Qualifying Round for Third International Qur'anic Contest
The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs in Qatar has concluded the qualifying rounds of the third edition of the International Quranic Competition "First of the Firsts." This competition is among the most prominent international contests dedicated to the memorization and recitation of the Holy Quran, featuring wide participation with 82 contestants from 33 countries. The qualifying rounds showcased a high technical level, leading to the selection of the top 40 contestants to advance to the second phase scheduled for November. This phase will take place at the Imam Muhammad bin Abd Al-Wahhab Mosque, with an international judging panel comprising experts in recitations and Tajweed. The competition features a distinguished group of Quran memorizers and top winners from the Sheikh Jassim bin Mohamed bin Thani Contest. The event aims to assess participants’ understanding of the meanings of the Quran and to enhance their comprehension, in addition to memorization and accurate recitation of the verses. Special attention is given to understanding the meanings of words through the book "Al-Siraj Fi Bayan Gharib Al-Quran" (The Lamp in Clarifying Quranic Unfamiliarities). The finalists will compete in the final stage held in Qatar, where the top ten contenders will vie for the title of "First of the Firsts" and a prize of one million Qatari riyals—the largest sum awarded in an international Quranic competition. This competition reflects Qatar's standing in the global Quranic arena and seeks to strengthen its role as a center for Quranic initiatives, in line with the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030 for human development and societal progress.
