Egypt’s Dawlet El Telawa Program Sets Sights on Global Talent Development
In comments to The Egyptian Gazette, Al-Azhari said the television program has progressed from a traditional contest to a structured framework designed to develop high-calibre reciters.
Dawlet El Telawa is currently regarded as Egypt’s largest talent search program in Quran recitation and Tajweed. Produced in cooperation with the Ministry of Awqaf and the United Media Services Company, it seeks to identify promising reciters from across the country.
He described the current format as the result of months of evaluations and eliminations and noted that it now functions as “a genuine platform for this noble goal.”
Al-Azhari explained that the ministry aims to transform the initiative into a sustained institutional track for talent discovery. “We have a future vision for it to become a permanent path for discovering talents, based on a comprehensive institutional effort,” he said.

As part of the prize, the final two contestants will have their recitations recorded for broadcast on the Misr Quran Kareem TV channel and its online application. They will also be enrolled as members of the Ministry’s Syndicate of Quran Reciters.
The minister highlighted plans to assist skilled participants who do not reach the final stages of the program.
He said this support would include the creation of a specialised institute dedicated to advancing their abilities. “Every truly talented individual will receive support,” he said. “My vision includes establishing a specialised institute that will provide the highest levels of care and development for these talents. We strive to make this project a reality in the near future.”

To ensure rising talent is not overlooked, Al-Azhari said the ministry intends to make use of both the Reciters’ Syndicate and the planned institute to provide training opportunities at home and abroad.
He also pointed to the importance of modern media in enhancing visibility for skilled reciters. Investment in developing top-tier Quran reciters, he added, is a “national, cultural, and spiritual duty.”
