New Date For Qur`an Recitation Contest Announced; It’s December 19!

The competition, held by Religious Administration of Muslims of Ukraine “Umma” along with All-Ukrainian Association of Social Organisations “Alraid”, is to take place at Kyiv Islamic Cultural Centre (25a Dehtyarivska Str.) on December 19; the event begins at 10 am. Initially, it was to be held in October, but was delayed on technical grounds upon request of our partners, The Holy Qur’an Memorization International Organization (HQMI, Saudi Arabia).

We hope that the participants used that additional time well and improved their knowledge and recitation skills, so that the competition would be a really exciting event where the contestants will fight for every hundredth of a point!

The terms of participation remain the same: anyone having either citizenship or residence permit in Ukraine or one of CIS. Please note that Ukrainian nationals have to go through preliminary rounds at one of regional Islamic Cultural Centres or Mosques of RAMU “Umma”.

Knowledge level is the only criteria for fractionalizing, regardless of the age, sex and ability to speak Arabic. There are five levels in general: the whole Qur’an (30 Juz), 15 Juz, 10 Juz, 5 Juz and 2 Juz.

Not only knowledge of the Qur’anic text is to be estimated, but ability to recite according to tajweed as well. Winners and runners-up are to be awarded with money prizes.

Additional information is available on the telephone +38 (093) 508-53-25 (Ismail Kady), besides, you can check the www.facebook.com/islam.kiev page as well.
