Quran Competitions Opportunity for Enhancing Level of Memorizers: Tarouti
Abdel Fattah Tarouti said that the competitions are a fundamental pillar in the path of memorizing the Quran.
He made the remarks in an interview with Al-Akhbar Al-Masai, adding that he is generally interested in holding local and international Quran competitions and believes that these competitions play an important role in serving the Book of God.
They serve to encourage the new generation, especially the youth, to adhere to the Quran and memorize, recite and reflect on the Quran, he stated.
Tarouti added that participating in competitions has many benefits for the memorizer of the Holy Quran, the most important of which is maintaining his level and increasing his self-confidence, and it also makes him constantly busy memorizing the Holy Quran and reviewing it continuously.
Tarouti emphasized that the competitions also help to strengthen the voice and help memorizers master the rules of recitation, in a manner that is worthy of the glory and holiness of the Word of God Almighty.
The Egyptian reciter stated that Quran competitions are not just a competition; rather, they are an educational and spiritual environment that fosters the spirit of commitment and hard work and plays a role in raising an informed generation that is capable of conveying the message of the Quran and spreading it in a good manner and with skill in voice.
Abdel Fattah Tarouti is a distinguished reciter from the Sharqiya Governorate of Egypt and the vice president of the Quran Reciters Union in the country.
