The young Qur’an memorizer (Hafiz) , Hassan Mussa represented Malawi at the 29th International Holy Qur’an competition held in Cairo, Egypt.
Speaking in an interview with Muslim Media Agency, Qadria Muslim Association of Malawi (QMAM), Publicity Secretary, Maulana Abubaker Panchi says Mussa represented the country well at the competition conducted from 3rd February to 8th February, 2023.
“Last year, 2022 in November, The ministry of Foreign Affairs in conjunction with Ministry of Unity entrusted our leadership to get a Hafiz, not more than 40 years to participate at the 29th International Holy Quran competition, which our respected National Chairman Sheikh Jafar Kawinga initiated accordingly,”
“The request came from Egyptian Embassy to Malawi and among the names received and sent to Egypt for their assessment, Mussa of was successful and was offered opportunity to participate in that highly respected competition,” Maulana Panchi says.
QMAM Publicity Secretary says the young man represented the country well at the event.
“The competitors were graded into 7 level categories of which our Hafiz was in level 5. Hafiz Hasan Mussa participated well, however he was not successful. Egyptians were successful in all levels just very few from west Africa. All competitors were over 100,” he says.
Despite having memorised the holy Quran, Mussa, is also a 3rd year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at Blantyre International University ( BIU).
Let us pray for him in future involvement in similar and other related programs.
