Report writing on Quran competition in school

Answer 1

The mission of AlHuda International School is to integrate academic excellence and Quranic knowledge in the best possible manner in order to raise responsible practicing Muslims. Taking another leap towards achieving its mission, AIS organized annual Qira’at competition on Tuesday, 18th December 2012, in order to enhance the love of Allah (SWT) and Quran in children and to inculcate in them a desire and habit to read Quran in the manner taught by the Prophet saw .
Prior to the Grand Finale, different rounds of qira’at competitions were conducted amongst the students of all grades, including both Montessori and Junior sections. Students had been coached by their teachers at school and reinforced by parents at home for improving their Qira’at skills of the selected surahs. Special emphasis is on reciting with the correct makharij, abiding by the rules of tajweed, avoiding mistakes in recitation and reciting with confidence.
