Department Of Qur’an Recitation Competitions

Al-Bara ibn ‘Azib reported: The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, said, “Beautify the Quran with your voices.”

(Sunan an-Nasa’i 1015 Book 11, Hadith 140)

Qur’an recitation competitions are a popular way for Muslims to display their proficiency in this ancient and beautiful art. These competitions usually take place during the month of Ramadan and often attract large crowds of spectators. The rules of Qur’an recitation competitions vary from country to country but generally involve contestants competing to see who can recite the Qur’an most beautifully and accurately. Qur’an recitation competitions have become increasingly popular in the Muslim world, with many countries now holding their own national competitions.
