Quran Memorization Contest Held in Japan
Organized in cooperation with the Otsuka Mosque, it was attended by more than 300 people, the Muslimsaroundtheworld website reported.
Parts of the competition were held at the Tokyo Grand Mosque, according to the report.
Girls and boys from Japan’s Muslim community of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds actively participated in the Quranic event.
The competition once again demonstrated that the Holy Quran, regardless of geographical distance and language differences, remains the unifying pillar of Muslims, and that organized Quranic work is capable of creating a cohesive society even in non-Islamic environments.
The aim of the competition was to strengthen the connection with the Book of God and encourage memorization and recitation of the Quran among Muslims throughout Japan.
A judging committee consisting of male and female Quran experts, including Mohamed Dawood from Egypt and Hisham Atwa, supervised the event.
