Specialised judging committees

These committees evaluate participants according to the highest standards of memorisation, recitation, and performance across all categories of the competition, ensuring the accuracy, fairness, and transparency of the results.

Significant milestone in the ongoing Quranic endeavours

Of these, 332 finalists, representing the best memorisers and students of the Holy Quran and Sunnah in the Emirate, qualified for the final rounds.

The Establishment noted its commitment to developing the competition's branches by adding a new branch for readings, in line with the scientific and age development of the participants. Specialised judging committees work to evaluate the participants' performance according to precise and unified standards to ensure fairness and transparency in the results. Through this award, we also seek to consolidate Quranic culture and spread the sciences of the Holy Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah among various segments of society.
