than half a century, I still feel the warmth and beauty of life when I remember this friendship, and they were visiting me in the neighborhood of my home in which I was born raised in the Shubra neighborhood. I remember that I wrote a farewell poem to Dr. Abdul Qadir al-Qatt, while traveling on a study mission to England, and it had a deep resonance.. The train of life passed, and we became one neighborhood dwelling, so I used to see it every week in the Granada café, where many writers from different generations visited it, and there was real communication, and there were no disputes between them as we find now.
The poet Hassan Fath al-Bab added: “Dr. Abdel-Qader Al-Qatt was the chief editor of several periodicals, so I and my peers were among the poets we would frequent him to display our poems, and he was known for his lack of production. His books do not exceed 7 books, but he was rich in his speech and he used to stand beside the youth and discuss with them about the poem of prose, ambiguity and the complexity that marred many of their production and his poem "Youth Memories" still carries the breath of dreamy romantic poetry. Unfortunately, he did not complete his poetic career, but despite that, the Egyptian literary community won a great critic from the class of major critics.
His Death[edit]
Less than a week after receiving the Mubarak Prize for Literary Criticism, he passed away due to an illness he suffered.
