The event draws the participation of contestants who are officially nominated by various countries and Islamic schools as fitting representatives of their communities. It draws to a grand close with a well-attended awards ceremony, which gives away coveted rankings and prizes for the meticulous rendition of the Holy Quran by rote.
Hesham Al Qassim, CEO of Wasl and Dubai Real Estate Corporation, said:
"Wasl is committed to furthering the UAE's cultural and religious activities while supporting community initiatives. In sponsoring for the second time in a row, the annual Dubai International Holy Quran Awards, we aim to reach out to the Islamic community and support the development of young Islamic scholars on their mission to memorise the Holy Book."
"The Wasl initiative is in line with our core values that prioritizes people as one of its main pillars. We consider the sponsorship a great honour and we believe this solemn event will significantly contribute to the development and integration of our communities," added Al Qassim.
To qualify for the Dubai International Holy Quran Awards male contestants must be less than 21 years of age, and possess the ability to recite the entire Holy Quran from memory in Tajweed style. Previous participants are not eligible to enter into the competition this year.
