National Quran Competitions

The National Quran Competitions aim to promote Quranic recitation, memorization, and understanding among youth and communities in Uganda. This flagship spiritual initiative, inspired by Islamic values of knowledge and devotion, fosters a deeper connection with the Quran and serves as a platform for spiritual excellence. The first edition, held in 2025 at Kampala Serena Hotel, marked a significant milestone in our efforts to strengthen spiritual literacy.

Objectives:

• Organize Uganda’s largest Quran competition to encourage excellence in Quranic studies and inspire youth engagement with Islamic texts.

Activities:
• Host annual nationwide events with qualified judges evaluating participants on recitation, memorization (Hifz), and understanding.
• Award top performers with prizes, including a car and Umrah trips (e.g., 2025 winner received these rewards).
• Engage local mosques and schools to broaden participation across regions.
Implementation Details:
• Timeline: Inaugural event in 2025; planned as an annual tradition.
• Partners: Twahirah Islamic Center, local scholars, and event sponsors.
• Resources: Venue bookings, judging panels, and prize funding.

Impact:
• Strengthens spiritual literacy, engaging hundreds of participants and inspiring youth to deepen their faith.
• Elevates community pride and unity through a shared cultural and religious experience.
