Qaris from Iraq, Indonesia, Afghanistan Compete in Al-Ameed Quran Award
The final round of the competition has been organized by the Holy Quran Scientific Assembly affiliated with the Astan of Hazrat Abbas (AS) holy shrine.
Quran reciters from 20 Arab and non-Arab countries are taking part in the contest, according to Al-Kafeel website.
A committee of international reciters including Sheikh Muhammad Bassiouni from Egypt, Bassem Al-Abidi and Mushtaq Al-Ali from Iraq, Sheikh Muhammad Asfour from Egypt, Sayed Hassanein Al-Helou from Iraq and Seyed Karim Mousavi from Iran are supervising this competition.
In the eighth episode, Qari Maman Sitawaan from Indonesia and Qari Jawad Hassani from Afghanistan were present in the adult category, and after the evaluations, the Afghan qari advanced to the next stage. In the youth group, Qari Mohammad Ali Sadiq from Iraq made it to the next round.
This episode also included an address by Reza Al-Raz, a Lebanese writer and director. He introduced the Holy Quran as the main source of inspiration for his works, and his latest work is a play for children that promotes Quranic values and encourages children to learn, recite and memorize the Holy Quran.
Al-Raz emphasized that the relationship with the Quran should be based on reflection, awareness and becoming a lifestyle.
He lost his sight and left hand more than a year ago following the “pager” explosions in Lebanon, but inspired by the patience and perseverance of Hazrat Abbas (AS), he has continued his Quranic and artistic activities by relying on technologies such as artificial intelligence and electronic reading.
