The visually impaired Huffaz will exhibit their skills of rendering the holy Quran in different styles. The competition is being organised under the banner of Jamiatul Huffaz, Bhatkal.
Bhatkal Jamiatul Huffaz president Maulana Niyamatullah Askeri Nadvi said that memorizing holy Quran and remembering it throughout the life was not everyone's cup of tea. The only book on Earth to be learned by heart is 'Quran'. There are number of Hafiz-e-Quran around the world who have memorized the Quran. Another great thing is that there are thousands of visually impaired who have memorized the Holy Quran. The main aim of organising the event is to provide a platform to support visually impaired people, to give them a chance and make them feel part of the society, Maulana added. Samaan Khaleefa Nadvi, convener of the programme said: "In order to integrate visually impaired Muslims in India and to push young generation of faithful to the study the holy book we are organizing this event. ``Another reason for organizing such event is that we want to tell our non-Muslim brothers and sisters that Quran is book of guidance for the entire mankind. It tells and teaches us what to do and what not to do, what is right and what is wrong. It guides the humanity in every aspect of life,'' he added. Nadvi also said the hafiz standing first, second and third in the competition will be presented cash awards along with mementos. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
