QCell finished its yearly Qur'anic Recitation Contest and Azaan Competition last Wednesday at QCity. They served a large Iftar dinner for everyone who came. This program lets students from religious schools all over the country show how well they can recite the Qur'an. Students competed based on whether they could recite the full Qur'an, half, or a quarter of it.
Muhammed Jah from QGroup talked about how they first held smaller contests around the country. He said imams play a key role in the community as peacekeepers. These religious leaders help with marriages and connect Muslims. Jah mentioned that imams come to funerals, naming ceremonies, and many events, but sometimes, people forget about them.
That's why they asked imams from all over the country to attend this special meal. Jah thanked President Barrow and his team for their help with the event. He also praised QGroup staff who worked hard to make everything go well. Minister Hamat Bah showed up and thanked QGroup for putting everything together.
Bah urged QGroup to keep holding these events each year. He mentioned this was just one small way Muslims can support each other. Eight students went home with cash prizes for their amazing recitation skills. Abdoulie Ousman Jarsey won D100,000 for the full Qur'an category, with Abdourahman Boye earning D75,000 as the runner-up.
Muhammad Sanusi Ahmad Jallow received D75,000 for winning the half Qur'an contest. Ahmad Sanusi Muhammad Bah earned D50,000 as runner-up. Abdoulie Muhammed Sellou Jallow won D50,000 for the quarter Qur'an section. Muhammed Ali Alpha Bah took D25,000 as runner-up. For the Azaan contest, Muhammed Sanneh won D20,000 and Muhamadou Lamin Jah received D15,000.
The celebration drew many important guests. Religious leaders came from all around. Cabinet ministers showed their support by attending. Members of the Supreme Islamic Council joined the crowd. Regular people from the community also filled the room to celebrate young people who learn and honor Islamic traditions.
