Hawzah News Agency- This year’s edition, the competition is dedicated to the late renowned reciter Sheikh Al-Shahhat Mohamed Anwar, one of the country’s most distinguished Quran reciters.
Awqaf Minister Osama Al-Azhari delivered a speech at the competition’s opening ceremony in the presence of the ministers of health and population and youth and sports, Egypt’s Mufti and senior state and religious officials.
Al-Azhari stated that the 32nd International Holy Quran Competition is a major global event for which the ministry prepares throughout the year.
He noted that the event has attracted contestants from more than 70 countries alongside Egyptian participants, underscoring its status as one of the world’s leading Quranic competitions.
He added that the competition coincides with the success of Egypt’s newly launched State of Recitation programme, which he described as a “window of light” that has earned wide acclaim both domestically and internationally. The programme, he said, complements the competition by promoting a model of enlightened religious understanding and cultural engagement.
