Prizes awarded to the winners of Quran Recitation Competition

Prizes were awarded to the winners of Quran recitation competition at Seenu Atoll School. The competition, which was held during the month of Ramazan, was organized by Foundation for Meedhoo Development (FMD) to commemorate the sad demise of Mr. Mohamed Jamal, Riyaz, S.Meedhoo. Students from Shamsuddheen School, Hulhudhoo School and Seenu Atoll School participated in this competition. Students as young as six years to sixteen years took part in this tournament.

Religious reciters known as ‘qaris’ from Hulhumeedhoo judged the competition. They include Abdul Kareem, Ali Naseer, Shareef and Abdulla Najeeb.

“Quran propagates the message of humanity, prosperity and peace,” Mr. Ahmed Shathir, the chairman of FMD stated while addressing to the audience. He also highlighted the importance of conducting that kind of competions consistently for the well-being of the society and its harmony.

The participants hoped that with more such competitions, the faith and love among people of all ages would revive. Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind, and consider the original Arabic text to be the final revelation of God.

Islam holds that the Qur'an was revealed to Muhammad by the angel Jibril (Gabriel) over a period of 23 years. The Qur'an purports to be the main miracle of Muhammad, thus its inimitability validates his status as a prophet.

Muslims regard the Qur'an as the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with those revealed to Adam, regarded in Islam as the first prophet, and continued with the Suhuf.
