Ten young Muslims have received prizes including money for their exceptional performances at the 2022 national Quran memorisation competition.
The initiative took place concurrently in four other countries: Nigeria, Mali, Togo and Niger. The grand finale for the West African edition will be announced later.
This year, 30 contestants made it to the national level. It was organised by Gaskia TV at the national mosque in Kanda.
The CEO of Gaskia TV, Alhaji Hamza Tanko said the essence of the exercise is to imbibe the meaning of Quran scriptures in the youth.
“The Muslim holy scripture was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) in the month of Ramadan and there could not have been a better time to encourage the world to learn, memorise and work on the dictates of this great scripture,” Tanko said.
The final contest took place on the night of Sunday 10th April 2022, at the National Mosque of the Republic of Ghana, at Kanda.
The finalists took home the following prize tags:
1. 1st position male and female category = $5,000 educational package each + a ticket to embark on Hajj to Islam’s holiest sites in Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia
