Burkina Faso's Mohamed Sowadoko in Quran Contest
Participant Muhammad Sawaduku from Burkina Faso took part in the 46th edition of the King Abdulaziz International Competition for Memorization, Recitation, and Tafsir of the Quran. His journey began in childhood and spanned five years of memorization and revision, performed away from his parents. He started learning the Quran at school before joining memorization centers, where he would spend nine months each year and return to his family during the vacations. His studies relied on a daily approach of listening and reviewing from after Fajr prayer until after Maghrib. After completing his memorization at a young age, he participated in local competitions and secured first place among more than a hundred contestants, which paved the way for his participation in the international contest. He prepared for about four months, working on improving his recitation and refining his performance with readers from his country. He emphasized that reaching Mecca and fulfilling a long-held dream marked the pinnacle of his journey and was one of his most significant achievements. He praised the Kingdom's warm reception and the excellent care he received since his arrival. He expressed his hope to return for Umrah and Hajj, and to continue his studies at one of the Kingdom's universities to serve the religion and the Quran. He also extended his gratitude to the leadership for their care and support of the Holy Book.
