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.

துபாய் ஹோட்டலில் தீடீர் தீ விபத்து
துபாய் அல் மக்தூம் சாலையில் உள்ள ஹோட்டல் ஒன்றில் வெள்ளிக்கிழமை பிற்பகல் திடீரென தீ விபத்து ஏற்பட்டது. இதனையடுத்து அவ்வழியே செல்லும் வாகனங்களை தீயணைப்புத்துறை அதிகாரிகள் வேறு பகுதிகள் வழியே திருப்பி விட்டனர்.
பத்து ஆம்புலன்ஸ் வாகனங்ளும், பல தீயணைப்பு வண்டிகளும் சம்பவ இடத்தில் தீயினை கட்டுக்குள் கொண்டுவர தீவிரமாக ஈடுபட்டன. பெரும்பாலான விருந்தினர்களை தீயணைப்பு வீரர்கள் வெளியேற்றினர்.
ஹோட்டலில் உள்ள உணவகத்தில் இருந்து தீ ஏற்பட்டதாக இச்சம்பவத்தை நேரில் பார்த்தவர்கள் தெரிவித்தனர். எனினும் தீ விபத்தில் எவரும் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட தகவல் இதுவரை இல்லை.
சமீபத்தில் அட்லாண்டிஸ் எனும் நட்சத்திர ஹோட்டலில் தீ விபத்து ஏற்பட்ட வடு மறையும் முன் தற்பொழுது ஏற்பட்டுள்ள தீ விபத்து தீயணைப்புத்துறைக்கு பெரும் சவாலாக உருவெடுத்துள்ளது.

The organisers of Dubai International Holy Quran Awards will honour Saudi Arabia's services for Islam during the concluding ceremony of the 12th session of the annual event by bestowing the Islamic Personality of the Year Award upon the King Fahad Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran.
The King Fahad Complex is the only second organisation to get this award since its inception over a decade ago. The first organisation was the famous Al Azhar University of Cairo.
King Fahd Bin Abdel Aziz, the Custodian of the Two Holy Shrines, laid the cornerstone of the Complex in 1403 AH and inaugurated it in 1405 AH. The average annual production of the Complex is 10 million copies, the distribution is the same. It has produced more than 90 editions and 165 million copies and has so far distributed more than 142 million copies to Muslims all over world continents. The Complex has published 55 different translations of the Holy Quran in 39 languages.
It always makes continuous studies and researches for the service of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah.
The Complex has the most advanced printing technologies in the world. The Complex offers each pilgrim a copy of the Mushaf on his way back home after completing Hajj rituals. Important considerations have accounted for the establishment of the Complex:
First, the increasing need of the Muslim world for the Glorious Quran and its related fields of study.
Second, the importance of providing the best services for the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH), the important role which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia plays in the service of Islam and Muslims.
Besides printing and distributing the Holy Quran, the complex also produces audio-recordings of the Holy Quran, translates the meaning of the Holy Quran and its interpretation, promotes Quranic fields of study, the study of the Sunnah and the Prophet's Biography, supports Islamic studies and researches and provides domestic and international networks with the Complex publications.

துபாய் சர்வதேச திருக்குர்ஆன் மனனப் போட்டியில் பங்கேற்ற ஒன்பது வயது லெபனான் மாணவர் பெருமிதம்
Nine-year-old proud to make it

How much longer? When will it be time? I am so thirsty. Maybe I can just take a sip? No one's going to find out.
A million thoughts ran through nine-year-old Ahmad's head as he struggled to keep his first fast.
In the end, Ahmad succeeded keeping his first day of fasting. "It was difficult in the beginning, especially since I was at school and felt very thirsty. I'm proud I made it," he said.
Ahmad credits his perseverance to his mother, Hanine Saif Al Deen. He said that she taught him to be patient.
"As his mother, I had to be encouraging. I think it helped when I asked him to compare a day's hunger to the helplessness of poor people who go for days without food. I am happy that my children know their religious duties," Hanine said.
Ahmad has an elder brother, 12-year-old Salah, and a three-year-old sister, Deema. While Salah fasted last year, he confesses that his fast was not as difficult, especially since he spent most of the day at home.
To help, Hanine allowed her children to fast for half a day until noon, before they could observe a full day's fast.
"The practice fast helps a lot as it gives a fair idea of how the actual day might be like. I can now do more religious duties like praying and reading the Quran," Ahmad said.
As a ritual, the Saif Al Deen family reads the Quran, each evening, before breaking their fast at iftar. It's a good way, they say, to end the Sawm. Originally from Lebanon, the family of five has been in the UAE for the past eight years.
Ask Ahmad what his one thought was during the fast and the prompt response is - "spaghetti!"
He said: "It's all I could think of. I even coaxed my mother to make me some."
It was difficult in the beginning, especially since I was at school and felt very thirsty. I'm proud I made it."
