The message of Quranic experts of the Islamic Ummah in the competitions is that of peace unity by clinging on to the Holy Quran as the unifying element, read the statements.
“One should hail the high-quality level of recitations in this edition and thank God for it,” it noted, adding that the ground should be paved for promoting the Quran in the young generation across the world so as to build a “Quranic Ummah Wahida”.
