Dubai Int’l Quran Contest for Women Slated for Nov.4
The announcement was made by Ibrahim Mohamed Bu Melha, Adviser to the Ruler of Dubai for Cultural and Humanitarian Affairs and Head of Dihqa Organising Committee on Thursday.
So far, over 70 countries and foreign communities from around the world have confirmed participation in the global competition annually held under the auspicious sponsorship of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, GToday reported.
“More aspirant participants are expected in the coming days in view of the sweeping success of the last two editions of the international competition which witnessed a huge participation from full Quran female memorizers worldwide.”
As was the case in the last two years, all competitors need to first clear initial qualifying tests to take the stage in public, he added.
“Only those who pass the initial tests will take the stage to answer five questions each at the cultural and scientific association at Al Mamzar area, Dubai, on two shifts; morning (from 10 am to 1 pm) and evening (from 6.30 am to 9 pm.”
The organizing committee, following a special nationwide contest earlier announced on the internet, has picked up a brilliant female memorizer to represent the UAE in the competition, Bu Melha stated.
“Successful candidate needs to meet certain conditions,” he explained. “She has to be a holder of the UAE citizenship, not more than 25 years old on December 31, and have full command of the memorization and recitation of the entire holy Quran.”
