Dushanbe Hosts Quran Reciting Competition
A two-day Republican Quran Reciting Contest has kicked off in Dushanbe on May 10.
More than 100 reciters under the age of 25 from all regions of the country participated in the contest that was held at the Tajik Islamic Institute.
“The competition was organized by the Tajik Islamic Institute in cooperation with the Holy Quran Memorization Association (Saudi Arabia) and Islamic scholars from Tajikistan and Saudi Arabia are judging the Republican Quran Reciting Contest in Dushanbe,” an official source at the Tajik Islamic Institute told Asia-Plus in an interview.
We will recall that Dushanbe last year hosted the Quran reciting competition among Muslims from the CIS nations. Forty-two reciters, aged 6 to 25, participated in that contest and Tajik reciters took nine of fifteen prize-wining places.
Besides, two representatives of Tajikistan were among the top ten winners of the 19th International Quran Recitation Contest that took place in Cairo, Egypt in 2011. More than 100 representatives from Asia, Europe and Africa participated in the 19th edition of Egypt’s International Quran Recitation Competition in Cairo.
In 2011, Tajik Quran reciters also participated in the 26th International Quran Recitation Competition that took place in Tehran. The best Quran reciters aged 18 to 40 from 40 Muslim countries of the world participated in the Quran recitation competition in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
