Armm holds 1st Qur'an-reading contest
Following the successful holding of a Qur'an Reading Exhibition during the celebration of the Shariff Kabunsuan Festival late last year, the Bureau on Cultural Heritage-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BCH-Armm) spearheads yet another activity to promote and preserve important religious and cultural Muslim practices -- the 1st Armm Regional Qur'an Reading Competition.
The competition, held Tuesday at the Municipal Gymnasium, Poblacion, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao, attracted individuals who excel in Qur'an reading throughout the region.
Each of the five component provinces of the Armm, including the City of Marawi, sent in a pair of participant -- a male and a female -- to the competition. The official line-up of participants included Nurhadi Dasan and Aima Nawawi of Basilan, Majed Ahmad and Zainab Hanafe of Lanao del Sur, Lahmudin Makabuat and Suraidah Ampatuan of Maguindanao, Jaber Noor and Warda Alang of the City of Marawi, Benmunir Arip and Hurinnur Kisri of Sulu, and Omar Muktar Burugan and Hasma Hassan of Tawi-Tawi.
The BCH took upon itself the task of institutionalizing the annual conduct of the Armm Regional Qur'an Reading Competition, as stated in its mandate. (N. Maulana)
