Iranian Memorizer Puts Up Good Performance at Jordan Int’l Quran Contest for Women

IQNA – The Iranian representative’s turn to answer questions of the panel of judges at Jordan’s 18th international Quran competition for women came on the second day of the event Sunday.

Zahra Abbasi answered five questions and recited from memory the verses specified by the panel.

She put up a good performance, receiving no corrections from the arbiters panel.

The memorizer seems to have received the full score in Husn Hifz (accurate memorization).

The other contenders performing on the second day were from Palestine, Kuwait, Malaysia, Cameroon, Lebanon and Iraq. 

Aged 20, Abbasi is among the youngest Iranian contestants taking part in Jordan’s Quran competition.

A student of Arabic language and literature at the University of Tehran, she was selected to represent Iran in the Quranic event after finishing runner-up in the country’s national Quran competition last year.

The 8th edition of Jordan's international Quran competition for women, known as ‘Al-Hashimiya’, began in Amman on Saturday with the participation of 41 memorizers from 39 countries.
