Secondary: Annual Quran Competition

The final round of the 2026 Quran Competition for Secondary School students was marked by a positive educational and spiritual atmosphere, reflecting the students’ enthusiasm to participate and their genuine desire to compete in memorising, reciting, and mastering the Quran. The finalists demonstrated a high level of preparation and commitment, together with a strong spirit of positive competition and exemplary conduct throughout the event.

The final round was characterised by careful organisation and thorough preparation. The Quran Department ensured that a calm and well-structured environment was provided to enable students to perform at their best. Each participant was also given sufficient time to complete their recitation and demonstrate their abilities in memorisation, recitation, and Tajweed, while ensuring fairness and equal opportunities for all participants.

One of the notable features of the final round was the participation of a number of local mosque Imams in judging the competition alongside the Head of the Quran Department. Their involvement contributed to a diversity of expertise and perspectives in the assessment process and strengthened the objectivity and accuracy of the judging. It also provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the school, religious institutions, and the wider community.

The competition was not merely an opportunity to compete for achievement and recognition; rather, it represented a meaningful educational experience that encouraged students to continue memorising and reviewing the Quran and to further develop their recitation and Tajweed skills. It also promoted important values such as perseverance, discipline, self-confidence, and respectful competition, while reinforcing the principle that serving and maintaining a strong connection with the Quran should remain a central goal.

The event reflected the ongoing efforts of the Quran Department to support students and encourage them to develop their abilities, continue their journey of Quran memorisation, reflection, and practice, and to ensure that the Quran remains an integral part of their learning, character, and daily lives.
