The annual Qur’anic recitation was held at the DirectAid headquarters in Accra on Wednesday, April 3, in honour of Dr. Abdul Rahman Summeit, who is the founder of the DirectAid Society.

The Quran Recitation Competition, which took center stage in Accra, was an extraordinary success, leaving participants and attendees inspired and filled with emotion, with some shedding tears.

The competition reached its crescendo after participants in the finals competed in their various regions and emerged as winners in their various categories of the competition.

Participants displayed their Quranic recitation prowess to the admiration of the judges and the attendees, who were enriched with verses from the Holy Quran.

The competition, according to the Country Director of DirectAid Society, Ghana, Mr. Saami, serves as a platform for participants to exhibit their Quranic knowledge and recitation talents.
