NEW DELHI: The 20th All India Competition for Memorization and Tafseer of the Holy Qur’an, organized by Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadees Hind, successfully concluded on August 3-4. Over five hundred students from Islamic seminaries across India participated in the event. Winners in six categories were honored with certificates, cash prizes, and valuable books.
During the closing ceremony, Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mehdi Salafi, president of Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadees, emphasized the Qur’an’s timeless relevance in addressing the problems faced by humanity. He described the Qur’an as a prescription for peace, wisdom, and happiness, urging believers to spread its message to every heart. Maulana Salafi highlighted how, despite opposition throughout history, the Qur’an has gained global recognition, particularly after events like 9/11, as people seek its guidance.
Maulana Muhammad Haroon Sanabli, general secretary of Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadees, pointed out the Qur’an’s power to unite people regardless of their societal status, as seen when a humble individual leads prayer, and others follow.
Other speakers, including Maulana Attaur Rahman Qasmi, Maulana Khursheed Alam Madani, and former Jamia Millia Islamia professor Akhtarul Wasey, echoed similar sentiments, stressing the Qur’an’s role in fostering brotherhood, peace, and harmony in today’s world. They underscored the significance of living by the Qur’an’s teachings, not just memorizing or reciting its verses, as the true path to success and fulfillment.
The event also featured addresses from Vice President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Malik Mutasim Khan, President of All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, Adv Feroz Ahmad, and other prominent figures, who reiterated the importance of the Qur’an as the final message of guidance for humanity.
