BAHLA: The Wilayat of Bahla in the Al Dakhiliyah Governorate held a ceremony on Saturday to honour the winners of the Bahla Quran Competition. Organised by the Waqf Quran School in collaboration with the Office of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, the event took place under the auspices of Dr Mohammed bin Said al Maamari, Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs.
The competition aimed to nurture a love for the Holy Quran among the youth, encourage excellence in memorisation and recitation, and instill Islamic values and Quran ethics in society. It also served as a platform to discover and refine Quran talents.
Salim bin Abdullah Al Humaimi, Director of the Waqf Quran School in Bahla, highlighted that over 700 male and female participants across various age groups took part in the competition, with 277 advancing to the final evaluation. The participants competed in seven levels, categorised based on age and memorisation ability.
The first level was dedicated to memorising the entire Holy Quran, while the second to fourth levels involved memorising 20, 15 and 10 parts, respectively, open to all ages. The fifth level targeted students in the twelfth grade and below, the sixth level was for eighth-grade students and the seventh level was designed for fourth-grade students.
Al Humaimi emphasised that such competitions play a vital role in strengthening Quran culture among younger generations and reinforcing their connection to the Holy Quran. He reaffirmed the school’s commitment to expanding and enhancing the competition each year to serve its mission of promoting Quran education.
