Every year, the Dubai International Holy Quran Award is keen to attract the best contestants who have memorized the Book of God around the world, and the most memorized and mastered of Tajweed and its rulings.
On every night of the award, the observers and the jury realize the truth of this, after testing the contestants on the judging platform. However, yesterday was special and remarkable when a blind Egyptian contestant entered the race to compete with 6 others who competed on the second day of the competition for the first 10 places for the award. A shining star with his level of performance, memorization, and ability to silence the jury’s alarm bell.
Youssef Al-Sayyid Abdel Muti Al-Ashaal, a student at the Faculty of Qur’anic Sciences at Al-Azhar University, is 20 years old. He was born blind, but God blessed him with memorizing the Qur’an in his early years. He began memorizing it at the age of three, and finished it at the age of 8.
His father was keen to take him to the memorization center, and he worked hard to memorize it, and he used to listen to the surahs of the Qur’an on the recorder before taking it to the sheikh to hear what he had memorized. After the death of his father, may God have mercy on him, his mother took over the task, so that God gave him a distinct talent that enabled him to know the verse and surah number. The part number is when you hear a verse from the Book of God.
Al-Ash’al said after finishing the test: I review more than 3 parts a day, and I have 4 brothers, two of whom are also blind. While his mother, who was accompanying him, said: Since Yusuf was young, he used to say that he would become an imam among the people, and this is what happened, and he was sitting as a child listening to… He broadcast the radio to reciters, hoping that he would recite the Qur’an like them. Praise be to God, he achieved what he wished for.
In addition to Youssef Al-Ashaal, Hamid Muhammad Shakeel from Portugal, Abu Bakr Abdel Razzaq from Tajikistan, Shuaib Sharafuddin Muhammad from India, Jamal Alami Omar from Denmark, Abdullah Sharif Issa from Thailand, and Asadullah Saad Badalu from Australia, competed on the second day of the award, in the presence of Members of the award’s organizing committee, officials, diplomats and sponsors of the competition.
Counselor Salah Boufarousha, the first public lawyer in Dubai, praised the great continued success of the Dubai International Holy Quran Competition and the Public Prosecution’s keenness to sponsor the competition’s activities as strategic partners and among the first to participate in sponsoring the award, directing his thanks to the organizing committee of the award, headed by Counselor Ibrahim Muhammad Bu Melha, and the members of the committee, for their efforts. Blessed and distinguished, she achieved success in all local and international Qur’anic Award competitions.
For his part, Radwan Jadot, the Australian ambassador to the country, who came to support his country’s contestant, confirmed that the competition has become famous around the world as the best Quranic competitions that Muslims await in the month of Ramadan, and every memorizer of the Qur’an is keen to participate in it, and it is an honor for every memorizer of the Qur’an.
