National Qiraa’atul Qur’aan competition wraps up
The Gauteng and Kwa- Zulu Natal editions of the South African National Qiraa’atul Qur’aan Competition was concluded on 14 and 28 May 2016, respectively.
Hosted by the South African Qur’aan Union, Madrasah Tarteelul Qur’aan, and Awqaf SA, the event aims to develop local reciters and maintain a high standard of Qur’aan recitation in the country. The contest was established 11 years ago in Cape Town and has since added on regional chapters in Kwa- Zulu Natal and Gauteng.
A total of 75 male and female contestants participated in the two events. Budding reciters from various local and outlying towns participated in the challenge, together with resident students that hail from some African and Asian countries. The contest, which focusses on the correct and beautiful presentation of the Holy Qur’aan, was adjudicated and overseen by a number of prominent Qur’aan experts from various parts of the country. Leading Qur’aan reciter from Malaysia, Qari Anwar Bin Hasin, also provided vital input and assistance on the adjudication panel.
