A remarkable achievement was made by 10-year-old Muhammad Bashar from Swat, Pakistan, who secured fourth place in the international Quran recitation competition, “Mazamir Dawood,” held in Algeria. The competition, which ran from August 18 to 31, featured participants from over 15 countries, demonstrating the global talent and dedication to Quranic recitation.
Muhammad Bashar’s achievement not only brought pride to Pakistan but also highlighted the strong cultural and spiritual connection between Pakistan and Algeria. His accomplishment is especially significant, considering his young age and the high level of competition he faced.
Organized by the Algerian private media outlet Echorouk, “Mazamir Dawood” is an annual event that showcases the skills of young Quran reciters from around the world. This competition provides a platform for young talent to demonstrate their dedication and mastery of Quranic recitation, a highly respected and revered practice in the Muslim world.
For securing the fourth position, Muhammad Bashar was awarded a prize of $1,500. His success is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and the support he has received from his community.
In addition to the “Mazamir Dawood” competition, Algeria’s Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments organizes another international Quran recitation contest annually. This event, held under the patronage of the President of Algeria, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, further emphasizes Algeria’s commitment to promoting Quranic knowledge and recitation.
Muhammad Bashar’s achievement at such a young age is an inspiration to many and reflects the deep-rooted cultural and religious values that are nurtured in countries like Pakistan and Algeria. His success story serves as a beacon of hope and encouragement for young Quran reciters worldwide.
