Syrian Quran Expert Lauds Good Recitation of Non-Arab Contestants
Alidib, who is a member of the competition’s jury panel described their successful observation of the rules of Qira’a (recitation), Tajweed, Waqf and Ibtida (pause and resumption) as amazing.
He said the mastery of non-Arab participants over the rules of recitation has been achieved through hard work and efforts.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Alidib referred to the motto of this year’s contest, namely “Quran, Harbinger of Kindness, Unity and Dignity”, and said the activities of the great Quranic event are certainly in line with this motto.
