The competition was held on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan and birth anniversary of Imam Hassan Mujtaba (AS).
According to the website of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization, 66 girls aged 9 to 16 took part in the contest, which was organized by the Culture House in cooperation with Imamiya Organization’s Women’s Affairs Section.
The participants competed in recitation of the Quran and 3 of them were announced by the panel of judges as winners.
The winners were awarded in a ceremony at the end of the competition.
There were also speeches delivered on the sidelines of the contest featuring the social effects of memorizing and reciting the Quran, thematic interpretations of the Quran, and new Quran teaching methods.
During Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, Muslims fast as an effective way of practicing self-discipline. They are also expected to strengthen their character through self-restraint, charitable-giving and introspection.
Reading and contemplating the Holy Quran is also a major activity for Muslims during the holy month, which is known as the ‘month of Quran.’
