dubai — “The more I memorise, the more pocket money I get,” said 17-year-old high school student Abdullah Akpar Ali, who is representing Kyrgyzstan in the Dubai International Holy Quran Award this year.

“I started memorising the Quran at the age of six and finished at nine. My mother has always been urging me to follow the steps of my four brothers who have memorised the holy book in full,” added Abdullah.

“Thanks to the firm memorisation programme I follow, I never forget a word. While I am used to reading three volumes of the Holy Quran everyday during school time, I revise five volumes in holiday time, and half or the entire Quran through competitions,” he explained. “After having mastered memorisation and recitation of the Holy Quran, I was nominated by the Kyrgyz Fatwa Department for many local and international competitions,” he pointed out.

Paying tribute to his mother, 19-year-old Abdul Lateef Hamza Veluthedath, a student of Shariah College, said, “Without my mother’s support, I would not have been able to memorise the Holy Quran.”

“I am very proud to represent India in the contest,” he said, adding that he was nominated by the Centre of Islamic Culture, following high competence he showed in three previous international competitions.

“Without the Holy Quran, I would have gone astray. It has filled my heart with illumination and tranquility, and took away my worries,” he said.
