Holy Quran Contest for Special Needs People
SHARJAH — As many as 66 people with special needs participated in the second edition of the Al Hassawi Holy Quran Award at Al Thiqa Club for Handicapped. The event was part of the open Sharjah Holy Quran Award for which a total of 900 participants have entered initially.
The chairman of the organising committee, Waleed Al Marzugy, said 16 girls and 50 boys took part in the three categories of the award.
“Challenging their impairments, the participants showed a high level of performance in terms of memorisation and recitation,” Al Marzugy told Khaleej Times.
The Establishment of the Quran and the Sunnah in Sharjah opened doors this year for disabled competitors, be they Emiratis or expatriates, for the first time.
“The competitors, aged between 10 and 19, were competing in the categories of 10 chapters, one part, and two parts of the Holy Quran,” Al Marzugy said.
Al Marzugy said the final results will be announced within a week. “The top 10 winners will be honoured, while the other participants will be gifted valuable prizes.”
Shaikh Nadeem Mohammed, a member of the judging panel said the prize money of the Al Hassawi Award has been increased this year from half a million to one million dirhams.
Ahmed Al Mazlum, CEO of Al Thiqa Club, said such competitions encourage nationals to organise similar awards for memorising the Holy Quran.
“Opening doors for people with special needs will help enhance their involvement in the society.”
